Donald Trump claims he can end the war in Ukraine—but the optics and timing of recent events tell a far more troubling story. As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to Florida for critical peace talks, Trump publicly highlighted a phone call with Vladimir Putin, positioning himself as the central power broker while Russia escalated threats and spread disinformation. In this video, we break down how Russia's sudden claim of a foiled drone attack on Putin's residence fits a familiar pattern of information warfare, why Zelenskyy has warned of imminent strikes on Kyiv's government buildings, and how Trump's personalized, optics-driven diplomacy risks pressuring Ukraine rather than confronting Russian aggression. Independent media has never been more important.

C dans l'air l'invité du 29 décembre 2025 avec Fabrice Leggeri, eurodéputé Rassemblement national.Dans une interview accordée hier à La Tribune dimanche, Marine Le Pen estime que Jordan Bardella "peut gagner" à sa place. Malgré sa situation judiciaire, elle « ne pense pas pouvoir quitter le combat » mais juge qu'avec le président du RN, « l'avenir de la France est assuré ». Elle sera jugée en appel du 13 janvier au 12 février dans l'affaire des assistants parlementaires européens du FN. En première instance, le tribunal correctionnel de Paris l'a condamnée à quatre ans d'emprisonnement dont deux ferme, 100 000 euros d'amende et une peine d'inéligibilité de cinq ans avec exécution immédiate qui hypothèque sérieusement ses chances de concourir une nouvelle fois pour l'Élysée.Dans l'actualité internationale, Donald Trump a assuré que Kiev et Moscou se rapprochaient d'une solution sur le statut du Donbass et que «de nombreux progrès» ont été réalisés, à l'issue de sa rencontre avec Zelensky, ce dimanche, en Floride. Il rencontrera les Européens en janvier. De son côté, Emmanuel Macron réunira la Coalition des volontaires à Paris début janvier, afin de finaliser les contributions concrètes de chaque pays. «Nous progressons sur les garanties de sécurité qui seront essentielles à l'instauration d'une paix juste et durable» en Ukraine, a-t-il déclaré après avoir assisté à la visioconférence entre Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelensky et les Européens. «J'ai ensuite parlé avec Zelensky», a-t-il ajouté.

Mosca accusa le forze armate ucraine di aver attaccato una delle residenze di Putin con 91 droni, fatto che costringerebbe la Russia a rivedere le strategie negoziali. Il punto di Giuseppe D'Amato.

European leaders discussed the ongoing situation in Ukraine this morning after Russian President Vladimir Putin alleged that Kyiv had launched a drone attack on one of his residences, an allegation Kyiv denied. Jenny Mathers, Senior Lecturer in the Department of International Politics at Aberystwyth University, told Fiona what we know so far.

On today's podcast: 1) President Trump’s campaign to end the war in Ukraine faced new complications on Monday when Russian President Vladimir Putin said he would revise his country’s negotiating position after the Russian leader claimed Ukrainian drones targeted his residence. Putin told Trump of his decision in a call Monday, according to the Kremlin, even as Kyiv cast the Russian allegations as a fabrication aimed at derailing the peace process. Trump addressed the dispute while speaking to reporters in Florida, saying that Putin had told him about the purported attack during their discussion. The US president, seeming to side with Putin, said he was “very angry.” 2) President Trump expressed concern that Iran is moving to rebuild its nuclear capabilities and bolster its ballistic missile program after strikes by the US and Israel earlier this year, and threatened to target the country again to prevent Tehran from stockpiling weapons. “Now I hear that Iran is trying to build up again, and if they are we are going to have to knock them down,” Trump said Monday at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida as he met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The president also said he would support Israel in strikes if Iran continued with its ballistic missile program, which Netanyahu highlighted earlier this year as “existential” threat along with Tehran’s nuclear development. 3) President Trump said the US struck a facility inside Venezuela, in what would be a significant escalation in its campaign against alleged drug trafficking operations there. Trump’s reference to an attack within Venezuela would mark the first time the US has announced a land strike in the country. The administration has raised pressure on the government of Nicolas Maduro by bombing boats in the region and implementing a blockade to disrupt the country’s oil exports. Separately, the US carried out another strike on an alleged drug boat in international waters on Monday, US Southern Command announced on X, sharing a 22-second video showing a vessel being destroyed in a fiery explosion.

As a horrified nation watches the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Trump and his cronies continue to praise Vladimir Putin causing condemnation and consternation as a majority of Americans are shocked by images of destruction from Kyiv. But Democratic operatives believe their bellicose cheering to be “manna from heaven”; showing Trump and the GOP to truly be the party of fascist dictators. Later Glenn Kirschner joins Mea Culpa to discuss how there's real blood in the water for Donald Trump and believes his days are finally numbered.

Presidents Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky say there's been progress in talks over the Russia-Ukraine war, but difficult issues remain unresolved, including whether Kyiv should give up territory. President Trump said they would know in a few weeks whether a deal is possible. Also: China announces fresh war games around Taiwan. It will practice deterring anyone coming to the island's defence. Myanmar's military is desperate for the country's first general election in five years to be a success, but critics say it's a sham. We look at how Pope Leo is making his mark.

