If there is a willingness to negotiate, then Ukraine is ready to do so.

I have also made it clear once again that Europe belongs at that table. There can be no solution without Europe, only with Europe.

This concerns European security interests. It concerns Ukraine's future in Europe.

It must become clear over the next few days whether Russia is genuinely prepared to negotiate.

We see absolutely no substantial contribution toward getting serious negotiations underway.

If that changes, everyone is prepared to engage very constructively. But Russia has not demonstrated that so far.

I very much hope that Iran finally understands it must permanently abandon its uranium enrichment and nuclear weapons programs.

In this regard, we are pursuing the same political objective as the United States.

A Toluna Harris Interactive survey conducted November 3–5 puts Le Pen at 34–36% in the first round.

Mélenchon, leader of the far-left France Unbowed (LFI) party, is projected to reach the runoff in all five scenarios tested, securing 18–19% of the vote.

Le Pen is expected to defeat him comfortably in a second-round contest.

You cannot form a government with Hamas supporters.

You cannot fight Iran and its proxies if you depend on supporters of radical Islam inside the government.

Enough with boycotts. We need to unite forces to face the major challenges before us.

We will discuss it and, with God’s help, do what is necessary: a unity government.

Does anybody really believe that this “Election” was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong???

Some early voting “dumps” were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote.

It’s all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!

We must stand against hatred of Jews, regardless of whether it comes from the political fringes on the right or left, from the center of society or from Islamism.

Let us stand alongside people in everyday life who are degraded, excluded, insulted and attacked because they are Jewish.

Let us not remain silent, let us not downplay what is happening, let us not stand by and watch.

That is the lesson of November 9, 1938.

It is a great gift that Jews were able to regain trust in Germany over the decades following the Shoah.

And it is a great blessing that Jewish life has flourished again in so many cities and communities.

It saddens me — no, it makes me angry — that the number of antisemitic crimes has now reached a record high since the Hamas terrorist attack of October 7.

There are a lot of people I think unfairly criticizing the leader of the team.

There are a lot of staff infighting and questions about reshuffling.

I'm talking of course about the Ohio State Buckeyes.

I think our team is going to make an amazing turnaround here.

Kyiv faces a €70bn funding gap next year, with the EU pledging to cover about €45bn.

Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic have signalled opposition to further contributions.

Berlin also wants future Ukraine funding decisions to require a qualified majority rather than unanimity, reducing the risk of vetoes.

There are plenty of other important considerations in military life: ethics, logistics, administration, diplomacy. But all of them are in service of victory.

If our military fails to win our nation's war, none of the secondary virtues will matter. The republic does not survive to debate them.

The primary task of our senior service colleges like this one cannot be the passive transmission of credentials.

North Korean defector Yeonmi Park, a student at Columbia University years ago, said in an interview that even the propaganda in North Korea is not this nuts as Columbia University.

The only place more stridently ideological in one direction than Columbia or Harvard is Brown.
