The European Union on Saturday expressed its "grave concern" about the repercussion of the Israeli military operation against Palestinian militants in the northern West Bank. The 40-day offensive, which has mainly taken place in refugee neighbourhoods, has resulted in numerous deaths, the displacement of around 40,000 Palestinians from their homes, and the "destruction of vital civilian infrastructure," the EU statement said. EU concerned about ongoing Israeli military operation in West Bank The EU urged Israel to take firm action against settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and expressed concern about the growing number of army checkpoints in the West Bank which are restricting freedom of movement there and worsening the economic and humanitarian situation.

I don't think it was all agreed. Here is what the BBC says: Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said Ukraine would not sign the deal until Zelensky and Trump "agree on security guarantees" and decide on how to "tie this preliminary agreement" to a US security guarantee. Ukraine minerals deal: What we know so far - BBC News Trump had said that the presence of US workers on Ukrainian soil would provide "automatic security" but it seems that was too vague for Zelensky.

Trump constantly claims if he had been President in 2022, Putin would never have invaded Ukraine. Presumably he's implying Putin would have been deterred by USA threatening force , sanctions, etc on Russia. Well, why doesn't he do that now? Tell Putin to get out of Ukraine or else.

Donald no mates Trump.

Because Putin would get nuked back

1. Assist the collapse of the Russian economy The Russian economy is on the brink of collapse and Putin knows it | The Independent 2. Increase production of arms for Ukraine There's a big European meeting on Sunday, wait for results from that.

According to CNN US intel shows Russia and China are attempting to recruit disgruntled federal employees, sources say | CNN Politics Russia and China are focusing their efforts on recently fired employees with security clearances and probationary employees at risk of being terminated, who may have valuable information about US critical infrastructure and vital government bureaucracy, two of the sources said. It added that foreign intelligence officers were being directed to look for potential sources on LinkedIn, TikTok, RedNote and Reddit. The adversaries think the employees “are at their most vulnerable right now,” another of the sources said. “Out of a job, bitter about being fired, etc.”

Europe stands with Ukraine.

Russia does not want the rest of Ukraine, you say. Now what makes you say that?

Zelensky and his nation are fighting for their very existence. As he explained to Trump etc, Putin thinks Ukraine has no right to be. So what should he/ they do? Surrender and be subjugated, murdered, their children carted off to Russia as thousands have already been done in the east? No, they want to be free, as free as we are and for three years they have fought successfully to repel Russia and its murderous regime. So if Trump wants to claim to be a peace maker he must guarantee military hardware to back up the peace But he won't so there is no peace. Trump, this year's Neville Chamberlain, an appeaser who's morally bankrupt.

Zelensky told Laurel and Hardy no deal was possible without serious military backup due to Putin's utter duplicity. A fact every sane person knows. So Vance lost his rag behaving like a school bully whilst Donald remarked it was good television because that's as far as his attention goes, ' look at me!'. To the disgust of the rest of the Western world, Trump has aligned with Putin, the dictator and mass murderer. So be it, Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan will go our own way

Class? Trump? You mean the man who posts an AI video of himself plus gold statue on Gaza beach? The man's the very definition of lo-so.

Come on Rubio, live up to your former words. Resign

Where's Putin, is he there in the Oval Office? I heard a TASS reporter was removed from there today

A lot of people couldn't believe the way Trump and Vance behaved. Zelensky calmly explained the number of times Putin broke agreements and Vance goes ballistic behaving like the goon he is. A shame to see the American government behaving like football hooligans.

Nothing decent about caving in to the mass murderer, Putin.

Obama conducted a survey of the minerals during his tenure and concluded financially it wasn't worth extracting them.

Yes, a million times more than in Russia or China

Criticize Putin or his war in Russia and you're put in jail for years. Unlike the West. Vance talks nonsense.

Zelensky told them the truth, the West did nothing since 2014 as Putin has broken agreement after agreement. He can't be trusted. That riled the running dogs of American imperialism who barked accordingly.

Ii appreciate the benefits of UK residence, I was referring to the happiness factor. English people, and I'm one of them, like to moan ( blame the dreadful winter weather). In fact I think the weather has a lot to do with a level of happiness. In warm and tropical countries people can spend a lot of time outdoors, there's a happiness there imo, just being able to sit outside, enjoy nature, watch the world go by. But in cold climes, folks, especially the old, are trapped indoors, often leading to isolation and loneliness

Yes, we need to be back in the EU., we're European .
