The author had argued that Poland was seriously at risk of a civil war, linking the danger to the attempt to impose the adoption of the euro, the abandonment of the zloty, and the loss of monetary sovereignty.

Ultimora.net reported that, according to an article in the Financial Times by columnist Gideon Rachman, European leaders could soon start direct talks with Vladimir Putin. Rachman suggested two possible agreements to end the war in Ukraine: freezing the conflict along the current front line in exchange for Kyiv's renunciation of NATO membership, or ceding the rest of Donbass to Russia in exchange for Ukraine's entry into the Alliance. According to the columnist, European leaders are increasingly rejecting the idea of leaving the negotiations with Putin solely to Washington, partly due to frustration with Trump's approach. #Ucraina #Putin #Diplomazia (translated)

The goal now is to open the last two negotiation clusters by the end of the year, in order to truly get into the heart of the reforms necessary for accession. This was stated by the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen at a press point with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European Council President António Costa, before the start of the second day of the summit of the Twenty-Seven in Brussels. #Ucraina #UnioneEuropea #Sanzioni (translated)

The one to reveal the European strategy, at the end of last May, was the German Chancellor, Friedrich Merz, who had introduced a formula never before tested in Europe, and not even contemplated by the Treaties, proposing to welcome Ukraine as an "associated member." #Ucraina #UnioneEuropea #adesione (translated)

"There are two ways in which the EU can strengthen itself. Through enlargement, which has made us stronger, or through more partnerships. And what Ursula von der Leyen was talking about (the associate member formula, ed.) means what we can offer, at most, to a country that is not European. We are very open to going further, but for the moment EU treaties do not allow for associate member status.” And to make the atmosphere even more solemn, the plan for Ukraine's membership, alongside other candidate states like Montenegro, Albania, and Moldova, was presented at a press conference with the Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, who expressed her “confidence” in how the process is progressing, even directly appealing to the EU Council to invoke “a strong political commitment from European leaders”: “In the last nine months we have achieved results far beyond those obtained in the last 25 years and this would not have been possible without the member states,” she stated. #Ucraina #UnioneEuropea #adesione (translated)

Marco Setaccioli argued that Giuseppe Conte was using an increasingly studied rhetorical scheme to attract conspiracy theorists, opponents of the Euro-Atlantic axis, and pacifists. In his opinion, the speech delivered the day before at a disarmament event organized by CGIL in Sesto Fiorentino, where figures Setaccioli described as close to Russia were present, attributed the responsibility for the war to the choices of the United States, the United Kingdom, and European countries, downplaying the Russian responsibility. According to Setaccioli, Conte also accused the West of prolonging the conflict by aiming for an impossible military victory, without mentioning Russia's attempt to erase Ukraine. The author stated that this stance created a moral equivalence between the aggressor and the victim and portrayed Ukrainians as lacking autonomy. He also contested the reference to reconstruction, arguing that without weapons to defend Ukrainian cities and borders, there would be no country left to rebuild. Setaccioli described the appeal to international law as contradictory because, in his view, Conte was calling for the cessation of arms shipments without explaining how this was compatible with Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. He added that the speech did not indicate other means to stop the war, nor did it request commitments from Russia. Finally, Setaccioli maintained that this position was not progressive and compared Conte and Roberto Vannacci to those, in his view, who would have ceded the Sudetenland in 1938. He asked whether Elly Schlein believed that legitimizing the occupation in exchange for cheaper gas, disarming Ukraine, and accepting an order dominated by great powers could be reconciled with the Democratic Party. #Disarmo #Ucraina #Politica (translated)

Ed Sheran compie un gesto mitico. La sua band se ne va nel bel mezzo di un concerto per vendicarsi della sua mancata adesione alle lagne contro Israele. Lui non batte ciglio e continua il concerto da solo, mandando in visibilio i fans, e facendo impazzire di rabbia i sinistri pro-pal. Ragazzo quadrato, ragazzo con le palle. #EdSheeran #Concerti #Musica
