Following his US trip, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy urged allies not to appease Russia, despite failing to secure long-range Tomahawk missiles. He called for decisive action from European and American partners amidst escalated Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure, leaving many without essential services. While Trump expressed optimism about a deal after a call with Putin, Moscow continued its offensive, intensifying strikes and claiming to have captured villages. Meanwhile, a drone strike on a Gazprom plant in Russia disrupted supplies from a Kazakh oil and gas field.

As the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize nears, Norwegian politicians are preparing for potential repercussions from the US should Donald Trump not be awarded the prize.

Concerns arise due to Trump’s history of expecting the prize and his volatile nature, with some speculating on possible retaliatory actions. While Trump has made efforts towards peace, his actions regarding international relations and democratic values conflict with the criteria for the Nobel Prize.

Russia fires 500 drones at Ukraine in a deadly overnight attack, as President Zelenskyy has stated, and the immediate reality is nothing short of devastating. The scale of the attack itself is chilling, a massive barrage of unmanned aerial vehicles unleashed upon a civilian population. The sheer number, 500 drones, paints a grim picture of the intensity and breadth of the assault, undoubtedly causing widespread destruction and, tragically, loss of life. The fact that it occurred overnight underscores the deliberate nature of the attack, designed to maximize impact and sow fear. The targeting of civilians, as the comments suggest, is a tragic pattern that repeats again and again.… Continue reading
Five countries block EU proposal to ban tourist visas for Russians, and it’s quite the story. It seems the European Union, or at least a good chunk of it, was considering slapping a ban on tourist visas for Russians. The aim, I suppose, was to put some pressure on the Kremlin, or maybe just to send a clear message. But, as often happens in the complex world of international relations, not everyone was on board.
Italy, Spain, France, and Hungary were the first to raise their hands and say “not so fast.” They joined Greece in opposing the restrictions. Now, I can’t help but wonder what drove these countries to take this stance.… Continue reading

In a speech to the U.N. General Assembly, Chinese Premier Li Qiang positioned China as a global leader, subtly criticizing the U.S.’s retreat from international cooperation. Li highlighted China’s commitment to global economic growth and addressing climate change, while also advocating for the United Nations. Experts believe this represents a shift in China’s foreign policy, aiming to reshape the world order to better align with its interests and values. Despite this, some analysts point out a disconnect between China’s rhetoric of multilateralism and its actions, particularly concerning its treatment of Hong Kong and its activities in the South China Sea.

Following President Petro’s criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza, the US revoked his visa, prompting a strong response from the Colombian leader. Petro condemned the move, arguing that the US was violating international law by punishing his denouncement of alleged genocide. Colombia’s foreign affairs ministry echoed these sentiments, criticizing the use of visa revocation as a diplomatic tool and the UN should find a neutral host country. This action marks a further deterioration in relations between Colombia and the United States, which have been strained by various disagreements, including Petro’s earlier actions blocking deportation flights and accusing US officials of coup plotting.

The US State Department revoked Colombian President Gustavo Petro’s visa following his remarks at a protest in New York City, where he urged US soldiers to disobey orders, and after he criticized former US President Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly. The State Department cited Petro’s “reckless and incendiary actions,” alleging he incited violence. Petro condemned the move, asserting it violated the immunity afforded to heads of state during UN proceedings, and questioned the US’s compliance with international law. Experts and officials also criticized the decision, with some suggesting it undermines the UN’s viability and potentially violates the 1947 Headquarters Agreement.

US to revoke Colombia President Petro’s visa over ‘reckless’ actions in New York. This whole situation feels like a powder keg ready to blow, doesn’t it? The US is reportedly going to yank President Petro’s visa, and it’s all thanks to some rather pointed comments he made while in New York for the UN General Assembly. Apparently, he told US soldiers to disobey their orders if they were instructed to fire on citizens, which is, to put it mildly, a bold move.
Let’s be real, the core issue here is that he’s essentially telling foreign military personnel not to follow their commander-in-chief’s orders while on foreign soil.… Continue reading
