In Short
Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky are in a heated exchange of criticisms over the Ukraine war, with Trump labelling Zelensky a ‘dictator’ and Zelensky accusing Trump of spreading disinformation. Amidst ongoing conflict and Russian attacks, Zelensky asserts Ukraine’s resilience and the importance of its involvement in negotiations.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump called Zelensky a ‘dictator’ after the Ukrainian leader accused him of spreading Russian disinformation regarding the conflict. This feud began following Trump’s claims that Zelensky was responsible for initiating the war, which started after Russia’s invasion three years prior.
Zelensky responded by insisting Trump was “living in this disinformation space” and urged for more truth from Trump’s administration. Trump countered by accusing Zelensky of mismanaging U.S. aid and failing to hold elections, while asserting that his popularity ratings were low. He suggested that Zelensky might lose his country if he did not take swift action.
Zelensky highlighted his actual approval rating, which is above 50%, and firmly denied Trump’s exaggerated claims about U.S. support. He expressed frustration over not being included in U.S.-Russia negotiations and reinforced that Ukraine’s future cannot be decided without its involvement.
Soldiers and civilians in Ukraine reacted strongly against Trump’s comments, reiterating that negotiations with Russia are impossible without victory on the battlefield. Recent Russian drone attacks have further strained Ukraine’s infrastructure, illustrating the ongoing challenges faced by the country

Macron stranded in NYC, amusingly calls Trump after police block his route for the motorcade. #Diplomacy #MacronVsProtocol
French President Emmanuel Macron found himself unexpectedly stranded in New York after addressing the United Nations, when police blocked his route to accommodate Donald Trump’s motorcade.
Macron, en route to the French embassy, was forced to pause in the street as the way forward remained closed.
In a moment of levity amid diplomatic protocol, Macron is said to have called Trump directly from the street, remarking on the absurdity of being held up because of his rival’s convoy.
The road eventually reopened — but only for pedestrians — leaving Macron to continue on foot while still engaged in the conversation.

Kamala Harris clarifies comments on rejecting Buttigieg as running mate amid criticism over implications of his sexuality.
Kamala Harris has been forced to clarify comments about why she did not choose Pete Buttigieg as her running mate, after critics accused her of suggesting his sexuality was a barrier.
Speaking in an interview with MSNBC, Harris initially rejected claims that Buttigieg’s sexuality influenced the decision, but later admitted she had considered the political risks given the tight timeline of just 107 days.
The remarks drew swift reactions, with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow saying it was “hard to hear” that Buttigieg might have been excluded because he is gay. Harris insisted the decision saddened her but was made with the stakes of the election in mind.
