cnn Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said that “emotions have run high today” after talks on the ongoing war in his country were held in London. He also shared a screenshot of former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s 2018 Crimea Declaration which rejected Russia’s occupation of the peninsula. “Ukraine will always act in accordance with its Constitution and we are absolutely sure that our partners — in particular the USA — will act in line with its strong decisions,” he said. A spokesperson from the United Kingdom’s foreign office said the talks were “productive and successful and significant progress was made on reaching a common position on next steps,” according to a statement.

Ovo je ubedljivo najnormalnija poruka Trumpa od ihahahaaa. Toliko normalna da mislim da mu je hakovan nalog. Ne vidim da preti bilo cime ili bilo kome, samo kaze - dogovorite se.

Al Jazeera Balkans Mirovni pregovori o Ukrajini, koji su bili zakazani za danas u Londonu i koje je trebao voditi britanski ministar vanjskih poslova David Lammy, odgođeni su, saopštilo je Ministarstvo vanjskih poslova Velike Britanije. U saopštenju Foreign officea navodi se da se “sastanak o mirovnim pregovorima o Ukrajini s ministrima vanjskih poslova zakazan za danas (srijeda) odgađa”, ali da će se razgovori na zvaničnom nivou nastaviti iza zatvorenih vrata, bez prisustva medija”, objavio je Guardian, a prenosi Tanjug. Ruski predsjednik Vladimir Putin ponudio je zaustavljanje invazije na Ukrajinu duž trenutne linije fronta u sklopu napora da se postigne mirovni sporazum s američkim predsjednikom Donaldom Trumpom, izvijestio je Financial Times, pozivajući se na ljude upoznate s tim pitanjem. Putin je Steveu Witkoffu rekao da bi Moskva mogla odustati od svojih zahtjeva za pripajanje područja četiriju djelomično okupiranih ukrajinskih regija koja su ostale pod kontrolom Kijeva, navodi se u izvještaju koje se poziva na tri osobe upoznate s razgovorima.

Ja nisam tako razumeo. Ne napusta nista, ali nece da nastavi da dalje osvaja 4 oblasti, nego linija razdvajanja ostaje tamo gde je sad linija fronta. A Krim trazi svakako da mu se prizna, na bbc kazu da ga prizna USA, na drugim izvorima kazu da trazi priznanje Zelenskog, odnosno Ukrajne.

Jel pitao neko Sarovica za komentar o susretu celnika SPC sa Putinom? Ne mogu da docekam da cujem sta bi izjavio.

Da dodam osecaj zadovoljstva na nalog sudije da zaustavi rasformiranje Glasa Americke, mada verujem da ce sudija narednih dana (verovatno i sati) biti podvrgnut mafijaskim pritiscima i pretnjama Vrhovnog Klovna da ce ga otpustiti/smeniti/najuriti. Sto se tice Hegsetha, njegov ostanak posle bezbedonsonih afera kakve bi dovele do nogobulja i na Farskim Ostrvima, samo pokazuje strukturu cirkuzanata koji okruzuju Vrhovnog Klovna. A ja se zaista plasim da bi eventualna smena dovela jos goreg 'strucnjaka' na tako bitnu pozociju.

Ali kako se u Kini smeskaju dok Trump kusa sve sto je uneredio proteklih nedelja, mora da im je toplo oko srca ovo plakanje da se 'my friend' Xi javi i sve ce biti u redu sa taksama. Pokajnicke suze predsednika su okrenule indekse na berzama u zeleno i u USA i u Aziji. Ne mogu a da ne ponovim, kakav klovn. Kroz parolu da ce uciniti Ameriku velikom, zapravo je ucinio nikad manjom. Posle samo par nedelja trgovinskog rata, sad vec na kolenima moli Xija za pregovore. Iskreno se nadam da ce ga Kinezi ostaviti da se jos malo krcka u tom sosu koji je sam zakuvao. Musk, kao i slicna gamad, dok ponovo najavljuje da se povlaci iz bitne uloge u administraciji, gleda kako da napusti ovaj brod ludaka koji ne vise sporo, koliko sigurno tone. Ali se iskreno nadam da mu niko nece oprostiti sve gluposti koje je poslednjih godina napravio.

bbc US President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and his Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, had been expected in London but they pulled out, sending Trump's Ukraine envoy, Gen Keith Kellogg, instead. On Tuesday evening Rubio spoke to UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy about what he hoped would be "substantive and good technical meetings". The US secretary of state said he would reschedule his trip to the UK in the coming months, posting on X: "I look forward to following up after the ongoing discussions." The White House said Witkoff would travel to Moscow this week for his fourth meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. All this comes amid reports in the Financial Times that Russia might be ready to halt its invasion along current front lines and give up some territorial ambitions in return for US recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea.

