cnn President Donald Trump said Friday he will give Russian President Vladimir Putin “a couple of weeks,” further extending his deadline for potential consequences against Moscow after urging the Russian leader to meet with his Ukrainian counterpart in hopes of ending the war. Asked by CNN’s Alayna Treene if there’s a possibility he does nothing if Putin doesn’t come to the table, Trump said, “We’ll see. I’ll see whose fault it is.” “If there are reasons why, I will understand that; I know exactly what I’m doing. We’re going to see whether or not they have a meeting, that will be interesting to see, and if they don’t, why didn’t they have a meeting? Because I told them to have a meeting,” Trump said. “But I’ll know in two weeks what I’m going to do,” Trump added, reprising a timeline he’s repeatedly issued to determine Putin’s willingness to end the war in Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said earlier on Friday that there were no plans for a meeting between the two leaders.

bbc Trump said the US was willing to help the Europeans "by air" if they provided boots on the ground in Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire or peace deal, although he ruled out deploying US troops. The US president, however, did not go into the specifics of whether such air support may entail intelligence or the use of fighter jets and war planes. Trump admitted the conflict was "a tough one" to solve and conceded it was possible the Russian president was not interested in ending hostilities. "We're going to find out about President Putin in the next couple of weeks," he said on Tuesday. "It's possible that he doesn't want to make a deal." Putin faced a "rough situation" if that were the case, Trump added, without offering any details.

bbc The head of the UK armed forces is travelling to the US today for detailed talks about American involvement in security guarantees. Sir Keir Starmer has tasked Chief of the Defence Staff Sir Tony Radakin with fleshing out details of measures to protect Ukraine in event of a peace deal.

lep i zanimljiv razgovor o EU i njenoj buducnosti, jeste da nije na pravoj temi, ali vredi o tome razmisljati i razgovarati. Sto se tice skupa u WH, ono koliko sam juce ispratio, cini mi se da su svi bili u nekoj egzaltaciji i odusevljeni 'istorijskim trenutkom', jedino su Merz (narocito) i Macron bili prilicno rezervisani i ozbiljni, kao da su jedva cekali da se zatvore vrata i pocnu ozbiljni pregovori. Videcemo danas sa cime ce da izadju.

bbc The Ukrainian air force says Russia launched 270 drones, five Iskander-M ballistic missiles and five cruise missiles, stating that the vast majority were intercepted.

U principu ne bi voleli da vidimo sta sve Rusija moze da uradi. Ali mozda se racuna na to da Ukrajna nece zeleti u NATO. Pre rata je,valjda, podrska clanstvu u Ukrajni bila ispod 30%, ali posle invazije je porasla na skoro 80%. Tako posle eventualnog mira, mozda opet padne podrska clanstvu, to se nikad ne zna.

Mozemo da odahnemo jer je ovog puta susret u Oval ofisu prosao mnogo bolje. Sta ce biti iza zatvorenih vrata, nisam ziv. Trump kaze da Putin ceka telefonski poziv posle sastanak i da se nada ce onda moci da potvrdi trilateral sastanak brzih dana.

Zapravo je Witkoff govorio o ovom drugom, da je Putin pristao na stacioniranje NATO trupa u okviru garancija. Ali Ukrajna ne moze u NATO.

bbc Volodymyr Zelensky says Moscow wants to "humiliate diplomatic efforts" ahead of talks with Donald Trump at the White House, as officials say 10 people are killed in Russian strikes across Ukraine.

bbc Zelensky calls this a "historic decision". "Security guarantees as a result of our joint work must be truly very practical and provide protection on land, in the air, and at sea, and must also be developed with Europe's participation," he writes.

Ovo je vec ozbiljna stvar bbc Donald Trump's special envoy says Vladimir Putin has agreed to "robust" security guarantees for Ukraine - including a potential Nato-style defence arrangement.

Evo i potvrda bbc Ursula von der Leyen and Friedrich Merz have confirmed their attendance. --- Finnish President Alexander Stubb has confirmed he will also be attending Monday's meeting at the White House with Zelensky and Trump. --- French President Emmanuel Macron is the latest European leader to announce he will be joining Volodymyr Zelensky in Washington DC on Monday.

Izgleda da se razmatra opcija da neko od evropskih lidera pravi drustvo Zelenskom u Washingtonu. Verovatno zele da izbegnu scenario od proslog puta. Trenutno se cini da je Starmer najblizi odluci da putuje.

Ne volim da savetujem lidere studentskog protesta, ali mislim da bi trebalo da se svi uzdrze od ovih okupljanja i pogotovo sukoba sa policijom. Umesto toga, trebalo bi da se krene sa agitovanjem za novi veliki protest prvog Septembra, da se pozovu prosvetni sindikati da skolsku godinu pocnu strajkom, da se apeluje da sve strane, da se blokira neka Autokomanda ili tako nesto bitno, i da nema odlaska dok se ne ispune zahtevi. A prvi zahtev - ostavka ministra policije, zatim direktora policije i svih komandanata odgovornih za policijsko nasilje. Onda biracki spisak i raspisivanje izbora.

DW The leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Germany will host a video call on Sunday involving the Ukrainian allies in a "coalition of the willing" to discuss steps toward peace, the French presidency said on Saturday. The meeting will be coordinated by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. The online gathering will come a day before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy travels to Washington, DC to meet Donald Trump after the latter's summit with Russia's Putin in Alaska.

Hvala. Dakle ima ingerencije koliko i ja u Danskoj ili Kambodzi.

Naravno da treba da cuti o necemu o cemu nema ingerencije, makar sa javne pozicije, a posebno ne sme da komentarise procese koji su u toku. Nego, pitam, sta se od nje tacno ocekuje?

Sta se tacno ocekuje od Laure i koje su njene ingerencije u Srbiji?

Ovog puta u Jedinstvenoj Rusiji, nikakav pakt nije garancija, jednom su se opekli.

U ponedeljak sa Zelenskim u Washingtonu. Posto ga je Putin lepo izvozao i izdiktirao mu uslove, sad bi da opet glumi alfa muzjaka u Oval ofisu. Ne sumnjam da ce i Vens biti tu da u svom maniru ponizava nekog kome nije ni do clanaka.

Rezultati je isti, kako kod okrenes. Nema tarifa, nema dogovora, nema nicega, samo crveni tepih na americkom tlu za diktatora i kasapina. Putin belezi jos jednu pobedu, Trump jos jedan poraz i bruku.

Ne znam, ali meni ni to vadjenje ne izgleda realno. Mozda je to bila ideja, mozda je tako izgledao dok se pripremao sastanak, ali sad kada je gotovo - a kad se vide rezultati - totalna propast USA diplomatije.

Ovakav utisak sam i ja stekao DW The Alaska summit between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin was a clear win for the latter, according to the former head of the Munich Security Conference, Wolfgang Ischinger. "Alaska: Putin got his red carpet with Trump, Trump nothing," Ischinger wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "As was to be feared: no cease-fire, no peace. No real progress — very clearly 1:0 for Putin — no new sanctions. For the Ukrainians: nothing. For Europe: profoundly disappointing," Ischinger added.
