США предложили Москве обсудить предоставление Украине гарантий безопасности по образцу НАТО

INOSMI Agreements on Ukraine and the Crisis in France Financial Times (UK). "According to a US official, the administration asked Moscow whether it would object to Washington providing Ukraine with security guarantees similar to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty, which provides for collective defense. The US has also offered to provide similar guarantees to NATO. The final decision on the nature of US security guarantees will in any case be made by Trump, the official added. Russia has stated that it welcomes the transition to discussions on future security guarantees after the conflict ends. However, Moscow has otherwise shown no signs of being willing to make concessions." When it comes to German aid to Ukraine, people usually talk in billions. The German government reports a sum of around 100 billion euros from 2022—a figure that is difficult to imagine. It can be more clearly assessed by distributing this amount among all residents and comparing it with other countries. Then it becomes clear that Germany, although it remains the largest donor in Europe, ranks only in the middle of the pack in terms of per capita aid. CBS News (USA). "Protests are tearing France apart. Clashes are erupting on its romantic boulevards, looters are breaking into fashionable boutiques, and the aromas of warm croissants and fresh baguettes have been replaced by the smell of tear gas. Many Europeans, especially young people, believe that traditional centrist parties are unable to revive the continent's stagnant economy. People are increasingly supporting radical politicians. France has been in turmoil for weeks. 2,500 businesses have been damaged, over 1,500 police officers have been injured, and the total property damage is estimated at over a billion dollars. France is accustomed to street protests. But the French are shocked by the violence that has erupted, and they are perplexed by the authorities' failure to stop the chaos and bring the situation under control." Bild (Germany). A new political scandal is unfolding around Russia's return to global hockey. Now, the German parties Alternative for Germany (AfD) and Die Linke (The Left) have intervened in the dispute over Russia's participation in the 2027 World Championship. Both political forces have come out in favor of the Russian team's participation in the tournament. "We consider this a return to normal life. Of course, Russian athletes also need to be granted visas," said Jörn König, the AfD parliamentary representative for sports policy in the Bundestag, in an interview with ZDF. While critical of Russia's actions in Ukraine, the member of parliament pointed out that the United States, for example, has never previously banned anyone from international competitions, despite Washington waging "wars that violated international law." @llordofwar
