Vance describes scandal meetings in the Oval Office-and lies. The situation in the morning
Donald Trump cuts US military aid for Ukraine. Meanwhile, his vice JD Vance turns facts about the historical meeting with Selenskyj. What else is important today.
Perhaps you are overwhelmed by all the – mostly bad – news that reaches us every day. I can assure you: you are not alone. Even news professionals such as my colleagues, colleagues and I are sometimes overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of bad news these days and weeks.
I save you here to recap the news of the past 24 hours. But what we realize: With President Trump’s taking office, this situation has worsened significantly. Why this is calculated has My colleague Yannik Schüller recorded in his opinion three weeks ago:
“This complete overstimulation is no coincidence. It is a strategy. In view of the sheer flood of decrees, nobody has a chance to get in front of the wave. (…)” Flood the Zone “(in German:” Flood the area “) is the name of this principle, the invention of which is the ultra -right spind doctor Steve Bannon.”
So if you feel flooded with messages from the United States, you could say: This is part of Trump’s plan. And another thought can help: We do not experience a time for the first time that is characterized by many fears. My colleague Frank Donovitz therefore advises “more cool” and less fear in his text.
Donald Trump hires Ukraine aid-Vance lies
The most important news from the night – briefly summarized here:
- The US military aid For the attacked Ukraine, the exposed until further notice and subjected to a review. It is about aid of more than one billion US dollars.
- The “New York Times” reported, citing a government official who should only be resumed when Trump sees that Ukraine committed itself to negotiations with Russia. According to some observers of the Russian, the Trump government follows Propaganda steelthat the aggressor Russia actually wanted peace and the Ukraine lock against peace negotiations.
- Vice-president Jd vance Wolodymyr Selenskyj said in an interview with the broadcaster Fox News: “You can’t get to the Oval Office or anywhere else and refuse to only discuss the details of a peace agreement,” complained the Republican. “The hope that the sheet will turn at some point is not a strategy. Money for ammunition to put into a terrible conflict – that’s not a strategy.”
Vance also describes the meeting between him, Trump and Selenskyj on Friday. There had been an unprecedented scandal. Trump and Vance covered Selenskyj with allegations at the press appointment in the Oval Office. With a view to the meeting, Vance now claimed that he had tried to “defuse the situation a little”. In truth, the Republican Selenskyj was still tackled before Trump and had accused him of disrespect – an accusation that he now renewed.
Selenskyj had previously tried to make it clear that diplomatic agreements with Kremlin boss Vladimir Putin had nothing after the annexation of the Crimea in 2014 and that Russia’s president was not a reliable negotiating partner. Immediately after the meeting was terminated in the Oval Office, Selenskyj’s team asked to continue the conversation, Vance now described. But Trump rejected that.
Could Western countries compensate for the elimination of US aid?
That is highly questionable. Especially with the rockets for the Aircraft systems Patriot type cannot be replaced by US deliveries. In the air defense, weaknesses could quickly arise that the Russian military can take advantage of for its attacks with ballistic rockets and marching aircraft. There are hardly any protection for the battered energy system, important armaments factories or other strategically significant goals.

Pope Francis is getting worse and worse
Pope Francis suffered two more severe breathing crises. “Today the Holy Father had two seizures of acute respiratory insufficiency,” said the Vatican on Monday evening. The crises were caused by a “significant collection of mucus” in the bronchi and the resulting cramp. The 88-year-old Francis was “attentive, awake and cooperative,” said the Vatican. Two bronchoscopies were made to “suck secretion”. The doctors still didn’t want to make a forecast.
In the afternoon, the Pope was ventilated with an oxygen mask, it continued in the evening medical report of the Vatican. “There are ups and downs,” said Vatican circles about the state of the Pope.
