On the sidelines of the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains and after meeting Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, US president Trump said that Moscow should make a deal to end its war with Kyiv. Have European leaders finally got Trump on side? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Seriously? Gavin and Jennifer Newsom are SURPRISED the feds are on to them? Listen as Gavin does a little 180 Rule and blames Trump for doing all the things he has been doing. Yawn. What a boring playbook. Jenny Newsom looks to get snarled in her own money mess too. And is anyone else curious about the $200 million money laundering op democrats were funneling through Ukraine with USAID for Joe Biden's re-election fund? Is THAT why Zelensky is now so eager to make a deal with Trump?

President Trump joins French President Macron in Evian for the G7 summit, where the two leaders announce a signed peace deal with Iran that fully prohibits nuclear weapons under strong policing powers. The Strait of Hormuz is already partially open with mine clearing underway and full reopening expected by Friday. Trump contrasts the new deal with Obama's JCPOA, recalling the infamous 1.7 billion dollar cash transfer to Iran loaded onto a Boeing aircraft, calling it a road to a nuclear weapon rather than away from one. Oil prices are plummeting and the stock market is hitting record highs in response. Macron also previews G7 discussions on Ukraine, with Zelensky set to arrive the next day, and ties the summit's location to the 1783 Paris Treaty ahead of America's 250th anniversary. Trump closes by congratulating a French heavyweight boxer who won at a White House event the night before.

2026-06-13 | UPDATES #213 | How Putin's regime ends: the Abramovich Kyiv mission, the Beria precedent and why a chasm is opening between Putin, reality and his elites. 10 June 2026 — the most strategically consequential diplomatic event of the spring of 2026 was held in a Kyiv residence on 21 may, was disclosed by Putin himself at SPIEF on 5 June, and has now re-written the Russian elite's decisional arithmetic. But we must ask, is Abramovich negotiating on behalf of Putin, or the elites that may increasingly be diverging from him, in terms of their perceived interests. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

For this week's Edition, William Moore is joined by the Spectator's commissioning editor Lara Brown, the columnist for the Wall Street Journal's Free Expression newsletter Louise Perry and the Telegraph journalist and presenter of Ukraine: The Latest Francis Dearnley.This week: Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has now gone on longer than the first world war and it shares much of the horrors of that war, from attrition warfare to substantial losses on both sides. So, with over half a million Russians estimated to be killed, could Putin and Zelensky be brought to an exhausted peace? 'No' is the pessimistic answer from Francis Dearnley this week, who explains that while it might appear to be stuck in a stalemate, casualties are still rising rapidly and Ukraine is currently in the strongest position it has been in for almost 18 months. This is in part due to advances in drone technology, of which Ukraine is now the world's leading 'superpower'. Drone technology has evolved so rapidly that Francis predicts ‘we are only a few months away from our first political assassination by drone'. What could bring the war to an end? And does British support for Ukraine remain strong?Also: one week out from the Makerfield by-election, what do we know of Andy Burnham's Cambridge days? Lara Brown reveals the ‘reassuringly bland' antics of the Northern lad – who could become Britain's first Prime Minister with an English Literature degree. Does it matter? And more importantly – will he win?Plus, they discuss: whether ‘two-tiering' or positive discrimination can ever be a good thing; if the new motherhood trend of ‘matrescence' is a con; and, as the World Cup kicks off – is it coming home?Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Day 1,565.As Russian forces reportedly withdraw from part of the southern Ukrainian frontline amid mounting supply problems, Francis and Dom examine claims that logistics networks in the sector are approaching breaking point. Dom reports on a huge explosion in Russia's Belgorod region and a car bomb in Moscow Oblast, as the war's effects continue to be felt far beyond the battlefield. Then they assess the EU's proposed 21st sanctions package, including plans to ban Russian military personnel from entering the bloc, and consider what a two-tier Europe – allowing some countries affiliate membership without full participation in all EU structures – would mean. Later, Ruben Stewart of the International Institute for Strategic Studies explores what a war between NATO and Russia might look like if the US were to withdraw from the alliance.Contributors:Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Dominic Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.With thanks to Ruben Stewart, Senior Fellow for Land Warfare at the International Institute for Strategic Studies.Producer: Phil AtkinsSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: James EnglandSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Een doorbraak in de oorlog in Oekraïne zal nog lang op zich laten wachten, dat zegt prof. dr. Hans van Koningsbrugge (RuG). Rusland bereidt zich namelijk juist voor op een strijd van de lange adem: met nieuwe rekrutering en een mogelijke, volledige mobilisatie. Bovendien kan Poetin, nu het Russische dodental tot in de honderdduizenden oploopt, niet meer uit het conflict stappen zonder enorm gezichtsverlies te lijden. Tegelijkertijd ziet Van Koningsbrugge dat Oekraïne steeds sterker staat. Zelensky's recente brief aan Poetin moet volgens hem niet worden gezien als een teken van zwakte, maar juist als een tactische zet. Oekraïne is strijdlustig, ontwikkelt steeds betere drones en weet Rusland op meerdere fronten onder druk te zetten. Hoe lang kan Rusland dit volhouden? Ontstaat er een oppositie tegen Poetin onder de elites? En welke rol moet Europa spelen nu Rusland zich instelt op een langdurige oorlog? De econoom die Van Koningsbrugge bedoelde, die zei dat Rusland niet was gestegen in de ranglijsten van gemiddelde inkomens tijdens de economische top in St. Petersburg, was Robert Nigmatulin.

