Trump's Russia stance sparks EU outrage; Israel eyes Iran

• Donald Trump refused to impose sanctions on Russia, sparking controversy among European leaders.
• The Vatican is preparing for peace talks regarding Ukraine, highlighting the Holy See's involvement.
• Israel plans to attack Iran, which could escalate the conflict in the Middle East.

Donald Trump declined to impose additional sanctions on Russia, causing controversy among European leaders. According to the "New York Times," the decision is linked to Trump's intention to enable American businesses to cooperate with Russia.

European leaders suspect that Trump aims to normalize relations with Russia, potentially leading to a rift in NATO.

President of the United States Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that he is "not at all worried" about the strengthening of Russian forces near the border with Finland and Norway. He assured that both countries will be "very safe."

The President responded to recent reports from the "New York Times." The newspaper reported that the latest satellite images show the expansion of bases and military infrastructure near the border with Finland, which, according to the "NYT," might "reveal the Russian strategy for what will happen after the war in Ukraine."

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni confirmed that Pope Leo XIV agreed to make the Vatican a venue for peace talks concerning Ukraine.

The Vatican could be central to negotiations, underscoring the Holy See's commitment to the peace process.

According to American intelligence, Israel is preparing to attack Iranian nuclear facilities, although it remains unclear whether the decision to strike has been finalized.

A potential Israeli attack could escalate the conflict in the Middle East, something the USA seeks to avoid.
