Description:
Putin has made it official: Europe is Russia's true enemy, not America. In this latest breakdown from The Duran, Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris unpack the seismic fallout from Putin's Victory Day press conference where the Russian president delivered his most scathing attack on European leadership ever recorded, revealing how he believes Macron and Boris Johnson conspired to sabotage the Istanbul peace deal.
The pair also reveal how a direct Trump-Putin phone call forced Zelensky to stand down from a planned May 9th strike on Moscow, marking the first time Washington has actively restrained Ukraine since the conflict began. With Russia now pivoting its energy future entirely toward China and the Power Siberia pipeline expansion, the economic divorce from Europe looks permanent. Is "Project Ukraine" the Western plan to break up Russia — truly finished, and what does Putin's new assertiveness mean for the next phase of this conflict?

Description:
Trump has flatly rejected Iran's counter proposal to US nuclear talks, declaring it "totally unacceptable" as oil prices surge and the Hormuz blockade tightens its grip on the global economy.
Alex Christoforou of The Duran breaks down a packed Monday news cycle spanning the Iran nuclear standoff, Trump's upcoming China visit with Xi Jinping, and the EU's deepening energy trap as Slovak Prime Minister Fico asks the question on everyone's mind: "Are we idiots?"
Meanwhile, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas gets trolled by Putin over the Schroeder mediator proposal, Latvia fires its defense minister after Ukrainian drones violated its airspace, and the EU prepares to sanction the Russian Orthodox Church now that Orban's veto is gone.
From Alexander Mercouris correcting the misreported Putin statement on Project Ukraine to Modi warning Indians to stop buying gold and avoid destination weddings, this is a news day that covers the full spectrum of global geopolitical realignment. How much longer can the West hold this line before the cracks become craters?

Trump just scored his biggest diplomatic win yet brokering a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire on Victory Day 2026 that held through the entire Moscow parade, complete with a 1,000-prisoner swap from each side.
Alex Christoforou of The Duran breaks down the full picture from Athens: how Putin's stark warning that Russia was fighting "the entire NATO block" set the stage, why the US quietly called off Ukraine's planned drone strikes, and what Zelensky's laughable spin about "granting permission for the parade" tells us about the information war being waged in real time.
Beyond Ukraine, Alex examines Iran's Foreign Minister Arachi defiantly claiming missile inventory is at 120% not the 75% cited by the CIA as US Patriot stockpiles are reportedly burned through, the Gulf states sign $17 billion in arms contracts that won't be delivered for years, and Washington sanctions Chinese companies just days before Trump's Beijing summit.
With Kier Starmer vowing to "break with the status quo" while promising more Ukraine funding and a deeper EU embrace, and the EU's "Europe Day" getting demolished in the comments for trying to upstage Victory Day, one question keeps rising to the surface: is the Western establishment so detached from reality that it can no longer see itself losing?

Description:
Russia's oil export volumes held firm in April and that's just the beginning of the story. In this episode of The Duran, Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris break down the latest Russian economic data, revealing that despite relentless Ukrainian drone strikes on oil infrastructure, Russia's energy revenues are not only surviving but rebounding.
The bigger geopolitical earthquake, however, is China's direct order to its state refineries to ignore US sanctions entirely and buy Russian oil without restriction a move that could unravel the entire Western sanctions architecture. As Russia simultaneously cuts off LNG exports to Europe and deepens energy ties with India, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, a fundamental restructuring of global trade is now underway. Is the age of American-led economic sanctions officially coming to an end and is Europe the biggest loser in the world that's emerging?

Europe's €90 billion loan to Ukraine is not what it appears — and Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris of The Duran break down exactly why. Germany is set to funnel €20 billion directly to Kyiv in what looks less like a loan and more like a financial sleight of hand, all while German citizens endure austerity cuts at home.

Germany is set to funnel €20 billion directly to Kyiv in what looks less like a loan and more like a financial sleight of hand, all while German citizens endure austerity cuts at home.
Meanwhile, Ukraine's long-promised EU membership is hitting a wall of resistance from existing member states — raising a devastating question: was that promise ever real? The Duran traces this deception all the way back to 2013, when the EU dangled membership as bait to rupture the Ukraine-Russia relationship, not to genuinely integrate Ukraine into Europe. As the front lines grind on and drone strikes hit Russian infrastructure, one question remains: has Ukraine been fighting a decade-long conflict for a future it was never actually going to receive?
