Itâs been a week where Moscow got what it wanted. A 90-minute call between Trump and Putin ended with talk of visits and cooperationâand the real headline: no NATO future for Ukraine. Kyiv may never reclaim its lost borders, and as Putin steps in from the cold, Zelensky risks being frozen out. The EU warns of a dirty deal behind its back.
Then in Gaza, the truce nearly collapsed. Hamas delayed hostage releases, accusing Israel of violations. Then came Trumpâs ultimatum: free them all or âlet all hell break loose.â The militants dismissed the threats but stuck to the plan. Meanwhile, freed hostages reveal harrowing details of their captivityâstarvation, abuse, and fear.
Meanwhile, world leaders gathered in Paris for an AI summit. The message from U.S. Vice President JD Vance? No brakes, no fear, no overregulation. Macron warned of AIâs âWild Westâ dangers but made the most of the business opportunity. Safety concerns barely got a mention.
