Trump's Russia stance stirs Europe; Vatican eyes Ukraine peace

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

Donald Trump refused to impose additional sanctions on Russia, sparking controversy among European leaders. According to the "New York Times," this decision is related to the desire to enable American businesses to cooperate with Russia.

European leaders suspect that Trump aims to normalise relations with Russia, which could lead to a rift in NATO.

President of the United States Donald Trump said 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 referred in this way 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," may 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 available for peace talks concerning Ukraine.

The Vatican could be a place for negotiations, highlighting the Holy See's commitment to the peace process.

According to American intelligence, Israel is preparing to attack Iranian nuclear facilities. However, it is unclear whether the decision to strike has already been made.

A potential Israeli attack could lead to an escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, which the USA seeks to avoid.
