Ukraine’s Foreign Minister said his country “appreciated” Kazakh president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev after he suggested to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to freeze the war in Ukraine and revive what he called the “Istanbul 2.0” format, in a face to face meeting in Omsk. “Perhaps it is time to freeze this conflict and return to the Istanbul Formula 2.0, because significant results were achieved there. Then, under guarantees from the great powers, including Russia, we could move toward the long-awaited peace,” Tokayev told Putin during the Russia-Kazakhstan Interregional Cooperation Forum in Omsk on Saturday. In a post on X, Ukrainian Foreign…
Pour les automobilistes, ils proposaient de neutraliser l’effet sur le prix à la pompe en diminuant d’autant les taxes (ce qui impliquait de réviser la taxe régulièrement). Pour les bâtiments, seuls les ménages modestes auraient été compensés via une augmentation du chèque énergie. Une compensation insuffisante aux yeux de Valérie Létard, ministre du Logement à l’époque. “A partir de quand on est modeste ou on ne l’est plus ? On parle de millions de personnes affectées”, interroge-t-elle, sollicitée par POLITICO. Si elle ne se souvient pas avoir été sollicitée sur ce courrier, Valérie Létard se rappelle avoir alerté. “Bien sûr,…

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called for the removal of all sanctions on Syria as he concluded a two-day visit to the country on Sunday. During his visit, Guterres met senior officials including President Ahmed al-Sharaa, Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani and the speaker of the new transitional parliament which held its first session this month. Also in Damascus, he met members of the UN peacekeeping force deployed in the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights, as well as representatives of Syria’s civil society, diverse communities, women and young people. He also visited Sednaya prison near the capital, Syria’s most notoriously brutal facility…
“This is a clear example of what the underfunding of public services and precariousness mean when critical moments arrive,” Bergerot wrote on X, pointing out firefighters were asking for “basic materials like the vehicles to reach the areas that are burning and firefighting gear with which to work safely.” Avoiding Mazón’s mistake Ayuso’s decision to seek national support to address the crisis contrasts sharply with that taken by another People’s Party leader a year and a half ago. After massive floods hit the Spanish region of Valencia in October 2024, center-right regional President Carlos Mazón declined to request Sánchez’s government…
Published on 26/07/2026 – 15:29 GMT+2 A US-Russian space crew touched back down on Earth on Sunday following an eight-month mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS). NASA astronaut Chris Williams and Russian cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev landed safely in their Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft in Kazakhstan at around 3:27 pm local time, to the southeast of the city of Dzhezkazgan. According to NASA, the crew had spent the last 241 days in space, orbiting the Earth 3,856 times and travelling more than 102 million miles as they carried out scientific investigations aimed at helping “improve life on Earth”…
Police have issued an arrest warrant for Ballout, a 21-year-old German of Lebanese descent. Dobrindt said authorities are searching not only in the German capital, “but also at train stations, airports and Germany’s borders.” According to the minister, the suspect drove a van into the crowd on a path through Tiergarten park near the main Pride venue late Saturday before “allegedly” attacking people with a bladed weapon, “believed to be a machete,” seriously injuring several of them. Dobrindt confirmed details reported overnight that one woman was killed and 29 people injured, with some in serious or life-threatening condition. He said…
Over the course of the four-year war, Russian President Vladimir Putin has increasingly relied on North Korea to supply artillery shells and missiles. Bringing in North Korean troops is raising concerns about Moscow transferring its own military know-how to the regime of Kim Yong Un in Pyongyang. “Russia is helping North Korea learn how to wage war, improve its weapons, and gain real combat experience in using them,” Zelenskyy said. “All of this is a threat to everyone in Asia who is within range of North Korean missiles. We will counter this,” he said.
Welcome back. Of course, let me start with the most important news of the week: Spain won the World Cup. Surprised? Well, you shouldn’t be, because bad punditry aside (and there was plenty of it) it was the logical conclusion. Football is a team sport, and that’s something the Spanish have mastered, because it’s a system, a school of thought, that defines the game, not a star player. The coach can swap midfielders, you won’t notice it on the pitch because the structure remains: dominate passes, own the ball and ultimately score. There was something of poetic justice to it…
A Romanian fighter jet on Sunday shot down a third drone that had entered its national air space in as many days, prompting President Nicușor Dan to blame Moscow for the “inadmissible and intolerable” incursions. Sunday’s incident marked the latest escalation for the NATO member. The series of incursions comes as Russian attacks on Ukraine’s Danube region have increasingly spilled over the border. “It is inadmissible and intolerable for the Russian Federation to continue violating Romania’s airspace, which is, at the same time, NATO airspace and European Union airspace,” Dan said on Sunday.
