Trump and Macron Push for Ukraine Peace Deal

Following their White House meeting, US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron called for an accelerated peace process to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

Trump criticized the Biden administration’s handling of the war, emphasizing that the US had provided over $300 billion in aid, far more than Europe. He urged European nations to take on more responsibility, stating, “I want to bring peace, not war.” He also pushed for a US-Ukraine agreement on rare earth minerals, linking economic cooperation to the peace process.

Macron stressed that any peace deal must protect Ukraine’s sovereignty and should not mean surrender. He supported deploying peacekeepers in Ukraine and working with European allies on reconstruction and security guarantees. Both leaders signaled progress, with Trump set to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky soon to discuss next steps.

Srebrenica Genocide Victims Laid to Rest on 30th Anniversary

Seven newly identified victims of the 1995 Srebrenica genocide were buried at the Potocari Memorial Cemetery in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the 30th anniversary of the massacre. The genocide, recognized by international courts, claimed over 8,300 Muslim lives during the Bosnian War.

The ceremony drew leaders and officials from across the region and Europe, including Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş, Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, and French and NATO representatives.

Bosnian official Denis Bećirović emphasized the years of propaganda and planning that led to the genocide, while French President Emmanuel Macron warned that denialism has no place in EU-aspiring nations. NATO’s Mark Rutte called it a lasting tragedy linking the Netherlands and Bosnia.

Sirens marked the remembrance across cities, and symbolic tributes—including a silent jump from Mostar Bridge and the release of lilies—honored the victims. The newly buried include victims aged between 17 and 67.
