Overnight Washington still set the tone as Trump claimed Putin wanted a settlement and blamed Zelensky, following his call for a new Ukrainian president.
By morning attention shifted to Riyadh, where the Houthi missile strike on the airport left at least 12 dead and over 300 wounded, including a French woman, prompting French condemnation, then to Rome after Pope Leo XIV announced imminent lung-nodule surgery.
The afternoon belonged to the 2027 race: after voting extended over Friday's cyberattack, Raphaël Glucksmann won the Socialist-Place publique primary in the first round with 66% against Olivier Faure, pledging to rassembler the democratic left, naming the far right as adversary and breaking with LFI while courting Hollande. Mélenchon answered from Clermont-Ferrand courting lycéens with voting at 16, while Attal and Philippe held rival rallies in Dijon. Trump then claimed an energy ceasefire Zelensky said he had not been told of but would accept.
