Context is King. Here’s what’s happening:
Protests in Serbia Threaten Vučić
Over 100,000 people protested in Belgrade against President Vučić, upset over corruption and a deadly train station collapse. The demonstrations show widespread frustration with his leadership.
Protests in Hungary Threaten Another European Spring
Tens of thousands in Hungary rallied against Prime Minister Orbán, criticizing his policies and Russia ties.
The Trump Administration Ended Voice of America and Radio Free Europe
The Trump administration cut funding for Voice of America and Radio Free Europe, reducing their influence. This has sparked concerns about fighting disinformation globally.
Where Are the Pro-Ukraine Republicans?
Some Republicans who backed Ukraine aid are now quieter, signaling a shift in party priorities. This has fueled discussions about U.S. support in the Ukraine-Russia conflict.
Russia Has No Vote About European Peacekeepers in Ukraine
Russia objects to European peacekeepers in Ukraine, seeing it as conflict escalation.
Leaders like Macron back the idea to help stabilize the region.
How Russia Negotiates
Russia negotiates using military strength, energy resources, and diplomacy.
