20.04.2025Day Putin's Easter Truce Shattered As Pope Delivered Peace Plea
Putin's 30-hour Easter truce in Ukraine dominated morning coverage, with Italian media extensively reporting Zelensky's claims of multiple violations. By midday, newspapers cited Zelensky's allegations of 387 Russian bombardments since the ceasefire began, with one civilian killed by a drone strike.

Pope Francis appeared at St. Peter's Square for the Urbi et Orbi blessing, having earlier held a brief meeting with US Vice President Vance. Though appearing frail, the Pope delivered a message condemning ongoing conflicts and militarization, specifically describing Gaza's situation as "ignominious" and emphasizing "no peace is possible without true disarmament."

By evening, Zelensky claimed over 2,000 violations of the truce, which Moscow announced would not be extended beyond its midnight expiration. Trump unexpectedly expressed hope for a Russia-Ukraine agreement within the week, despite Putin ending the ceasefire without extension.

Nel Regno Unito, la Corte Suprema dice che le transessuali non possono ambire al 50 per cento di posti riservati alle donne nei Cda. Dopo che una legge dello Stato certifica il cambio di genere al termine di un percorso lungo, complesso e non scontato. Ok sei donna, no non sei donna: che senso ha?

Le mosse contro la banca centrale Usa sono molto più pericolose di quello che si pensi. È un attacco all'indipendenza della politica monetaria e al bilanciamento dei poteri. Fortunatamente la legge è dalla parte del banchiere, che tuttavia finirà con l'essere il capro espiatorio di tutti gli errori economici del presidente

Il cessate il fuoco voluto da Putin si rileva un'illusione, "un'astuta manovra mediatica" come sostengono gli ucraini. Kiev accusa Mosca di aver continuato a bombardare e viceversa. Trenta ore sono servite a poco: i nodi sul tavolo sono ancora tutti lì

Non c’è bisogno di pronunciare chissà quali discorsi per il 25 aprile. Né occorre che Meloni intoni “Bella Ciao”. Sarebbe sufficiente un grazie, detto con il cuore, a quanti cacciarono i nazifascisti. Grazie agli antifascisti di ogni tendenza politica (comunisti compresi). Lo farà? Quasi impossibile. Ma perderà un’occasione
