I believe that the negotiations will resume, but it is up to President Trump in particular to decide what attitude he will take towards President Zelensky. What we have seen in the Oval Office is indeed a dagger in the back of a country that has long resisted Russian aggression. Martin Vokálek, executive director of the EUROPEUM Institute, commented for CNN Prima News.

Do you know what the second best book after the Bible is? According to Donald Trump, his bestseller, Trump: The Art of the Deal, helped him become popular and build his personal brand in the late 1980s. From this partly autobiographical book, the reader will learn, among other things, a wealth of advice on negotiating successfully. Trump presents himself as the ultimate deal-maker throughout his life. Viktor Daněk, the deputy director of the EUROPEUM Institute commented for Český Rozhlas Plus.

According to experts, the meeting of European politicians in Paris did not produce results that would indicate Europe's ability to play a major role in the negotiations on Ukraine. Martin Vokálek, executive director of the EUROPEUM Institute, commented for TN.cz.

Ukraine categorically rejects any peace agreement concluded without its direct participation. President Volodymyr Zelensky reacted to the phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. While Trump speaks optimistically about the impending end of the war, European and Ukrainian officials are talking more about a cold shower than a breakthrough in the negotiations. Martin Vokálek, Executive Director of the EUROPEUM Institute, commented on the situation for Czech Radio Plus.

Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, media coverage of the country has increased significantly. Interpreting and commenting on events, putting them in the news and shaping the debate about Ukraine's future prospects in relation to European integration has thus become an important part of the responsibility of most mainstream media. However, as the war drags on, the V4 citizens' awareness of the conflict has diverged. At different times, some topics have been given more emphasis than others, making the quality of coverage often incomplete or unconvincing. Some countries emphasise the autonomy of reporting, which in turn allows for broad and in-depth coverage, while there are regimes that narrow the information and use the topic of war to produce stories for domestic purposes. In the final report on the EUROPEUM Institute project, Oszkár Roginer-Hofmeister and others write.

Vít Havelka, Senior Research Fellow, appeared on the RTVS World:24 programme, where he commented on the European aid to Ukraine, which was eventually supported by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Earlier in November, EUROPEUM had the pleasure to organize a panel discussion on the EU and Ukraine, involving Štefan Füle and Václav Lídl and two distinguished Ukrainian speakers, Oleksii Haran and Maria Zolkina of the Democratic Initiatives Foundation (DIF).
