As someone who speaks a 2nd language at about the same level of fluency as Zelensky’s English, it surprises me that no one has referenced this in their analysis of the oval office row. Nuance, dexterity and manners are very hard to achieve 2 against 1 in a foreign language

What an image. How many lives and how much of Europe’s future rests on this snatched conversation. News picture of the year

What a picture. Described as “a symbolic meeting that has the potential to be historic” by Zelensky. Two months after the shouting of the Oval Office, a seemingly calmer exchange in the Vatican. Is Pope Francis’ funeral the moment Donald Trump brought peace closer to Ukraine?
