❗️Russia bears unequivocal responsibility for the actions in Polish,Estonian&Romanian air spaces -European Parliament

MEPs strongly condemn Russia’s "reckless and escalatory actions" of violating the airspace of EU and NATO member states Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Romania. They also denounce the deliberate drone incursions aimed at critical infrastructure in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.

They are, MEPs say, part of Russia’s “systematic military and hybrid warfare and provocations against the EU” and its member states.

Trump's ceasefire has a long road to get to peace, but it's promising and he deserves credit
Gaza Ceasefire Is No Peace, But Even So It’s ‘Huge’
Israel and Hamas have reached a ceasefire deal, the first stage in a 20-point plan to end the war. Does this, as Donald Trump says, mean we’re on the cusp of everlasting peace in the Middle East? Will we now see Gaza’s reconstruction under an Arab-led international force as both Hamas and the Israeli Defense Forces disappear into the night? Not even close.

The agreement on the first phase of the Gaza peace deal marks a significant breakthrough.

This is a major diplomatic accomplishment and a real chance to end a devastating war and release all the hostages.

The EU will do what it can to support its implementation.
