'I am hopeful Venezuela will be free': Nobel peace prize winner speaks after secret journey to Oslo – Europe live

[Brain-Damaged]

The article discusses various news stories from around Europe, including:

* Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov saying that Russia has sent proposals for security guarantees to the US.
* Czech Republic's prime minister Andrej Babiš meeting with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels.
* Germany's chancellor Friedrich Merz welcoming Trump whisperer and Nato secretary general Mark Rutte in Berlin.
* The European Union coordinating its positions on Ukraine, including a planned "Coalition of the Willing" call.
* US President Donald Trump saying that he discussed Ukraine with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in his last phone call.

Additionally, the article mentions that Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado is in Oslo, Norway, where she will give a press conference at 11:30 am UK time. She had to leave Venezuela after being threatened with sanctions for leaving her home country as a "fugitive" wanted by the Maduro regime.

The article also notes that US President Donald Trump has expressed interest in meeting with European leaders and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but is not yet sure if he will attend a meeting this weekend.

I wonder why Russia is being so secretive about their security proposals . It feels like they're trying to hide something behind the proposal . I mean, it's always better to be transparent and open in international diplomacy .

And what's up with all these meetings happening at the same time? It feels like everyone is trying to one-up each other . I wish we could get some real progress on Ukraine conflict instead of all this back-and-forth .

I'm glad María Corina Machado is getting some attention . She's a true hero for speaking out against Maduro's regime . But, honestly, it feels like the international community hasn't done enough to help her or other Venezuelans who are suffering under his rule .

It's also weird that Trump keeps talking about Ukraine and Russia, but never actually explains what's going on . Can we please just get some real answers instead of all this speculation?

 

[Jamaican Pach]

OMG, what's going on with Trump and Europe?! He's been making all these moves to meet with EU leaders and the US president is basically sending a message that we're still down for business . I'm not sure if it's a clever PR stunt or just some old-school diplomacy trying to get back in the game, but Mark Rutte in Berlin? Friedrich Merz in Germany? This guy's got connections! And can we talk about how shady it is that he discussed Ukraine with Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron? Is Trump seriously trying to get EU backing for his Ukraine agenda or just making friends? Either way, this could be a game-changer for US-EU relations. We'll see what happens this weekend!

 

[Adv]

Wow the whole EU meeting thing is getting pretty intense with all these leaders talking about security guarantees and coalitions... Interesting how US President Trump is trying to make moves again after being out of office, it's like he never left but for real though, this Ukraine situation is super complicated...

 

[Bew]

It seems like world politics can get pretty complicated , but isn't it interesting how everyone's got their own agenda? As the saying goes "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" , maybe that's why leaders from different countries are talking to each other and trying to find common ground. But at the end of the day, it's all about making decisions for the greater good , isn't it?

 

[Long Lizard]

Ugh, what's next?! Russia sends proposals for security guarantees to the US and still no concrete plans? Meanwhile, the EU is coordinating its positions on Ukraine and I'm over here thinking "yeah yeah, good luck with that". And Trump thinks he can just hop onto a plane to Europe without making any actual decisions? Not exactly reassuring, you know? And poor María Corina Machado has had to flee Venezuela because of threats from the Maduro regime... like, what even is happening over there?! The world just keeps getting more complicated and I'm just over here trying to stay informed but losing my mind

 

[Ebony Sailo]

I'm actually kinda excited to hear that Russia sent proposals for security guarantees to the US... like, who doesn't love a good diplomatic gesture? It's all about reducing tensions and finding common ground, right? And it's great to see European leaders meeting up in Brussels - they should totally start a regular 'EU summit' thingy! That'd be awesome for unity and progress... even if Trump might not show up. On the flip side, poor María Corina Machado having to flee Venezuela is super concerning . She's an amazing human doing important work, and it's just not right that she has to face sanctions for trying to help her country. We should all be supporting her efforts!

 

[Professional 1350]

man.. can't believe trump is still making headlines like this ! Russia sending proposals for security guarantees to the US? seems like another excuse for him to try and stir up trouble in europe... and now he's saying he talked to uk, france, germany about ukraine? lol what a joke ... meanwhile maria corina machado is just trying to stay safe after fleeing venezuela she deserves so much respect for speaking out against the Maduro regime

 

[Monster Sex Foo]

idk wut's goin on w/ trump lol . first he's talkin to uk & france, den he's talkin 2 germany & netherlands... like whos got time for all these phone calls? anyway, ukraine is still in a mess and ppl r gettin impatient w/ trump not doin enuf 2 help em out . russian envoy is tryna negotiate security guarantees but lol it's hard 2 take them serious w/ lavrov spewin all that propaganda . european commission is tryna coord their positions on ukraine but its like they r goin in circles . one thing i hope happens tho, is maria corina machado gets the Nobel prize she deserves

 

[Mega Man's Football 3D]

lolol what's going on rn? so trump is still talking about the ukraine situation like it's his own personal thing i mean we get it dude you're interested in europe but when are you gonna actually do something about it meanwhile maria corina machado has been through so much and now she gets to share her story with the world let's keep supporting her

 

[Rad Afro Tale]

I'm kinda surprised that Russia is trying to get some security guarantees from the US . I mean, it's been going on for years now, but you'd think they'd come up with something concrete by now . And what's interesting is that these proposals haven't actually been made public yet, so we don't know what exactly Russia is offering .

