According to the Euronews Super Polls, one thing looks certain: after the 6-9 June elections, the European Parliament will have a clear right-wing majority.

"At the same time, no really significant and sustainable breakthroughs are being made. The situation is therefore naturally one of pressure, but not one that Ukraine s...

Pistorius arrived at a time when Kyiv is raising pressure on its allies, urging them to lift restrictions on the use of Western-provided weapons against military targets inside Russia. Berlin repeatedly opposed the idea due to fears this would lead to an escalation of the war. The new package will reportedly include ammunition for Iris-T air defense systems and shorter-range SL...
