French President Macron:

I want to reiterate my support for law enforcement, because these are very difficult moments for our police officers.

They face extreme violence, and nobody joins the police or gendarmerie to suffer attacks like those they experienced a few days ago from people who know only violence and disorder.

Elon Musk personally proposed slowing down Ukraine’s Starshield satellite system to Trump, who agreed, according to four sources cited by The Telegraph.

The restrictions capped Ukrainian drones at around 160 km/h, severely hampering their ability to intercept faster Russian drones and missiles.

Musk publicly blamed the White House, while Trump denied responsibility.

Q: Marine Le Pen has said that if she came to power, she would cut financial aid to Ukraine within six months.

Macron: If France, like all the other member states of the European Union, supports Ukraine, it is because we know that our security is at stake.

Anyone who tells the French people today, "We are going to save money because none of this is serious, we are going to stop supporting Ukraine," would immediately put France in an unprecedented position.

We would be the only ones no longer doing so. The only ones.

And we would be suggesting, in a way, that our security is worth very little.

French President Macron:

There is a constitutional right to demonstrate and express oneself. It is fully respected.

But what comes with that right is respect: respect for people, respect for property, and therefore not insulting people or destroying things.

I call for calm and respect in order to preserve this right.

Polish PM Donald Tusk:

There has never been such a unified position among practically all EU countries.

Even those who are less pro-Ukrainian, who sometimes show signs of weakness toward Putin, had no doubts that the next several months will be crucial, perhaps not only for the history and future of Ukraine, but for the whole of Europe.

Polish PM Donald Tusk:

Everyone was aware that, with this shift in President Trump's position on Ukraine and Russia, Europe should support Ukraine even more.

Not everyone does this because they love Ukraine. This is not about symbolic solidarity.

Many countries realize that if Ukraine falls, we will all have very, very serious problems.

Polish PM Donald Tusk:

Everyone expects an increase in Russian escalation and provocations on a larger scale.

Leaders also reported what is happening in their own countries, and these acts of sabotage and provocations, particularly in the Baltic states, are worrying.

Polish PM Donald Tusk:

In my conversation with Zelensky, I learned that winter has practically already arrived in Ukraine.

Not because the weather is wintry, but because there is almost no electricity anywhere.

There are problems with gas, so it gets cold at night. They are preparing for a very difficult winter.

Trump privately told White House aides that Katie Zacharia had “no talent” and should not appear on television, according to POLITICO.

He also personally urged her to reconsider her position. Zacharia is now out as White House press secretary after just five days.

Trump:

I would certainly love to have Putin at the G20.

I don’t know if he’s coming.

Trump makes his entrance at a rally in Georgia to The Undertaker’s theme music.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico:

It takes a real leader, a leader with backbone, who knows how to say no in the interests of his own country when others demand that we think and act like them.

That is why I support Aleksandar Vučić.

He does not allow anyone from abroad to rule Serbia, no matter how powerful they may be.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico:

Slovakia will continue to respect the territorial integrity of Serbia. When it comes to Kosovo, when it comes to Kosovo and Metohija, we will never let you down.

Aleksandar and Serbia will always have a sincere friend in Slovakia, one who will not be influenced by pressure.

Trump:

I don't think Jon Ossoff is a good-looking man. I think Mike Collins is a good-looking man.

And he's all man. I'm not sure about Ossoff.

Trump:

You ever see the prison in El Salvador? When we catch them, they say, "No, El Salvador! No, no, we don't want to go to El Salvador!"

That country is doing a tremendous job.

European Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius:

Americans will need to adapt to the reality that Pax Americana has come to an end.

The slogan "Make America Great Again" shows that natural nostalgia for the glorious times of American global leadership is already starting to play a more and more important role in American political and geopolitical mentality.

It will take time to overcome this psychological challenge.

Trump on Venezuela:

Venezuela has a strong military, but we hit them with fire and fury.

They didn't know what the hell happened.

European Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius:

What we are talking about is a European Defense Union as a broader geographical foundation for a new European defense architecture.

It includes not only EU member states, but also Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Norway and perhaps Canada.

And a European Security Council for effective decision-making.

This is how a new European defense architecture can be built.

Trump:

We are allowed to have big, strong, handsome soldiers now.

Trump:

We used to go in, bomb people, and then leave.

What the hell? We destroyed lives, it cost us a fortune, and we left.

What are we doing?