Hoe bepaalt Oekraïne om te gaan onderhandelen? | Zuid-Korea en India als partner van Europa | Europese governance Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk schetsen hoe Oekraïne richting een staakt-het-vuren beweegt terwijl Vladimir Poetin blijft gokken op zijn lange adem. Zelensky wil de verliezen beperken en zoekt een tijdelijke wapenstilstand, terwijl het Kremlin geen politiek acceptabel resultaat heeft dat een compromis rechtvaardigt. De oorlog sleept zich voort, met patstellingen aan het front, een Russische raketregen en een Oekraïense krijgsmacht die rekrutering en luchtverdediging steeds moeilijker kan volhouden. Boekestijn en De Wijk analyseren hoe de Europese Unie worstelt met haar technologische afhankelijkheid van Amerikaanse Big Tech. Zuid-Korea, Japan en vooral India duiken op als strategische partners voor digitale infrastructuur, hightech en defensie, waarmee Europa zich geleidelijk loswerkt van de Verenigde Staten. Tegelijk toont de Oekraïense dronestrijd hoe cruciaal snelle innovatie en acceptatie van mislukking zijn voor moderne oorlogsvoering. De Europese defensiepolitiek botst met trage aanbestedingsregels en een fixatie op foutloze besteding van elke euro. Nationale veiligheid zou die regels al nu kunnen doorbreken, maar vergt politieke moed en een andere mindset over risico, startups en industriële politiek. In de slotanalyse plaatsen Boekestijn en De Wijk het ‘slappe’ Europese model tegenover autocratische macho-regimes en schetsen zij hoe juist samenwerking en democratie Europa op termijn geopolitieke voorsprong kunnen geven.

Day 1,564.After Vladimir Putin rejects President Zelensky's offer in his letter last week of face to face talks, claiming he doesn't need a ceasefire as he's on the verge of victory – plot spoiler, he does and he isn't – the political momentum in support of Kyiv continues, with the leaders of Ukraine, France and Germany in London for talks hosted by Britain's Prime Minister. Then Putin suffers another blow with a victory for the west-leaning incumbent leader in Armenia's election and there are more attacks on Putin's home city of St Petersburg, his beloved Sochi, and on one of the main bridges to Crimea.Contributors:Dom Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Francis Dearnley (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @FrancisDearnley on X.Producer: Rachel PorterSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: James EnglandSocial Producer: Tom SteedStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.

Opnieuw beschietingen tussen Israël en Iran | Trump en Netanyahu staan tegenover elkaar | Dynamiek in aan het front in Oekraïne De oorlog in het Midden-Oosten escaleert wanneer Israël en Iran elkaar voor het eerst sinds het bestand direct bestoken met raketten en drones. Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk duiden hoe Teheran via Hezbollah en de Houthi’s zijn netwerk van proxies activeert en tegelijk probeert een wig te drijven tussen Israël en de Verenigde Staten. Zij laten zien hoe Trump onder druk de Straat van Hormuz open wil krijgen, terwijl Netanyahu juist focust op het Iraanse raket- en nucleaire programma. Op het slagveld in Oekraïne beschrijven ze een stilstaande frontlijn met bloedige dynamiek, van Russische infiltraties bij Charkiv tot massale drone-aanvallen op raffinaderijen rond Sint-Petersburg en de Zwarte Zee. Zij bespreken de groeiende risico’s voor NAVO-landen door verdwaalde drones boven Letland en Moldavië, het nijpende tekort aan luchtverdediging en de pogingen van Zelensky om via Londen en Europese partners nieuwe wapendeals en gesprekssporen richting Vladimir Poetin te openen. In Europa schuift Armenië voorzichtig richting EU onder druk van Rusland en Azerbeidzjan, terwijl Frankrijk zijn eigen Command and Control-systeem test om minder afhankelijk te worden van het Amerikaanse Palantir en Maven. Aan het slot komt de verdeelde Europese aanpak van sancties tegen Israëlische kolonisten op de Westelijke Jordaanoever voorbij, waar vooral Spanje, Ierland, Nederland, België en Frankrijk aan de sanctieduim schroeven, terwijl andere lidstaten op de rem staan.

Die Financial Times het berig dat Roman Abramovich einde verlede maand stilweg na Kiëf gereis het. Abramovich, die voormalige eienaar van Chelsea FC wat sedert 2022 as 'n nie-amptelike agterkanaalbemiddelaar optree, het direk met president Volodymyr Zelensky vergader. Zelensky het Abramovich gevra om 'n privaat boodskap direk aan Putin oor te dra. Zelensky het met Yalda Hakim van Sky News daaroor gepraat tydens sy besoek aan Londen.

