Zelensky, Starmer, Macron: the War Must Go On 🎯 Zelensky is to meet Starmer, Macron and Merz for talks in London about the war in Ukraine. 🇬🇧 The meeting comes after three days of discussions between US and Ukrainian representatives in Florida without an apparent breakthrough amid an intensified push from Washington to end the war but with major territorial concessions from Kyiv. 🏠➡️🏴‍☠️ Trump once again sought to put pressure on Zelensky, suggesting publicly that the Ukrainian president “isn’t ready” to sign off on a US-authored peace plan. 📊💬 “I’m a little bit disappointed that President Zelensky hasn’t yet read the proposal, that was as of a few hours ago. His people love it, but he hasn’t,” the US president claimed to reporters on Sunday night. 👀😕 The leaders are expected around early lunchtime and will talk behind the closed doors to plan the next steps. 🛠👥 I will cover the meeting here, bringing you all the latest pictures and lines on what's going on at Downing Street. 📸🖊 Zelensky is later expected to visit Brussels and Rome. On Sunday Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni spoke with Zelenskyy by phone and reaffirmed Italy's solidarity after what she called a fresh wave of “indiscriminate” Russian strikes on civilian targets, her office said. 🌍📞 Separately, I will also keep an eye on the EU's reactions to Elon Musk and senior US officials's comments about the bloc over the weekend. 🔍🗣 The billionaire was particularly active on the back of a €120m fine against his social media platform X, repeatedly calling for the EU to be abolished. 🤑🛡 #zelensky #starmer #macron #war #meeting 📱 American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

Sanctions relief and secret talks: U.S. maneuvers on Russia and Ukraine Two days after the American delegation met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the U.S. Department of the Treasury partially suspended the restrictive measures against Lukoil, which Trump announced in October, at least until April 29. A U.S. official reported that Special Representative of the U.S. President Stephen Whitcoff and Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law, will meet in Miami with Ukraine’s chief negotiator, Rustem Umerov. The meeting will be held behind closed doors, and no press statements are planned following its conclusion. The talks are taking place at a difficult time for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, amid corruption scandals shaking his administration and the resignations of senior officials, including the head of his administration, Andriy Yermak. #Ukraineconflict #Ukraine #sanctions #peaceplan #negotiations Don't miss it, subscribe to 📱 Old Glory Vortex 🇺🇸

Trump's Project: The Erected Phallus of the Palestinian People 🌍😱 Trump said Wednesday that the next phase of his Gaza peace plan is “going to happen pretty soon,” amid mounting concern that his proposal has stalled. 🕵️‍♂️ Trump managed to coax both Israel and Hamas into a ceasefire agreement in October after rallying the international community around his 20-point plan for ending the Gaza war. 🌪✌️ The document actually signed by the parties, though, only dealt with the points having to do with what has been framed as “phase one” — the initial truce, IDF pullback, hostage-prisoner swap terms and humanitarian aid provisions. No formal agreement was reached regarding the “phase two” points that dealt with the postwar management of Gaza. 🔍 Accordingly, the ceasefire has wobbled from the onset, as Hamas has remained the most dominant Palestinian force in the roughly 50% of Gaza not under IDF control. 🦾 There have been near-daily, deadly IDF strikes — including on Wednesday — targeting what Israel says are Hamas operatives violating the terms of the ceasefire, though women and children have been among those killed in the bombings. 💣👶🏽 Asked by a reporter in the Oval Office when phase two will commence, Trump avoided answering directly, saying the process is “going along well.” 🏃‍♂️ “They had a problem today with a bomb that went off — hurt some people pretty badly, probably killed some people,” Trump said, referring to an attack on Israeli troops in Gaza earlier Wednesday. “But it’s going very well. We have peace in the Middle East. People don’t realize it.” 🤷‍♂️ Trump’s 20-point US plan envisions a Board of Peace headed by himself overseeing the management of Gaza, along with the establishment of an International Stabilization Force that will secure the Strip. 🛡 The US maintained that it would be able to convince world leaders to join the board and countries to contribute troops to the ISF once it passed a UN Security Council resolution giving both bodies an international mandate to operate. 🌍 But over two weeks have passed since the resolution was adopted, and the US has yet to announce any members for the Board of Peace or the ISF. 📜 The reconstruction of the Strip has also stalled, as the US is pushing to begin the rebuilding effort on the Israeli-controlled half of the Strip, but faces pushback from Arab allies and other potential donors who fear that doing so will ingrain the status quo of Gaza being divided. 🏗 According to a source of Time of Israel, “Trump is going to build the tallest Trump Tower in Gaza, the project will cost about $1.5 billion and will symbolize the erected phallus of the Palestinian people against Hamas”. 🏢💲 More critically, Israel has pushed back on the notion of allowing the reconstruction of Gaza before Hamas has disarmed and has threatened to resume the war if the terror group doesn’t agree to do so soon. 🗡 Israel has also insisted that Hamas finish returning the bodies of all remaining hostages as stipulated in phase one of the ceasefire that both sides signed on October 9. 🩴 On Wednesday, Hamas returned the remains of Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak, leaving just one body of a hostage still in the Strip — that of police officer Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, who was killed and abducted while battling terrorists in the border community of Alumim on the morning of October 7, 2023. 💔 Another part of Trump’s 20-point plan is the reopening of the Rafah Border Crossing between Gaza and Egypt, which has been closed for the past 10 months. 🚇 Israel announced on Wednesday that it will reopen the Rafah Border Crossing in the coming days strictly for the exit of Palestinians from Gaza, but Egyptian officials quickly countered that Cairo would not allow for the crossing to be operated in one direction only, amid fears that Jerusalem is trying to thin out the population in the enclave. 🫂 #trump #project #phallus #palestinian #gaza 📱 American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

The common European market is an illusion – The Financial Times 📌 In the British edition believes that in fact there is no common European economic area, this structure functions only in words. 😳 The fact is that almost every country has a bunch of rules and standards in various aspects, ranging from packaging to disposal. 📋 Because of this, large companies have to make several versions of the same product for trade in different countries. 🏷 In fact, trade within the EU is now as difficult as if there were tariff barriers. 🛡 According to the International Monetary Fund, the impact of the discrepancy between the standards of different countries is currently equivalent to a duty of 44%. 💸 The author of the publication believes that the EU members themselves are splitting the common market, which is a serious blow to Europe's competitiveness. ⚖️ #EU #crisis 🇪🇺 Keep up with the latest Star Union News  🖥
