Romanian Presidential candidate Nicusor Dan celebrates his electoral victory in Bucharest
Romania’s pro-West candidate Nicușor Dan wins presidential election in dramatic comeback
BUCHAREST — Pro-West independent candidate Nicusor Dan staged a dramatic comeback on Sunday to win the Romanian presidential elections with a firm 54% of the votes.His contender, hard-right candidate George Simion, with 46% of votes, at first refused to concede in an unprecedented political thriller which transfixed and polarised the country on NATO’s eastern flank, but then relented, congratulating Dan on his victory late on Sunday night.“It’s a bitter feeling, but this election is just the beginning," Simion said, congratulating his opponent.Romanians have chosen to continue their current pro-Western course by turning out in record numbers to vote for the unassuming mayor of Bucharest and against the nationalist doctrines represented by Simion and his ally Calin...

German leader threatens Russia with fresh sanctions over no-show at Istanbul talks
BERLIN — German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said Russian leader Vladimir Putin was in the wrong for not attending Russia-Ukraine talks in Istanbul, and pledged to slap fresh sanctions on Moscow.The talks are beginning on Friday and mark the first time the warring sides have held direct talks at any level since soon after Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.Putin snubbed the talks and sent a low-level Russian delegation to attend in his place.The German chancellor has pledged a fresh sanctions package against Moscow over Putin’s no-show. “The fact that President Zelenskyy traveled to Turkey despite this is an enormous gesture.

A day of confusion and chaos as Russia and Ukraine agree to first direct talks in 3 years
ISTANBUL — After five days of confusion over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s proposal for direct talks with Ukraine, the day they were supposed to begin initially brought only more of the same: a seven-hour stakeout on the banks of the Bosphorus, an unruly scrum at the Russian consulate, and finally a decision from Ukraine’s president that may open a new chapter in this intractable conflict.The chaotic scenes that unfolded in Istanbul on Thursday set the tone for a difficult road ahead. As the world’s media descended in the morning on the Dolmabahçe Palace in Istanbul, Ukraine still hadn’t confirmed it would take part or given any signals as to the makeup of its delegation, and a source from the Turkish foreign ministry told CNN there was “no scheduled meeting...

The EU has threatened more sanctions if Russia fails to accept a 30-day ceasefire
EU agrees new sanctions on Russia and threatens more if Putin refuses ceasefire
BRUSSELS — The European Union has agreed to impose a new round of sanctions against Russia, threatening to slap on another one if the country continues to refuse the 30-day unconditional ceasefire proposed by the White House and the "Coalition of the Willing".The big push comes as Volodymyr Zelensky challenges Vladimir Putin to sit down for direct peace talks in Turkey, a format endorsed by Donald Trump.
