Recent developments in Eastern Europe reveal a complex interplay of diplomacy and conflict. Putin's assurance of leniency for Ukrainian soldiers in Kursk, following a request from Trump, highlights shifting alliances amidst ongoing tensions.

Meanwhile, Hungary's controversial veto against EU sanctions on Russia has drawn criticism from Estonia and has led to a suspension of voting rights. Despite Hungary's actions, the EU remains firm in extending sanctions against Russia, impacting key oligarchs.

As the Kremlin faces economic pressure, discussions around energy cooperation with the U.S. have resulted in a significant drop in European gas prices. While Trump’s potential sanctions threaten Russia's economy, they may also offer a pathway to a resolution in the Ukraine conflict.

However, the EU's long-term strategy aims to sever reliance on Russian energy by 2027, indicating a pivotal moment in regional geopolitics.
