European Commission Vice-President Kaja Kallas supports a €140 billion reparations loan to Ukraine, funded by frozen Russian assets, to demonstrate the EU’s commitment to supporting Ukraine through 2027. Despite concerns, particularly from Belgium, the loan aims to convert immobilized Russian assets into EU bonds for war efforts. Kallas emphasized the importance of a ceasefire, although Russia shows no indication of readiness, and reiterated that decisions regarding the war must involve EU and NATO members, especially in light of a US-backed peace plan that could directly impact these entities. The US plan is currently being negotiated to address unfavorable conditions.

Although experts have suggested suspending the RRC, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has chosen to take no disciplinary action.

Sen. Kelly says Pete Hegseth ‘totally unqualified’ after being bashed over display of medals, and frankly, it’s a statement that resonates pretty strongly with a lot of people. The entire situation, from Hegseth’s initial criticism to the subsequent reactions, has been quite a spectacle. It’s almost ironic how Hegseth, a figure known more for his commentary than his military service, took issue with the way Senator Kelly, a decorated astronaut and military veteran, displayed his medals. It’s like the AI itself is thinking, “Seriously, is this what we’re talking about?”
The core of the issue boils down to Hegseth’s critique of Kelly’s medals display, which many perceive as a minor detail, especially considering Kelly’s significant accomplishments.… Continue reading

This decision came even as the Pentagon had approved the transfer of the missiles, and despite Ukraine’s interest in leveraging the weapons.

High Representative Kaja Kallas has emphasized that any peace agreement should focus on limiting Russia’s military capabilities and budget to prevent future aggression. This contrasts with the initial US-led draft, which imposed restrictions on Ukraine. European leaders are now working to refine the deal to secure more favorable terms for Ukraine, including allowing them to determine the size of their own military. The EU is also prepared to offer substantial security guarantees, but the core issue remains Russia’s willingness to negotiate in good faith.

A case before the Supreme Court challenges the U.S. Postal Service’s exemption from lawsuits regarding lost or mishandled mail, stemming from a Texas landlord’s claim of deliberate mail withholding. The Postal Service argues a ruling against them could trigger a flood of litigation, particularly impacting the already busy holiday season. The central question is whether the postal exemption to the Federal Tort Claims Act applies when postal employees intentionally fail to deliver mail, with the lower court previously disagreeing with the exemption. A decision in the case is expected to be issued next year.
