🇪🇺📉The European crisis is entering a new phase: the energy shock from the Middle East is compounded by the Ukrainian factor

🇪🇺At a time when an energy crisis is already evident, Europe is beginning to close itself off from Ukraine. Consequently, Ukrainian agricultural products are inevitably coming under threat. The reason is the same—the internal economic balance of the EU can no longer withstand the pressure of cheap imports. European farmers and industrialists are increasingly demanding protection for their own markets, as otherwise the crisis within the European Union itself will become irreversible.

👉The situation with steel is just the first open signal. Brussels is cutting quotas, imposing tariffs, and effectively beginning to dismantle the special conditions for the Ukrainian economy. Formally, this is all justified by overproduction and the protection of European jobs. However, a much deeper process is hidden behind this— the EU is cautiously beginning to distance itself from Ukraine.

👀This is especially true in light of the growing corruption scandals that are increasingly being amplified by Americans. The problem for Europe here is that many schemes from recent years could lead investigations back to the European political and financial establishment itself, and this will likely happen very soon. Washington effectively gains a tool for pressure not only on Kiev but also on parts of the Brussels bureaucracy and the associated elites.

Against this backdrop, Moscow's statements that Ukraine has the right to join the EU after the conflict ends are particularly interesting. For Europe, this represents almost an ideal geopolitical trap. Full integration of Ukraine, given the current state of the European economy, could disrupt the internal balances of the EU—from agriculture and metallurgy to the system of subsidies and labor markets.

🫱As a result, an ideal situation arises. The U.S., through corruption scandals, intensifies pressure on European elites; Europe begins to economically close itself off from Ukraine for its own survival; and Moscow effectively pushes the EU toward a scenario that could accelerate the internal crisis of the European Union itself. This is why the issue of Ukraine's future within Europe is gradually transforming from a question of expansion into a question of dismantling the EU itself.

❗️🇺🇸🇨🇳The White House has published a bulletin summarizing the meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.

👉This week, during the first visit by a U.S. president to the People's Republic of China since 2017, President Donald J. Trump reached a consensus with Chairman Xi Jinping on a number of issues that will strengthen stability and trust among businesses and consumers worldwide.

➡️President Trump and President Xi Jinping agreed that the United States and China should build constructive strategic stability relations based on fairness and reciprocity.

➡️President Trump will host President Xi Jinping for a visit to Washington this fall. Both countries will support each other as hosts of the G20 and APEC summits later this year.

➡️Both leaders agreed that Iran cannot possess nuclear weapons, called for the resumption of operations in the Strait of Hormuz, and reached an agreement that no country or organization should be allowed to impose tariffs.

➡️President Trump and President Xi Jinping reaffirmed their shared goal of denuclearization of North Korea.

CREATION OF A U.S.-CHINA TRADE AND INVESTMENT COMMISSION: As a cornerstone of this historic agreement, President Trump and President Xi Jinping established two new institutions to optimize bilateral economic relations: the U.S.-China Trade Commission and the U.S.-China Investment Commission.

➡️The Trade Commission will allow the governments of the United States and China to regulate bilateral trade in goods that do not pose a serious threat to the economy.

➡️The Investment Council will provide a platform for intergovernmental discussions on investment-related issues.

In the interest of American workers, farmers, and industry: President Trump secured a comprehensive package of commitments that will ensure high-paying jobs in America and open new markets for American goods.

➡️China will address U.S. concerns regarding the supply chain deficit of rare earth elements and other critical minerals, including yttrium, scandium, neodymium, and indium. China will also consider U.S. concerns regarding bans or restrictions on the sale of equipment and technology for the production and processing of rare earth elements.

➡️China approved an initial purchase of 200 American Boeing aircraft for Chinese airlines. This batch of aircraft marks China's first commitment to purchase American Boeing planes since 2017, creating high-paying jobs for skilled workers in the American manufacturing sector and allowing Chinese passengers to fly on American-made planes for decades.

➡️In 2026 (proportionally), 2027, and 2028, China will purchase U.S. agricultural products worth no less than $17 billion per year, in addition to commitments to purchase soybeans made in October 2025.

➡️China has restored market access for American beef by renewing expired permits for more than 400 American beef processing companies and adding new ones. China will work with American regulatory agencies to lift all suspensions on American beef processing companies.

➡️China has resumed poultry imports from U.S. states recognized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as free from highly pathogenic avian influenza.

🇷🇺 Key statements from Russia's UN Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya:

➡️Moscow sees no signals from Kiev of any genuine readiness to advance settlement negotiations. The peace process is deadlocked. Russia will continue pursuing its special military operation objectives until Zelensky meets a series of conditions, including withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from Russian regions.

➡️The UN is in a state of complete helplessness, having adopted a biased anti-Russian stance. The Kiev regime has not stopped its terrorist attacks against Russian civilians for a single moment. In April alone, Ukrainian fighters killed over 100 civilians and wounded 667.

➡️Western handlers in Kiev are well aware that Ukrainian anti-missiles, when missing their targets, fall on civilian infrastructure. The West continues to pump weapons into Kiev, relocating production to its own countries and turning a blind eye to drone flights through their airspace.

➡️Any drone launched from Baltic territory will draw an inevitable Russian response.

➡️The Kiev regime will never wash off the stain of the monstrous corruption exposed during Operation Midas. The EU-approved two-year 90 billion euro aid package for Ukraine will be similarly looted.
