We will not tolerate any violation.

This morning, the French Navy boarded an oil tanker coming from Russia, subject to international sanctions and suspected of flying a false flag.

The operation was conducted on the high seas in the Mediterranean, with the support of several of our allies. It was carried out in strict compliance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

A judicial investigation has been opened. The vessel has been diverted.

We are determined to uphold international law and to ensure the effective enforcement of sanctions.

The activities of the “shadow fleet” contribute to financing the war of aggression against Ukraine.

The topic of discussion was not disclosed "at the request of the American side".

European media and politicians are reacting with outrage to Trump's yesterday's statement concerning NATO partners "We’ve never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them. You know, they’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this or that. And they did – they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines." This is headline news in nearly all major media outlets throughout Europe.

Of the approximately 3,500 allied troops that died in the conflict slightly less than 2,500 were Americans. The UK lost 457 soldiers, while Denmark, with a population of around 5 million, lost more than 40 (a higher percentage per capita than the US).

Other members of the Trump administration have also made light of the sacrifices made by NATO allies in Afghanistan. In June, SECDEF Pete Hegseth joked that the ISAF acronym on their shoulder patches stood for "I Saw Americans Fighting."

US, Ukraine and Russia in first trilateral talks of the war

Ukrainian, United States and Russian negotiators began talks in the United Arab Emirates on Friday, marking the first known meeting to be attended by all three countries since Moscow’s full-scale invasion in 2022.

Moscow’s longstanding maximalist demands include Ukraine surrendering the entirety of these four regions, which it has annexed but not fully conquered.

Meetings will also take place on Saturday “if needed,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Friday.
 
President Zelensky, order the delegation in Abu Dhabi to return to Ukraine immediately. Ukraine cannot negotiate with terrorists who are killing our citizens. Trump will respect your principled position, and it will focus attention on ruzzia's slaughter during negotiations.

This isn’t news, this is that journalist’s opinion of what they think Zelensky should do.
