Witkoff, who has traveled to meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Moscow on multiple occasions, just days ago told Fox News that the peace deal Russia has proposed hinges on “five territories of Ukraine.” The special envoy did not specify which territories he meant, but they likely refer to the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia illegally seized in 2014, as well as Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia — four regions where Russia conducted sham referendums before illegally annexing them, even though the Kremlin doesn’t fully control those territories. Kyiv will never recognize these regions as Russian, Ukraine’s foreign ministry said…

The EU has already paused its retaliation against Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs in the hopes of negotiating a deal within the three-month window, even as some of the U.S. tariffs remain in place. Earlier this month, French President Emmanuel Macron called on European companies to pause investments in the United States until the situation could be “clarified.” While most analysts attribute the investment-chilling uncertainty to the Trump administration and its nebulous trade goals, Arnault says it is the European Union that must shoulder the responsibility to find a deal that protects its interests without raising tariffs.

KYIV — China is providing weapons to Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, citing information from Ukraine’s intelligence and security services. Supplies include gunpowder and artillery, with Chinese enterprises working in Russia, he said at a press conference in Kyiv on Thursday, adding that Kyiv will provide more detailed information about the cooperation next week. Officially, China has claimed to be neutral in Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, calling for a “peaceful and diplomatic resolution of the conflict.” But in February 2022, shortly before the Kremlin launched its all-out assault, Moscow and Beijing announced a “no-limits partnership deal.”

U.K. ministers view next week’s two-day summit as an opportunity to showcase the Labour government’s commitment to its net zero climate goal, and its belief that phasing out fossil fuels and investing in renewables like wind and solar can forge a path to energy security. Von der Leyen is the most senior guest so far confirmed to be attending The event, hosted by U.K. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband and IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol, will be attended by energy ministers from IEA member countries.

“We are fully aware, especially in light of current tensions, of the need to increase such spending in the coming years,” he added. Italy spent 1.49 percent of its GDP on defense in 2024. It’s one of the few European countries, alongside Spain and Belgium, that still don’t meet NATO’s decade-old defense spending target of 2 percent of GDP. Belgium also announced earlier this month it would reach the goal this year. However, leaders are widely expected to raise that target to more than 3 percent during a NATO summit in The Hague in June. Meloni is, however, looking to…

A research from Debating Europe sought the views of 2,000 people aged between 18 and 35 from Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, and Poland between November 2024 and January 2025. The survey was conducted in the participants’ native languages to aid engagement and understanding.A small share of participants (7%…

Still, the average figure masks huge national divergences — with egg prices up by 46 percent in Czechia in March from a year earlier, by 30 percent in Slovakia and by 26 percent in Hungary. Prices fell by 3.6 percent in the Netherlands, by 3.2 percent in Luxembourg and by 2 percent in Greece. The U.S., meanwhile, continues to grapple with a major outbreak of avian influenza, or bird flu, which has forced the culling of millions of laying hens.
