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.

cnn US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s international envoy, are set to meet Ukrainian officials in Paris at a summit Thursday aimed at bolstering Ukraine’s defenses against Russia’s unrelenting invasion.

CBS istrazivanje o ekonomiji i poverenja Trumpu, ide u ocekivanom pravcu

Just another day in the office for Mr False Claims cnn China’s dominance of the rare earths supply chain has emerged as among its most potent tools in a renewed trade war with the United States president. The minerals – used to power everything from iPhones to electric vehicles – are vital components for the kinds of advanced technology that will define the future. And unlike tariffs, it’s a front where Trump has little room to retaliate in kind. --- Shares of Boeing fell Tuesday following a report that China has halted the delivery of all its jets to airlines in the country as part of an escalating trade war that has enveloped the world’s two biggest economies. bbc Microchip maker Nvidia said it would be hit with $5.5bn (£4.2bn) in costs after the US government tightened export rules to China.

bbc A hairdresser from St Petersburg has been given a jail term of five years and two months on a charge of spreading fake news about the Russian army. Anna Alexandrova denied posting eight anti-war messages on social media, insisting the case was motivated by a squabble over land with a neighbour. Her neighbour told the BBC that she had complained to prosecutors after Alexandrova had sent her daughter pictures of the war in Ukraine. Discrediting the armed forces and intentionally spreading fake news about the military became a crime in Russia within weeks of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

Ova 'ekipa' na vlasti se vec obilno uneredila na sve istorijsko, da se ne vracam na Regana koji se 'prevrce u grobu'. Briga njih za istoriju i istorijsko, ako procene da im je to u interesu, sigurno ce to da urade.

Onomad je covek umro, tako da me vise ni to, nazalost, ne cudi

E, ovako je trebalo poceti petnaestog marta. Koliko je tad bilo energije i ushicenja, plasim se, neponovljivo.

Prizor iz Sumyja od juce. Ukrajna je po diktatu Donalda Trumpa bezuslovno prihvatila predlozeno primirje jos pre nekoliko nedelja. Od tada je ubijeno blizu 100 civila, ukljucujuci i decu.

Ovo je bas pateticno. Kako nema nikoga da mu kaze da ovo nije predizborna kampanja i da vise nema Joa Bidena, a da se njegova prica o tome da ce zaustaviti rat za 24 sata razbila u komadice pre vise meseci. Ni govora o tome da je zaustavio ubijanje vojnika (mladih, kao njegovi sinovi, da citiram), a broj civilnih zrtava se cak naglo povecao. Moralan covek bi priznao svoju nemoc i neuspeh, a zatim se povukao i pustio sposobnije da rade. But, Mr False Claims, ladies and gentlemen.

bbc Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has invited Donald Trump to visit his country ahead of any deal with Russia to end the war. "Please, before any kind of decisions, any kind of forms of negotiations, come to see people, civilians, warriors, hospitals, churches, children destroyed or dead," Zelensky said in an interview for CBS's 60 Minutes programme. The interview was recorded before a Russian missile hit the city of Sumy, killing 34 people and injuring 117 others.

CBS istrazivanje President Donald Trump’s approval ratings for handling the economy and inflation have dropped, according to a new poll from CBS News. • The economy and inflation: All told, 44% approve and 56% disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy, while only 40% approve and 60% disapprove on his handling of inflation. His approval numbers for both measures are down four points since late March. • Overall approval rating: This metric now stands at 47% in the CBS poll, down from 50% in March. • Who’s responsible? A majority, 54% see Trump’s policies as more responsible for the state of the economy than former President Joe Biden’s policies, with 21% saying Biden is more responsible and 20% that both bear equal responsibility. • State of the economy: A little over half (53%) say the economy is currently getting worse, and most see its current state as poor (59%). • Impact on Americans: About half of respondents, 49%, said Trump’s policies are making them financially worse off, more than double the 21% who say their finances are benefitting from his policies. Naravno, ova igranka sa taksama bi mogla da pokaze pravo lice vodje i nova krsenja zakona, mada sumnjam da ce MAGA to da dozvoli cnn Democrats ramped up their calls today for an investigation into whether President Donald Trump intentionally manipulated the market when he told Americans to invest right before announcing a 90-day pause on tariffs. “There’s enough smoke here that should demand congressional hearings,” New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” today. “These are real, legitimate, justifiable questions, and not to have hearings, not to do any kind of oversight undermines the faith we have in our government.” Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, pressed by CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” on whether she’s seen evidence of insider trading after she called on the Securities and Exchange Commission to investigate the issue, said “that’s what investigations are for.” “It’s entirely appropriate to have an investigation to make sure that Donald Trump, Donald Trump’s family, Donald Trump’s inner circle, didn’t get advanced information and trade on that information,” she said, pointing to her own bill banning trade on individual stocks for members of Congress, which she said has bipartisan support.