Izgleda da nema veze sa ratom, ali ipak bbc Explosions have taken place at a Russian ammunition depot east of Moscow, the country's defence ministry has said. The blasts occurred in an ammunition warehouse at a defence facility in the western Vladimir region on Tuesday. The site is believed to be a key ammunition storage site for the Russian army. Russia's military blamed the blast on ammunition which had detonated after the storage building caught fire due to a "violation of safety requirements". A state of emergency has been declared in the Kirzhach district and residents of nearby villages have been evacuated. Both Russian and Ukrainian media channels and Telegram accounts posted videos and pictures from the site, showing a raging blaze with metres-high flames and mushroom clouds from the explosion. In a statement, Russia's Ministry of Defence said: "[On Tuesday], as a result of a fire on the territory of a military unit in the Vladimir region, ammunition stored in a warehouse detonated. "The cause of the fire is a violation of safety requirements when working with explosive materials." It added that there had been no casualties. A commission has been set up to investigate the incident. The site is a facility in the 51st Arsenal of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate, some 130 kilometres (80 miles) north-east of the Russian capital, local media reported.

Nikome nije vise do sale, a cini mi se da ce uskoro da preimenuje i beautiful okean u Ocean of America. Samo da odluci koji od dva okeana na koje USA izlaze. Mozda bi dobra MAGA ideja bila da ima (beautiful) Eastern Ocean of America i (beautiful) Western Ocean of America.

bbc The US is forecast to be hit the hardest among advanced economies because of uncertainty caused by tariffs, the IMF says. Growth is now expected to be 1.8% this year, down from the IMF's estimate of 2.7% for the US in January.

Ne vidim nista toliko sporno ovde. Ukrajna zeli mir i zeli da se izvuce iz ruskog uticaja. Okupirane teritorije ostaju sto su i sada - okupirane, dok se stvari ne promene u medjunarodnoj areni. Kljucno je da EU (i USA, ako je moguce) ne podizu sankcije i nastave da slabe rusku drzavu, odnosno da ne priznaju okupirane teritorije kao deo Rusije. Hipoteticki razmisljam, da li bi Ukrajna pristala da prizna Krim kao ruski, ako bi im Rusija vratila nuklearno naoruzanje?

DW The Kremlin on Monday expressed "satisfaction" that the United States has ruled out Ukraine's potential future membership of NATO. Washington's Ukraine envoy General Keith Kellogg said on Sunday that membership of the western military alliance was "off the table" for Kyiv – something which US President Donald Trump says was a cause of the Russian invasion. US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that "hopefully" a deal can be struck "this week" without specifying what that arrangement would entail. "Both will then start to do big business with the United States of America, which is thriving, and make a fortune," he said. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Monday that the Kremlin will "analyze" proposals by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a 30-day halt on air strikes against civilian infrastructure. Putin said the proposal was "a subject for a thorough study, maybe also bilaterally," according to the Russian Interfax news agency. "So we will analyze all this and make an appropriate decision for the future," he said.

Sta znam, takav je period na frontu i u medjunarodnoj politici da Rusiji apsolutno ne odgovara mir sada. Opet, verujem da bi Putin bio zadovoljan da 9. maj doceka kao veliki pobednik i sa americkim priznanjem aneksije Krima. Ovaj ulazak amerikanaca u Zaporozje, odnosno nuklearnu elektranu, osim u onom tvitu, ne vidim da neko jos pominje. Ima otprilike milion stvari da se resi pre nego dodje do nekakvog mira. Cak nastavak rata deluje kao najverovatnija opcija, s tim da pojima nemamo da li USA onda ostaje snabdevac oruzjem i bezbedonosnim podacima, ili ce oruzje da zadrzi za sebe, a podatke prosledi Kremlju. Ukrajna je u prilicno jbnoj poziciji, Trump moze da ih ucenjuje kako mu padne na pamet. A provereno znamo da se radi o neuracunljivom, poludementnom narcisu, koji nema pojima uglavnom ni o cemu, ali voli za sve da se pita.

