France has denied allegations of interfering in Romaniaâs presidential elections after Telegram founder Pavel Durov claimed a âWestern European governmentâ asked him to block Romanian conservatives ahead of the vote. Durov hinted at France with a baguette emoji and accused French intel chief Nicolas Lerner of personally approaching him. France called the accusations âunfoundedâ and blamed Moscow for interference in the earlier annulled round. The tight runoff between centrist Nicusor and Euroskeptic Simion is now mired in deeper controversy.

NicuĆor Dan won Romaniaâs presidency with 54% of the vote, defeating ultranationalist rival George Simion in a runoff that followed the annulment of last yearâs results over foreign interference concerns. Simion initially refused to concede, denouncing the rerun as a âcoup,â but later congratulated Dan while vowing political resistance Danâs win was celebrated by EU leaders as a win for pro-European democracy, with leaders including Macron, Von der Leyen, and Zelensky welcoming his election, calling it a signal of Romaniaâs firm commitment to NATO, the EU, and democratic values in a region vulnerable to Russian influence.

Zelensky, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, held a high-level phone call with Donald Trump on May 16. The emergency dialogue came as Russia refused a ceasefire and demanded full Ukrainian withdrawal from key regions it doesn't entirely control â Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. While Ukraine, led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, pushed for genuine negotiations, Putin declined direct talks and sent aide Vladimir Medinsky instead. The only breakthrough: a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner of war swap.

Zelensky delivered a stunning rebuke to Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of being "afraid" to attend critical peace talks in Turkey. Speaking after the Istanbul summit collapsed with no major breakthroughs, Zelensky told European leadersâincluding French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merzâthat he was ready for a face-to-face meeting, but Putin chose to hide behind subordinates.

Russia has slammed French President Emmanuel Macron, accusing him of leading a âparty of warâ in NATO and the EU after he backed tougher sanctions on Moscow over the Ukraine conflict. The Kremlin says France is escalating hybrid warfare and blocking diplomacy by sending Mirage 2000 jets to Kyiv. Kremlin spokesperson Zakharova condemned the sanctions as an illegitimate trade war. Putin demands Ukraine halt mobilization and withdraw from Russian-claimed territories before any meaningful ceasefire talks can begin.
