UK Flips on Oil Sanctions. EU Scrambles to Find Negotiator to Face Putin

The Duran: Episode 2525 Europe is scrambling to find someone to negotiate with Putin, and the names on the table, including Angela Merkel, Mario Draghi, and Kaja Kallas, reveal just how thin the EU's diplomatic bench truly is. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris break down the UK's stunning reversal on Russian oil sanctions, Keir Starmer's humiliating apology to Zelensky, and the uncomfortable truth that the entire British political class has openly placed Ukraine above the wellbeing of its own citizens.
