26.05.2025 ⇢ Day of Trump's Putin Rebuke and Wilders' Asylum Ultimatum
⌨

Russia's massive drone and missile attack on Ukraine (364 drones reported) dominated morning coverage, with Trump's unusually harsh condemnation of Putin as "completely insane" receiving significant attention. The Kremlin dismissed this as "emotional overload." By midday, focus shifted to Trump's postponement of 50% EU tariffs until July 9 following his call with Von der Leyen.

Domestic coverage revealed farmers facing displacement for military expansion, with Carolien's farm being requisitioned for a "super barracks." The Council of State warned that cabinet plans to relax nitrogen regulations were legally risky. By afternoon, Wilders delivered an ultimatum demanding a "total asylum stop within weeks" enforced by military border control, threatening government collapse. Opposition parties dismissed this as political theater.

Evening news focused on an incident at Liverpool's championship celebration where a car drove into the crowd, injuring 27 people who required hospitalization.