THEATER, BATTLESHIPS, AND THE ILLUSION OF AMERICAN POWER Colleagues Gaius and Germanicus, Friends of History Debating Society, Londinium, 91 AD. Gaius and Germanicus discuss the theatrical nature of American imperial power under Donald Trump, positing that the administration utilizes military displays—such as missile strikes on empty targets in Nigeria or Venezuela—as symbolic rituals to assert authority without risking the failure associated with actual combat. Germanicus argues that Trump possesses the insight that "theater is the best way to assert American authority," drawing a parallel to Reagan's "Star Wars" initiative, which defeated the Soviets through the illusion of technological superiority rather than its reality. They debate the strategic utility of battleships; while Trump envisions massive vessels for their psychological hold on the "collective imagination," Germanicus predicts the construction of guided missile cruisers that merely project that image of invincibility. The conversation shifts to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, where Germanicus characterizes the Kyiv government as a "gangster racket" protracting the war for financial gain while Russia solidifies its military reputation. They conclude that the US is transitioning into a phase of empire relying on "demonstration and display" to maintain global dominance, warning that an actual military defeat could be a fatal blow to the system.

C dans l'air du 29 décembre 2025 - Trump : ses plans pour l'Ukraine... et le GroenlandDonald Trump est-il près du but ? Le président américain a estimé, dimanche 28 décembre, être plus près que jamais d'un accord de paix en Ukraine, après une rencontre en Floride avec Volodymyr Zelensky et un entretien téléphonique avec Vladimir Poutine. De « grandes avancées » ont été réalisées, s'est de son côté félicité le président ukrainien à l'issue de cette rencontre. Ainsi, Volodymyr Zelensky l'a affirmé face à un parterre de journalistes : « 90 % » du plan de paix en vingt points a été « approuvé ».Le projet d'accord a été retravaillé ces dernières semaines par la Maison-Blanche, après d'âpres négociations réclamées par Kiev et les pays européens, qui jugeaient la première version, dévoilée fin novembre, beaucoup trop proche des revendications russes. Le nouveau plan de paix devra désormais être soumis à un référendum en Ukraine, a annoncé Volodymyr Zelensky au média RBK. Mais avant d'en arriver là, plusieurs points cruciaux restent en suspens.La question des territoires est toujours au centre des discussions, notamment le Donbass. La gestion de la centrale de Zaporijjia demeure un sujet majeur, ainsi que les garanties de sécurité. Sur ce dernier point, Volodymyr Zelensky a évoqué des « garanties de sécurité » pour l'Ukraine, « approuvées » pour certaines et « presque approuvées » pour d'autres. « Il y aura des garanties de sécurité. Elles seront fortes. Et les pays européens sont très impliqués », a de son côté assuré le président américain. Emmanuel Macron a d'ailleurs annoncé ce lundi une réunion des alliés de Kiev à Paris début janvier, autour de cette question.Au même moment, Volodymyr Zelensky a estimé, lors d'une conférence de presse en ligne, que « le plan (de paix) devra être signé par quatre parties : l'Ukraine, l'Europe, l'Amérique et la Russie ». Le dirigeant en a aussi profité pour critiquer Vladimir Poutine, dont les agissements, via l'armée russe en Ukraine, ne correspondent pas à ses propos « pacifiques » tenus auprès de Donald Trump.Parallèlement, Donald Trump continue de s'en prendre à l'Europe. Après les propos de J.D. Vance sur la « menace » nucléaire de Paris, l'interdiction de séjour de Thierry Breton aux États-Unis et la nomination du gouverneur de la Louisiane, Jeff Landry, au poste d'« envoyé spécial au Groenland », l'hostilité de l'administration Trump envers l'Union européenne franchit un nouveau cap en cette fin d'année 2025. Entre sa bienveillance à l'égard de la Russie, ses taxes imposées aux pays de l'UE et sa nouvelle stratégie de sécurité nationale, la nation dirigée par Donald Trump ne cache plus son basculement. Et les Européens sont divisés sur la manière de réagir.Alors, un accord de paix en Ukraine est-il proche ? Quel est l'avenir des relations transatlantiques ?

As we look back at our international reporters' most memorable stories of the last year we revisit a story about a Ukrainian youth orchestra.  Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022, the country has been hit with more than 50,000 drone strikes. The constant threats of war have changed many things about life in Ukraine, including the way the night time sounds. We meet members of a youth orchestra outside Kyiv who are marking the new sounds of their country with a sonic poem.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

This edition of Crosstalk began with good news as Jim read Christmas messages from President Trump and Packer great, Brett Favre. However, as we all realize, we live in a world in flux. This is seen by the following headlines, just a sample of what Jim presented during this broadcast: --Authorities say one-third of Kiev is without heating after a deadly Russian drone and missile attack on the Ukrainian capital cut off power supplies leaving hundreds of thousands of people facing freezing temperatures. --President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a joint press conference at Mar-a-Lago following their meeting over a proposed peace deal. Both men signaled that an agreement to end the war was nearing finalization. --Washington has offered a 15 year security guarantee to Kiev as part of a proposed peace plan. --Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida today for a meeting with President Trump to discuss phase two of the Gaza peace plan. --China launched its largest military exercises ever around Taiwan, surrounding the island with warships, aircraft and live fire drills. This was in response to a record U.S. arms sales deal to Taipei. --President Trump said the U.S. launched a powerful and deadly strike against forces of the Islamic State Group in Nigeria, after spending weeks accusing the West African nation's government of failing to rein-in the targeting of Christians. --Antisemitic mobs stormed a Paris performance of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, throwing bombs and attacking attendants and musicians.