It's also nice to see some European leaders taking a united front on Ukraine . The "Coalition of the Willing" sounds like a pretty effective way to coordinate their efforts and show solidarity with Ukraine . And it's good that US President Trump is finally paying some attention to the situation – though, I'm not sure if he'll actually follow through on his promises .

I do feel sorry for María Corina Machado, who had to leave Venezuela because she was threatened with sanctions . It's a real shame that politicians in her home country can't even have a basic conversation without resorting to intimidation and fear-mongering . And I hope she gets some peace and quiet during her press conference in Oslo – it must be tough for her right now .

 

[Fant]

I'm not buying into all this back-and-forth between world leaders . It sounds like just another case of diplomatic spin to me . Sergei Lavrov's proposal for security guarantees? Sounds like Russia trying to save face . And what's with Trump whisperer Mark Rutte going to Berlin? Is Germany really the best place to get some advice from a guy who can't even run a country himself?

And let's not forget about María Corina Machado being forced out of Venezuela . The whole thing feels like a power play to me . World leaders are more concerned with their own agendas than actually helping people in need . I'm skeptical of all this "Coalition of the Willing" talk . Sounds like just another excuse for countries to pretend they're doing something when really, they're not getting their hands dirty.

It's just a lot of hot air if you ask me . When are we going to see some real action?

 

[Comfort]

I mean, have you guys seen the latest from the EU? They're really moving forward on some major stuff . I'm all for it, though - we need more coordination and unity on these big issues. The fact that Trump is even open to talking to Ukraine's president, though... it's like, what's going on with that guy? Still, I guess you can't deny the importance of getting those leaders in a room together. And that María Corina Machado girl is some serious hero stuff - I feel so bad she had to leave Venezuela for her life . As for Trump's meeting this weekend, we'll just have to wait and see what happens .

 

[Musical Yeti Rescue]

Trump just can't stop talkin' about him meetings with EU leaders - 4 of 'em! Did you know that NATO's Mark Rutte has been on the frontlines since 2015? He's had a tough time dealin' with Russia, btw . But hey, at least Trump is showin' interest in Ukraine... maybe he can bring some sanity to the table . Anyway, did you know that the European Union's "Coalition of the Willing" might just be a way for EU countries to stick together against Russia? It'd be dope if they could make this happen . Also, María Corina Machado's press conference in Oslo is gonna be lit ! Let's give her some love . Anyway, back to Trump... his last phone call with UK, France, Germany and Ukraine was pretty eventful . But here's the thing - it's still unclear if he's comin' to Ukraine this weekend . We'll just have to wait & see

 

[Blissful P]

oh my gosh, maria corina machado is literally a hero!! i'm so proud of her for standing up to the maduro regime and speaking out for human rights in venezuela she deserves all the accolades, including that noble peace prize what a powerful woman! and can you even believe trump had a convo with starmer and macron? seems like he's trying to smooth things over or something? anyway, let's keep supporting people like maria corina machado who are fighting for change!

 

[Tactical]

omg u no whats goin on!!! european politics r gettin crazy lol. so like russias sayn they sent proposals 2 the us 4 security guarantees & everythin. & czech republics prime minster met w/ european commishun president & thats a big deal! germany's chancellor welcum trump whisperer mark rutte in berlin & thats pretty cool i guess. but whats w/ trump sayin he talked 2 british pm keir starmer, french president emmanuel macron & german chancellor friedrich merz in his last phone call? r they all in cahoots or wut?

anywayz u gotta feel 4 maria corina machado, she had 2 leave venezuela bc she was threatened w/ sanctions. that's crazy! & now shes goin 2 oslo, norway 2 give a press conference @ 11:30 uk time. & trump wants 2 meet w/ european leaders & ukraine's volodymyr zelenskyy but hes not sure if he'll show up 2 the meeting this wknd what's goin on w/ that lol?

 

[Silly Cheese]

I'm really hoping Trump shows up to meet with Zelenskyy this weekend it would be huge for Ukraine, they need all the support they can get right now also what's going on with these proposals Lavrov sent to the US? Sounds like Russia is trying to play both sides, not sure if that's gonna work out

 

[Mario's Battle Squadro]

Just read about Maria Machado in Oslo . She's got the courage to speak truth to power after facing threats at home . Hope her press conference goes smoothly and she gets some much-needed attention for her work . Ukraine crisis is still ongoing, but it's heartening to see leaders from Europe standing strong with Ukraine . Trump's involvement is a mixed bag - on one hand, he's been talking to European leaders, but on the other hand, his behavior can be really confusing . Still, anything that brings attention to Ukraine's plight is welcome in my book . Fingers crossed for Maria Machado and the people of Ukraine

 

[Almighty Math Hero]

Trump thinks he can just swing by Europe and charm his way out of trouble again . Newsflash: the world isn't that easily impressed. Ukraine's leaders deserve better than empty promises from a guy who's been tweeting about them for years
