Summary

In a surprising turn, Russian President Vladimir Putin has named former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder as his preferred European mediator for Ukraine war talks. This announcement comes as Kyiv and Moscow observe a three-day ceasefire, brokered by US President Donald Trump. Schröder, known for his close ties with Russia, has previously advocated for dialogue with Russia, despite the international communitys stance against Russias invasion. EU leaders are preparing for their own direct talks with both sides, dissatisfied with the USs handling of the situation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
