Top news of the day 😄

The son of the head of Chechnya, Adam Kadyrov, received a medal again.

This time, he was awarded a medal for his contribution to the development of the Russian Guard — the OMON unit "Akhmat-Krepost". The award ceremony was held in connection with his active participation in the SVO, as well as for significant assistance in the implementation of combat missions and the development of the Russian Guard structures.

This is already the 26th award received by Adam Kadyrov.

Airspace over Moscow closed amid reports of explosions near Domodedovo airport. Ukrainian UAVs can be seen flying over Moscow.

Trump made it clear to European allies that he is confident in Russia's victory, — Bloomberg

During a telephone conversation with EU representatives and Zelensky, Trump repeated the Kremlin's narratives

🇷🇺📉 Despite Putin’s claims, Russia’s advance in Ukraine is slowing. New battlefield data shows territorial gains have halved compared to late 2024, with Ukrainian forces holding strong.

The United States can no longer solve all the world's problems, Secretary of State Rubio says

We see, we see…

The US is no longer insisting on a ceasefire in Ukraine, — Bild.

After talking with Putin, Donald Trump stated that "Russia and Ukraine must find a solution themselves" and refused to join the new EU sanctions.

This was a blow to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who had previously promised to work with Trump to pressure Moscow. European leaders were left without US support.

Now, in the new reality, Europe has no choice — it must either significantly strengthen Ukraine or fight alone.

Rubio failed to call Putin a war criminal when asked directly about it:

– Senator Keating: Putin. Is he a war criminal?
– Rubio: What happened there really does look like war crimes. But our main goal is to stop the war.
– Senator Keating: Is he a war criminal?
– Rubio: We can't stop the war without talking to Mr. Putin.
– Senator Keating: No, it's quite simple. Is he a war criminal?
– Rubio: This is the person we are negotiating with!
– Senator Keating: Putin is a war criminal? It's not difficult.
– Rubio: I'm trying to answer by saying that we are working to end the war right now.

Trump is an idiot

The U.S. Department of Defense has formally accepted a Boeing 747-8 gifted by Qatar’s Royal Family to the United States, with the Air Force having been instructed to find a way to rapidly upgrade it so it can be put into use as Air Force One for President Donald J. Trump. In a statement earlier today announcing their acceptance of the aircraft, Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell stated, “The Department of Defense will work to ensure proper security measures and functional-mission requirements are considered for an aircraft used to transport the President of the United States.”
