3 h. ago Europe’s powerful tool against Russia? Seizing its frozen assets

If European leaders want to truly support Ukraine they must seize the moment by seizing $220bn in assetsIt is now clear that Donald Trump’s administration will betray Ukraine in its fight to resist Russian aggression. Trump himself is either a victim of disinformation or he is a willing participant in an effort to deceive Americans about the causes and consequences of the war.Trump’s lies include claiming that Ukraine is equally to blame for the war; that Volodymyr Zelenskyy doesn’t “have the cards” to end the conflict on favourable terms; and that Ukraine could not have defended itself without US help. Yet the whole world knows that Russia launched an unprovoked invasion, and we all remember the initial weeks, when Ukrainians valiantly defended an 1,800-mile frontline against a supposedly superior army, long before deliveries of western artillery, armoured vehicles and air defence systems arrived.

3 h. ago China vows it will ‘fight to the end’ with US in trade war – or any other war

Wolf warrior-style comments mark China’s strongest rhetoric on US president Donald Trump since he entered the White HouseChina’s ministry of foreign affairs has promised that China will “fight to the end” with the US in a “tariff war, trade war or any other war”, marking China’s strongest rhetoric on US president Donald Trump since he entered the White House.On Tuesday, in response to Trump imposing an extra 10% tariff on Chinese goods, taking the cumulative duty to 20%, China’s foreign ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said: “Exerting extreme pressure on China is the wrong target and the wrong calculation If the US has other intentions and insists on a tariff war, trade war or any other war, China will fight to the end. We advise the US to put away its bullying face and return to the right track of dialogue and cooperation as soon as possible.” Continue reading...

12 h. ago Thuram and Martínez quell Feyenoord’s fire to put Inter in control of last

Robin van Persie has helped Feyenoord stun Inter before but it will take an almighty turnaround to earn their first European Cup quarter-final since 1972. This was a harsh introduction to the sharp end of management for a local hero whose below-strength side sparkled briefly before their visitors’ knowhow comfortably won out.A goal in each half from Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martínez meant Inter have a foot in the last eight and, positioned in the softer half of the draw, cannot be discounted from going the distance. It will take time for Van Persie, appointed 10 days ago to harness the legacy bequeathed by Arne Slot, to stamp his identity here; a seasoned Inter, ultimately assured and lethal, look quietly confident in their own skin.
