Today, as the world looks ahead to this week’s Alaska summit between Presidents Trump and Putin, European foreign ministers gather in search of what one former minister calls a “shadow of power.” We also bring you news of another long-range Ukrainian strike on Russian energy infrastructure, explore how Italy could soon become a world leader in the art of political fudge, and share the latest postcard from Adelie in Ukraine.