Russia is accusing Ukraine of targeting Vladimir Putin's residence, throwing doubt on the progress achieved in reaching a peace deal with Kyiv.And: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets US President Donald Trump in Florida. The Gaza ceasefire deal is the focus of the talks.Also: A deadly year on Alberta's roads. Calgary's fatal crashes hit a ten-year high.

//The Wire//2300Z December 27, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: USA CONDUCTS CRUISE MISSILE STRIKES IN NIGERIA. SOMALI FRAUD IN MINNESOTA EXPANDS IN SCOPE. RUSSIA STRIKES KIEV AFTER UKRAINE ASSASSINATES GENERAL IN MOSCOW. SERIAL DRIVE-BY SHOOTER ARRESTED IN AUSTIN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events-Ukraine: Over the past few days Russia has responded to the Ukrainian targeting of a Russian General in Moscow, by conducting strikes of their own in Kiev. LTG Fanil Sarvarov was assassinated via an explosive device that was placed inside his vehicle outside his apartment in Moscow.Analyst Comment: Before his death, LTG Sarvarov was the leader of Russia's Operational Training Directorate for the General Staff. The strikes in Kiev are not exactly good news for the peace process, but neither is an assassination of a General in Moscow, so this tit-for-tat targeting is mostly a wash.Nigeria: The Pentagon conducted missile strikes in the Islamic State-held northwestern territories of the nation on Christmas Day. The strikes were carried out on known Islamic State training camps and facilities, which have been legendary for carrying out exploitation, kidnapping, and terrorist attacks around the nation. Local Nigerian officials stated that the US carried out strikes in the Sokoto district, targeting the sub-group referred to as Islamic State-Sahel Province (ISSP).Analyst Comment: The rampant insurgencies carried out by the Islamic State throughout the entire Sahel region are by no means a new conflict, and Nigeria specifically has been host to kidnapping/ransom-style attacks on populated villages for several decades. In short, various ethnic cleansing and genocide operations have become regular and routine throughout the region over the past few centuries, but more recently have come to a head as insurgents consolidate power around the continent. As a reminder, a major scandal emerged back in 2024, when the government of Nigeria adopted a very hostile tone towards the United States, forcing the abandonment (allegedly) of Air Base 101 and 201 (in Niamey and Agadez, respectively), which were bases used by the US to target the Islamic State militants that Nigeria is now having to deal with. In the past year that the US has had a reduced role throughout the region, it would seem that Nigeria would like some more American missiles.These recent strikes were significant, but conflicts in Africa do not often abide by the universally understood ways of warfare in the west. As such, whether or not these strikes actually did anything is anyone's guess; erasing a map grid square which previously held a significant training camp surely would have resulted in some level of setback for militants, however only time will tell if this effort will reduce the capabilities of insurgent groups in the region.Of note, the technical details of the strikes are contradictory between the various agencies involved. For instance, Nigerian officials state that the strikes were carried out by MQ-9 Reaper drones, however the Pentagon published a video of (likely Tomahawk) missiles being launched from an unnamed Arleigh Burke-class Destroyer. This doesn't necessarily mean much, as it's very doubtful that the US told Nigeria anything about the strike beyond very basic details. However, this does bring into question exactly what intelligence was used to conduct the strikes. USAFRICOM has had a counter-insurgency mission throughout the continent for decades, so it's not out of the question for the US to carry out strikes without Nigeria's help at all (which is probably for the best). After all, Islamic State training camps aren't exactly hard to find. However, the Nigerian government has serious incentive to feed the US bad intel which results in bad strikes. Throughout the third world, one of the biggest complications for targeting are local sources providing "tips" on "insurg

December, 28 2025, 9AM; The meeting comes at a critical moment as Kiev is currently recovering from a deadly assault on the nation's capital. Zelenskyy said the city was hit by roughly 40 missiles and five-hundred drones and slammed Russia over the strikes in a post on social media. He further accused Russian representatives of engaging in lengthy peace talks, but said in reality, their drone and missile strikes speak for them.

The U.S. military launched a series of airstrikes against ISIS terrorists in Nigeria on Christmas Day. The strikes followed reports that the terrorist group has been killing Christians in the country. The U.S. says the operation was carried out at the request of the Nigerian government, which described the strikes as a “joint operation” targeting terrorists.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he is set to meet with President Trump in Florida on Sunday. According to Kyiv, the latest peace deal is “90 percent ready,” even as fighting continues.A powerful storm system triggered catastrophic flooding across California during the Christmas holiday, killing at least three people. Entire neighborhoods were submerged, prompting water rescues, with more dangerous weather still ahead.
