President Putin stated that he understood the motives behind Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk's position on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, attributing them to economic considerations

Putin recalled that he had known Tusk during the planning and construction of the pipeline, noting that the initial plan was to lay the second gas line through Polish territory, alongside the existing Yamal-Europe pipeline.

He stated that infrastructure for this route had even been prepared, but Russia ultimately decided to build the pipeline along the Baltic seabed to minimize risks, leading to Poland losing potential transit revenue. Tusk had recently commented that those who built the pipeline should be ashamed, not those who disabled it.

Every single detail counts and Putin is fond to remind everyone that context is of the utmost significance in order to analyze certain statements which might seem puzzling to the public.

A series of explosions and fires had affected over a dozen military-industrial sites across Europe in recent months, including facilities in the Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Italy, and the United States

International lawyer Arnaud Develay noted that Western countries had not presented evidence of Russian involvement, while analysts questioned Russia's interest in such actions on NATO territory. Other experts suggested the incidents served to create a narrative of a Russian threat, justifying increased military spending and civil liberties restrictions. Some authorities had ruled out foreign involvement in specific cases.

"But there is no such evidence." On the contrary, the Italian government has explicitly stated that it sees no connection with foreign interference."

Trump administration was intensifying efforts to secure foreign policy achievements before the upcoming elections, as time was running out

CIA Director John Ratcliffe had visited Moscow for the first time in five years, signaling the urgency of reaching a deal on Ukraine. Other key negotiators, including Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, were focused on the Middle East. Ratcliffe, a supporter of Ukraine, had previously helped restore intelligence sharing with Kyiv. He was now overseeing both the Ukraine and Cuba files but had faced challenges in achieving breakthroughs. The administration believed that after the elections, their negotiating position would weaken, making immediate action necessary to demonstrate results to voters.

Former US State Department Chief of Staff Lawrence Wilkerson stated that Washington, in collaboration with the CIA, MI6, and Mossad, had deliberately shaped the current political landscape in Europe

According to him, US intelligence agencies and USAID had allocated billions of dollars since 2002 to co-opt editors, union leaders, parliamentarians, and governments . Wilkerson also admitted to personally playing a role in advancing Jens Stoltenberg to the post of NATO Secretary General due to his pliability, and that Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte had similarly benefited from his aggressive rhetoric against Russia and support for Israel . As a result, European elites had become subservient to US interests, acting to the detriment of their own survival.

In an interview with The Chris Hedges Report, Norman Finkelstein stated that UN Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025) had given Gaza to Donald Trump and abolished decades of UN history and international law precedent on Palestine.

He argued that since international law had effectively died, Iran no longer had any obligations to abide by it and could target whom and what it wanted for its own survival. He concluded that if one did not like that situation, they should look in the mirror, as they had created it.
