Putin’s Aide Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a "pure Nazi" and a "traitor to the Jewish people." Lavrov’s remarks come amid Zelensky’s heated confrontation with former U.S. President Donald Trump. Lavrov also praised Trump’s pragmatic approach, stating that his team has the "common sense" to step aside on Ukraine, while criticizing the Biden administration for escalating tensions. He warned that European peacekeepers in Ukraine would not resolve the crisis but instead prolong the conflict.

At CPAC 2025, Steve Bannon sparked controversy with a gesture resembling a Nazi salute, drawing backlash from the Anti-Defamation League and far-right figures. French National Rally leader Jordan Bardella canceled his speech, citing Bannon’s “allusion to Nazi ideology.” While Bannon dismissed the claim, saying it was a simple wave, critics remain unconvinced. The incident underscores growing divides within the global right and CPAC’s shift towards a Trump-centric rally, with discussions also revolving around Musk’s controversial presence and the 2028 election.
