The UN general assembly meeting brought together many leaders whose countries are locked in conflict.

L’expansion rapide du bloc – qui compte désormais 11 membres permanents et 10 partenaires – le rend incapable de s’exprimer d’une voix commune.
Rapid expansion of the bloc means that its 21 members have deeply divergent interests, particularly in the Middle East.
Despite representing a quarter of the globe, the bloc has never managed to present a unified worldview.
Corruption has plagued Ukraine for its whole history as an independent state.
Même si le droit international interdit l’endoctrinement et la militarisation des enfants dans les territoires occupés, la Russie se livre ouvertement à ces pratiques en Ukraine.
In modern conflicts, military might doesn’t automatically translate into political gains.
International law forbids the indoctination and militarisation of children in occupied territories.
Volodymyr Zelensky and Benjamin Netanyahu took the opportunity of Graham’s funeral to meet with Donald Trump.
Le remplacement du jeune ministre de la défense Mykhaïlo Fedorov, grand ordonnateur de la guerre des drones ukrainienne, reflète des conflits internes et suscite le mécontentement de la population.
Mykhailo Fedorov’s removal is a distraction from a defence effort that had finally seemed to put Ukraine on the front foot.
As ever, a lot will depend on the mood of the US president, Donald Trump.
Splits are appearing in Europe’s approach to Russia’s aggression just when it needs to present a united front.
Russia has launched its biggest drone and missile strikes of the war to date. But Ukraine has hit back effectively.
Russia is clearly now the junior partner in its ‘no-limits friendship’ with China.
Vladimir Putin will see his relevance and leverage diminished by more stable US-China relations.
There’s no easy way to fasttrack Kyiv into the EU.
Washington has been championing long-time incumbent, Viktor Orbán. But there’s a good chance that Donald Trump’s endorsement might prove a handicap.
Beyond simple survival, Moldova seems to have emerged stronger from the challenges it has faced.
The two wars are forcing the EU to take a more assertive role in defence and security affairs, leading to arguments between senior officials.
The Russian leader will be angry at the assault on a Russian ally, but American involvement in a conflict in the Middle East for now will play to his advantage in Ukraine.
The Ukraine war enters its fifth year and there are no signs that the fighting will end anytime soon.
Donald Trump’s approach to peacemaking is deeply flawed.
The US president’s plan for Ukraine looks far-fetched and one-sided – but it might buy Volodymyr Zelensky and his allies valuable time.
Any end to the fighting in Ukraine looks as far away as ever.
