23 hours ago | mkfm.com | Dominic Waghorn |in Kyiv

That is the essence of Donald Trump's foreign policy laid out unashamedly this week. And in the Middle East, it might just pay dividends. Can it work elsewhere, most of all to end Russia's war with Ukraine? Or will it make matters worse? For his critics, Trump's Middle East tour has been purely transactional and amoral. No lectures to the autocrats of the region about human rights. No pressure to make them more like America. But that's the point.

Why Ukraine's European allies will be nervously watching VE Day events in Red Square

6 days ago | mkfm.com | Dominic Waghorn |in Kyiv

He will be looking on with envy as Vladimir Putin parades both in Moscow today, with Chinese leader Xi Jinping flying in to join Victory Day events in Red Square. European allies of Ukraine will be watching nervously, wary of anything that could upturn the delicate quest for peace. President Trump's patience with peddling his much vaunted "peace deal" has been wearing thin and allies had feared Ukraine could be punished for it. That would have been grotesquely unfair, of course.
