The view from Kyiv after President Trump made a deal with the Kremlin to release Russian diesel into global energy markets. When President Zelensky criticised that deal, Trump snapped back saying Ukraine needs a new leader.
It's morally wrong to do diesel deals that fuel the Russian war machine that kills Ukrainians.
It's also morally wrong to call for @ZelenskyyUa to stand down because he defends Ukraine.

Excellent insight on the limited options for de-escalation as Houthi forces step-up their attacks on Saudi Arabia, striking the heart of the capital.
New CNN Newsroom segment with anchor @SalmaCNN on the Houthi escalation against Saudi Arabia, quoting my analysis. More below.
The view from Kyiv as America’s key mediators visit the capital for the first time.
They came, they saw ...
@SteveWitkoff & @jaredkushner felt the reality of Russia's brutal war of aggression in Kyiv.
We trust they'll carry our message to @realDonaldTrump:

The world map you've known all your life is wrong! Nearly every country at the UN voted to adopt a new map that shows a more accurate size of Africa after ~500 years of "symbolic minimization."
Only the US voted against it.
I explained why this is important on CNN
Clear and direct analysis from what @ChrisSabatini describes as a “con” in the form of a Trump deal for Venezuela’s oil reserves.

Thank you for humouring me this morning with clever analysis and fine wit on the saga of Nigel Farage versus a bin.
Broadcasters around the world are intrigued by a by-election contest involving a “trash can”: I was on CNN this morning video.snapstream.net/Play/3s…
Important context and analysis from @almuslimi after Iran activated one of its most valuable proxies triggering yet another escalation in the spiralling conflict.
Our powerful conversation on how a bloody proxy war has further eroded Lebanese sovereignty and entrapped countless innocents in a conflict they did not choose.
“What you’re seeing now is a preference to regional stability that satisfies the Iranian regime…with no concern for the wellbeing of the Lebanese state.
I worry that the negotiations in Washington will end up in failure rather than success.”

What an interesting morning!
Today, @SalmaCNN moderated a panel at #AWEurope25 in London about the importance of diversity in the media, using Iran’s protest movement as a case study to illustrate why it is so crucial.

Please read & watch this important story. We worked with the team @UNICEFDRC and @save_children to gather accounts of child survivors of sexual violence in the DRC. As fighting escalates, these accounts shed light on a horrifying surge of rape against the country's youngest.
The scale of sexual violence against children in eastern DR Congo is beyond a crisis – it is a tragedy.
In a recent article, @CNN shares the accounts of child survivors of rape who sought treatment at clinics supported by @UNICEFDRC and @save_children.

Israel is considering cutting the supply of water and electricity to Gaza as ceasefire negotiations falter, a spokesperson for Israel’s prime minister said Tuesday.
“Let’s say we’re not ruling out this option,” Omer Dostri said.