Russia still talks about the “Near Abroad” as if the map never changed, but the region is changing anyway. After a quick touch on Zelensky's open letter to Putin and the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, I dive into the relative trajectories of Armenia, currently at the polls, and Belarus, emphatically not. Despite its continued use of this problematic, imperialist term the "Near Abroad," in different ways, Moscow' is finding its influence fraying across the former Soviet space, and why the Kremlin is leaning harder on pressure, deniability, and narrative spin to compensate for a shrinking sphere of influence.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First—after more than four years of war, Volodymyr Zelensky has made his most direct appeal yet to Vladimir Putin, publicly calling for face-to-face negotiations. Putin says peace is possible, but is sticking to his maximalist demands while rebuking Zelensky's proposal to meet. Later in the show—a U.S. citizen pleads guilty to working as an agent for China. We'll look at the case, the alleged recruitment network behind it, and why it echoes warnings Western spy agencies issued just days ago.

We are now learning more about that devastating attack carried out by Russia on Ukraine on the night of June 2nd. NATO, the United States, and the Western media are trying to bury this story but we are not going to let them. According to CNN and the Western media, Russia launched ballistic missiles at civilian targets in response to all those schoolgirls that were killed by Ukraine a few weeks ago. You kill our civilians we'll kill yours. that was the narrative. Well that is simply a lie. That didn't happen at all.

C dans l'air du 5 juin 2026 - Ukraine : pourquoi Zelensky écrit-il à Poutine ?Un face à face pour mettre fin à la guerre. Le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky a proposé jeudi une rencontre à son homologue russe Vladimir Poutine dans une lettre ouverte, suggérant également un « cessez-le-feu complet » le temps de négocier pour mettre fin à la guerre. Cette séquence intervient alors que les frappes russes sur Kiev se sont intensifiées, tandis que l'Ukraine revendique des opérations en profondeur contre des cibles stratégiques russes. Dans ce contexte de surenchère militaire, Kiev cherche à apparaître en position d'initiative. Les autorités ukrainiennes multiplient les signaux de capacité de riposte. Côté russe, le pouvoir affiche sa détermination, mais fait face à une pression militaire, économique et diplomatique accrue, qui nourrit l'idée d'un Kremlin plus acculé qu'au début du conflit. Hier soir, Vladimir Poutine a même concédé quelques fragilités de son système de défense anti-aérien. Il a également envisagé d'étendre l'utilisation du missile balistique à portée intermédiaire (IRBM) Orechnik. De son côté, Donald Trump s'est dit « ravi » qu'une rencontre entre les présidents russe et ukrainien puisse avoir lieu, affirmant que les deux pays devront malgré tout faire des compromis. À Paris, un couple de Russes exilés, Aleksei Ishimov et Nadezhda Ishimova, raconte un parcours marqué par la peur et la séparation. Elle travaillait pour le QG de Alexei Navalny, figure de l'opposition au Kremlin, mort en prison en 2024. Contraints de fuir, ils ont traversé plusieurs pays avant d'être séparés aux États-Unis par les procédures migratoires, puis de se retrouver en France, où ils vivent aujourd'hui dans un village, loin de la répression du régime russe. Plus au nord, la Lettonie se vit en première ligne. Le gouvernement impose progressivement l'enseignement en letton dans les écoles, y compris dans les établissements russophones, pour limiter l'influence de Moscou. Une réforme sensible dans un pays où la minorité russophone est importante, et où les autorités redoutent toute instrumentalisation politique venue de Russie. Cette proposition de rencontre par Volodymyr Zelensky avec Vladimir Poutine peut-elle aboutir à une avancée majeure de la fin du conflit en Ukraine ? L'exil est-il devenu la seule alternative pour les figures critiques du régime en Russie ? À quel point la Russie est-elle influente en Lettonie ?

Day 1,558.Today, as more civilians across Ukraine are murdered by Russia in the latest mass aerial attack we look to the US for a response, given Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week that Russia planned only to strike Ukrainian "decision-making centers". We ask, again, when the United Nations is going to take a meaningful interest in the war, and look at the continuing diplomatic spat between Ukraine and Poland. And later, we examine possibly the most consequential election for Putin in years: this weekend's contest in Armenia and a, perhaps surprising, intervention by Donald Trump.Contributors: Dom Nicholls (Host on Ukraine: The Latest). @DomNicholls on X.Venetia Rainey (Telegraph journalist and host on Iran: The Latest). @venetiarainey on X.James Kilner (Russia Analyst). @Jkjourno on X.Producer: Phil AtkinsSenior Producer: Lilian FawcettVideo Producer: Sophie O'SullivanSocial Producer: Katie InglisStudio Director: Meghan SearleExecutive Editor: Francis DearnleyCreated by David KnowlesNOW IN FULL VIDEO WITH MAPS & BATTLEFIELD FOOTAGE:Every episode is now available on our YouTube channel shortly after the release of the audio version.
