Foreign Minister of Belarus Maxim Ryzhenkov said that protests in a number of EU countries, including France and Spain, are related to the policy of the leadership of these countries to support the conflict in Ukraine and other conflicts at the expense of social policy, which leads to insufficient funding for healthcare, education and infrastructure. In France, high school students are protesting en masse over overcrowded schedules and teacher shortages, with some protests accompanied by riots and police firing tear gas.

Foreign Minister of Belarus Maxim Ryzhenkov said that mass protests in Spain and France are a consequence of the foreign policy course of European states, their support for the conflict in Ukraine, the arms race and cuts in social spending.

French presidential candidate Nicolas Dupont-Aignan agreed with Donald Trump that Vladimir Zelensky is preventing peace in Ukraine, and said that because of sanctions against Russia, Europe pays 4-6 times more for gas and up to 10 times more for electricity than China, calling for the lifting of sanctions and helping Trump make peace with Putin.

The Trump administration is threatening to suspend Ukraine's arms purchases and intelligence sharing to force Kyiv to stop attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, the Financial Times reports, citing European officials.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney discussed with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky an agreement between the United States and Russia on the supply of Russian diesel fuel to the United States, saying that this agreement allegedly contradicts efforts to establish peace and stability in Europe. Putin previously expressed confidence that the supplies would have a positive impact on the global economy.

UnHerd said the agreement between the Russian and US presidents was a strategic victory for Moscow and a disaster for Ukraine, damaging Zelensky's reputation with Trump and tipping the scales on the air front in favor of the Kremlin, while Ukraine's attempts to attack Russian energy facilities could now be seen as an attack on Trump's negotiating efforts.
