The EU has celebrated Europe Day, with leaders using the occasion to express their solidarity with Ukraine

Recently re-elected French President Emmanuel Macron says he is in favour of a ‘new type of European community’ one that would allow countries outside the Union to join in on ‘European core values’.

Speaking to the European Parliament, Macron says nations like Britain and Ukraine could join in on this, and believes his victory at the polls was a clear indication France wants more Europe.

But when it comes to Ukraine’s bid to join the Bloc, the French President cautioned this will take ‘several years’, and there needs to be a short-term solution.

So instead of lowering the entry requirements for countries who aspire to join the Union, Macron says a “European political community” would be open to democratic European nations who adhere to the Bloc’s core values.

These values would include areas like political cooperation and security, as well as cooperation in energy, transport and investment of infrastructure.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also addressed her colleagues, using a speech to express the EU’s commitment to Ukraine’s independent future.

Von der Leyen says Europe’s image of unity is far more powerful than any military parade in Moscow.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.

The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.

Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.

Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
