It is a very complex negotiation process, which includes a huge amount of details."
The Vatican envoy, Monsignor Paul Gallagher: "The meetings we had in Moscow with various representatives of the diplomatic missions serve to strengthen the Holy See's initiative to keep the path of dialogue open, we are convinced that this is the path to follow and that isolating people, countries, frankly does not help".

Storm Shadow or Scalp, the Franco-UK missile that scares Putin
Kiev will be able to produce the Storm Shadow at home, the long-range cruise missile which in Paris is called Scalp. The green light came from London and Paris, while Donald Trump's authorization for the Ukrainian production of the Patriot remains pending. Launched from an aircraft in flight, capable of traveling at very low altitude to evade enemy defenses, it is the weapon with which Ukraine has already struck Russian strategic targets. Here's how it works, who makes it and how it differs from other long-range carriers supplied or requested by Kiev.

Russia promises "massive raids" on Ukrainian energy sites
Russia is pushing for escalation in Ukraine, preparing for "massive attacks" against Ukrainian energy sites, in response to Kiev's bombing campaign on Moscow's oil infrastructure which is putting a strain on the country's supply. President Vladimir Putin has in fact promised retaliation for the Ukrainian attacks that now strike deep into Russia on a daily basis: a spiral of tension that seems to leave no room for diplomacy despite US attempts to resume mediation. According to Axios, which cites informed sources, CIA director John Ratcliffe proposed a trilateral meeting between Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky during his visit to Moscow earlier this week, which also had the aim of understanding whether Russian intelligence leaders could help convince the tsar to resume negotiations with Ukraine, under US mediation. Dmitry Peskov responded: "You know the position of our head of state well. Such a meeting is possible only for the purpose of formalizing the agreements", the Kremlin spokesperson made it clear, underlining that the path of negotiation is "complex and full of details" that it would be useless to discuss at leader level. According to Peskov, "the Kiev side does not want to engage in a real solution" to the war. "We remain open to negotiations but unfortunately, we cannot recognize the existence of the preconditions. They simply do not exist at the moment." Words that do not do well for the efforts of the United States, which in recent weeks has taken back control of the Ukrainian dossier set aside for the war with Iran. "We are preparing for new communications with the envoys of the President of the United States," announced Volodymyr Zelensky, promising further details on Monday. “We are doing everything we can to ensure that war does not remain the only option in the future. It is important to underline that America shares many of our views on the situation, both at the front and regarding the attacks,” the Ukrainian president later claimed.
The Vatican: "To achieve peace in Ukraine, Moscow must not be isolated"
For a solution to the conflict in Ukraine, Russia must not be isolated. The position of the Secretary for Relations with States, the Vatican 'minister' of Foreign Affairs, Monsignor, is certainly against the tide of the position of most Western chancelleries. Paul Gallagher who, with the Vatican media, takes stock of his recent mission to Moscow, with high-level meetings both with his counterpart Serghei Lavrov and with the Kremlin's foreign policy advisor, Yuri Ushakov, which concluded yesterday. And yet, while reiterating that the Holy See moves mainly on the humanitarian channel and is not dealing with real negotiations but only trying to facilitate them, Gallagher insists on what has been the Vatican's attitude towards Moscow from the first moment. "The meetings we had in Moscow with various representatives of the diplomatic missions - he explained - serve to strengthen the initiative of the Holy See to keep the path of dialogue open, we are convinced that this is the path to follow and that isolating people, countries, frankly does not help. This is our opinion, obviously each State has every right to decide its own strategy independently. By coming here to Moscow and doing what others are not doing at the moment, we invite you to reflect on whether the strategies implemented so far are bringing results to resolve this tragedy".
Zelensky: "Russia wants to wear us out, 1,500 drones in 96 hours"
Russia is trying to wear down Ukrainian air defense and morale with a massive drone launch in the last 96 hours. The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, is certain of this. “Right now, Russia's tactic is to wear down Ukraine and Ukrainians, first of all our population,” he wrote on Telegram. "Drone attacks are continuous", he reported, "our military shoots down a significant share of them. In the last four days alone, almost 1,500 drones of all types have been used, of which around 800 are jet-propelled, the most difficult to intercept".
Kiev aims for an advance of EU funds: "We will present a clear vision on defense"
Ukraine's new Defense Minister Yevhenii Khmara has promised Kiev's partners a "clear" vision of how his country plans to fight Russia with more resources, in a bid to get part of a European Union loan upfront to help cover a $27 billion military budget deficit. This was reported by Reuters online, recalling that the Ukrainian government is heavily dependent on foreign funds to continue its war, with the EU having pledged to provide 90 billion euros in financing until 2027. In statements to journalists, Yevhenii Khmara said that Kiev will try to obtain part of the 45 billion euro loan scheduled for next year in advance, as well as putting pressure on allies to obtain greater contributions and support from new countries that have not yet provided funds. “Ukraine will present partners with a clear vision and a precise plan: what tasks await the Defense Forces, what projects are needed, what results need to be achieved and by what time,” he said. The EU has allocated 45 billion euros for both 2026 and 2027, allowing Ukraine to allocate record funds to defense. President Volodymyr Zelensky said last week that Kiev spent more than expected in the first half of the year. Khmara said Ukraine needs "appropriate decisions" to save lives and a clear vision at all levels on how to fight and end the war. “This vision must be communicated to all commanders and units carrying out missions at the front every day,” he said. The minister added that Ukraine has tested four potential interceptors to shoot down jet drones that Russia is increasingly launching at Ukraine.
