I would like to take a moment to express my special thanks to everyone who contributed to organizing and carrying out the humanitarian mission in Oleshky. ☝️This video is a message of gratitude. This operation required an extraordinary level of coordination, trust, and collective effort. And most importantly, it made it possible for Ukrainians to return home. @FLOTUS @MarcBeckman @ZelenskyyUa @NEWSMAX

Stop dezinformacji! Stanowczo dementujemy nieprawdziwe informacje pojawiające się w przestrzeni publicznej, dotyczące rzekomego braku zgody na lądowanie w piątek w Warszawie samolotu z Prezydentem RP na pokładzie. Wojskowi piloci, po otrzymaniu informacji o przerwaniu lotu i konieczności powrotu do Warszawy, natychmiast i bez żadnych przeszkód przystąpili do realizacji zadania. Wszelkie pojawiające się informacje o rzekomych problemach z powrotem do Polski samolotu wojskowego są nieprawdziwe. Tego rodzaju dezinformacja może być wykorzystywana przez rosyjską i białoruską propagandę.

Na Floridě se v neděli zřítilo soukromé letadlo s devíti lidmi na palubě, spadlo do obytné čtvrti a po dopadu explodovalo. Stroj letěl z mezinárodního letiště Austin-Bergstrom v Texasu a mířil na Bahamy.

A diplomat involved in the U.S.-Iran talks tells me this report is false and adds the Iranians left Doha early morning Sunday. "Talks progressed positively yesterday and mediators are working on bridging the gaps and remaining concerns shared by the two sides from yesterday’s meetings", the diplomat said
🚨 BREAKING | A source who attended today’s closed-door talks in Qatar between Iranian and Qatari representatives told me: “Nothing is moving. Iran hasn’t budged an inch. The Iranian delegation now in Qatar is made up of people who can’t even decide what they’re allowed to eat. So they’re going to decide on a deal with the U.S.? Both sides know where this is going. The only question is when Trump decides, and how. Everything else is already settled.” According to the source, Iran is showing some flexibility over the Strait of Hormuz, but is making far-reaching demands even there.