U sustini, verujem da bi obe strane to odbile bez da trepnu, ali opet ni jedna strana ne zeli prva da odbije i bude optuzena da je za nastavak rata. Zato za sada mudro cute, i cekaju one druge da se prvi izjasne. Videcemo sta ce biti na tom sastanku u Londonu.

cnn There has been no comment so far from Kyiv or Moscow on the US proposal. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed willingness to agree to a peace deal with Moscow but said last month that his government would not recognize any occupied territories as Russian, calling that a “red line.”

Sta sad? Bar 400% taksi Vatikanu i progon katolicke crkve i vernika iz USA?

Al Jazeera Balkans Broj stranih turista u Sjedinjenim Američkim Država prošlog je mjeseca bio 12 posto manji u poređenju s istim razdobljem prošle godine, objavio je Washington Post, navodeći podatke američke Uprave za međunarodnu trgovinu (ITA), prenosi Hina. Nakon smanjenja od dva posto u februaru, riječ je o prvom značajnom padu dolazaka od pandemije covida-19, objavile su novine. Nastavi li se ovaj trend, mogao bi značiti gubitke od više milijardi dolara za američku turističku industriju. Podaci za mart pokazuju 17-postotno smanjenje broja turista iz Zapadne Europe, 24-postotno onih iz Srednje Amerike i 11-postotno iz Kine. Turistički podaci još nisu potpuni jer nedostaju podaci iz susjednih zemalja Meksika i Kanade, objavio je list.

bbc "Russian artillery can still be heard in certain directions of the front, regardless of the Russian leader's promise of silence," he adds, noting that the situation "has become quieter" in some areas. Zelensky repeats that a proposal for a 30-day full and unconditional ceasefire "remains on the table" and says that Ukraine's actions are "symmetrical" to Russia's.

bbc A senior Ukrainian military officer has told the BBC that his unit and others received orders to stop firing at Russian positions minutes after an Easter ceasefire announced by Vladimir Putin was due to start. According to this officer, units were told to record photo and video evidence of violations of the truce, and to return fire if needed. The officer told the BBC that the announcement had “caught everyone by surprise” and that while most wanted a ceasefire, there was still confusion at the frontline about what it would entail.

Rubio je juce telefonski pricao i sa Lavrovim, mozda su nesto konkretno i dogovorili cnn “I want to update the prime minister on some of the negotiations between Russia, Ukraine, and also some of the things that have happened even in the past 24 hours,” Vance said in Rome at a bilateral meeting with Italy Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. “I think we have some interesting things to report on, of course, in private, some negotiations. I won’t prejudge them, but we do feel optimistic that we can hopefully bring this war, this very brutal war, to a close.”

Ako nastave da salju oruzje i opremu za koju je jos prosle godine odobren racun posle istorijskog prenemaganja, onda da, cak bi Ukrajni bilo u interesu da se ovaj mirovni proces ovako suspenduje dok Putin makar malo ne promeni pristup.

bbc The US will abandon trying to broker a Russia-Ukraine peace deal within days unless there are clear signs a truce can be reached, the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned. Rubio said the US wanted to help end the war but was willing to move on if there were no immediate signs of progress. "We're not going to continue with this endeavour for weeks and months on end," Rubio said, adding that the US had "other priorities to focus on".

Prosto covek ne zna gde vise uspeha ima Trumpova administracija, ekonomiji, unutrasnjoj ili spoljasnjoj politici, jednostavno svuda cveta cvece ovog proloca. cnn If Trump’s pledge to end the war in a day was far-fetched, the hope to secure a full truce by Easter – this weekend – also looks likely to fail. Russia has ramped up its strikes on Ukraine in recent weeks, despite Washington’s overtures to Moscow. The Center for Countering Disinformation, a Ukrainian think-tank, has pointed out that the supposed truce has done little to constrain Russia’s aggression. In the 22 days after the truce, the Russian army killed nearly 2.5 times more Ukrainians than during the same period before it was announced, the Center said in an update Tuesday.
