What the new De Gaulle film leaves out on how WWII ended for eastern Europe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The new biopic about the wartime leadership of general Charles de Gaulle is a must-watch. The two-part epic depicts the transformation of France’s fortunes from defeat and collaboration to victory and sovereignty, exemplified by de Gaulle. He arrives in London with nothing but moral authority and self-belief, and — if this is a plot spoiler I apologise — returns home in triumph as his country’s leader and liberator, albeit with a little help from the British, Americans, and others. The film, a b
Leipzig was a warning shot. Here’s what real deterrence against Kremlin terror would look like (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Germany is under attack, but it does not know how to respond. The news that the suspected perpetrators of the potentially fatal attack on Leipzig airport last month are a Russian linked to that country’s military intelligence agency, the GRU, and a Belarusian, highlights both gaps in defence and the lack of deterrence. The Russian (who entered from Turkey and then left for Serbia) was identified on arrival as having GRU connections. But the German authorities lacked the resources to put him unde
Trump’s self-sabotaging America is leaving Europe with a weaker ally against Putin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The nauseating sight of the American envoy Steve Witkoff fawning on Vladimir Putin this weekend should have been a shock. Also shocking: Witkoff and his similarly unimpressive sidekick, Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, travelled in a Russian government motorcade and used a Kremlin interpreter for their Moscow meeting. But so many other events are shocking too. Like Russia’s relentless drone strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, the impact of horrible words and repulsive deeds from
The CIA’s visit to Moscow shows Nato is working — and it’s a reminder that Europe still matters to Washington (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In late August 1938, US secretary of state Cordell Hull flew to Berlin to warn the Nazi regime against attacking its neighbours. The superpower’s foreign policy chief stopped off in Prague to show support for Czechoslovakia. He also went to Paris and London, to tell the French and the British not to do deals with Hitler. Meanwhile the US ambassador to Moscow, Joseph Davies, delivered a blunt message to Stalin. In fact, the US was militarily feeble and absent from European security. Britain and F
Seize Russia’s frozen €210bn for Ukraine now – while EU unity lasts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
European leaders need no encouragement to enjoy the summer sun. They should make the most of favourable political weather too. Since Viktor Orbán’s departure from power in Budapest, and before the next French president takes office next May, a rare period of consensus about support for Ukraine reigns in Europe. The first agenda item when the suntanned bigwigs return in September should be seizing Russia’s central bank assets: around €210bn, frozen since 2022, mostly held by the Belgian company E
