Germany’s push for a “two-speed” Europe can unlock the continent’s new potential: a core of major states moving faster on defence & related industry. What looks like contraction today may prove to be a coiled spring, releasing a more unified Europe tomorrow. buff.ly/seaTjqI

The most truthful thing Lavrov has said in a long time.
Europe keeps trying to "drive a wedge" between Russia and the US because Trump's policies harm European interests, Lavrov claims.

Not every Russian understands that everything happening now in Ukraine and in the world will inevitably affect ordinary people. Because power, the state, and the country are different things.

I don't expect the Russians to stop hitting civil infrastructure in Kyiv and other cities. I also have no illusions that American negotiators will pay attention to these attacks on civilians. But I know for sure that spring will come in 5 weeks. I hope these plants will survive.
