17.05.2025 โ‡ข Day Kremlin Extended Olive Branch While Paolini Conquered Rome
โŒจThe Kremlin signaled diplomatic openings, suggesting a Putin-Zelensky summit might be possible after reaching certain agreements, marking a shift from yesterday's exchange-only approach.

Israel launched a major Gaza offensive called "Gideon's Chariots," with at least 153 Palestinian deaths reported.

In Milan, police used water cannons against protesters challenging a far-right "Remigration Summit" in Gallarate, which Interior Minister Piantedosi defended as representing "strong ideas."

By afternoon, Jasmine Paolini made history before President Mattarella, defeating American Coco Gauff 6-4, 6-2 to become the first Italian woman in 40 years to win the Rome tennis tournament.
