Kremlin takes Trump's "angry" statement in stride
On Monday, the Kremlin commented on Donald Trump's statement that he is "angry" with Putin after the Russian president called for a transitional government in Ukraine.
- We and the American side continue to work on our bilateral relations, which were enormously damaged by the previous administration, says Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov according to CNN.
He adds that they are working on "some ideas regarding the Ukrainian agreement", but does not provide any more details.
No new talks between Putin and Trump are planned, but can be quickly arranged if necessary, Peskov continues.
Political situation in Zimbabwe
Protests in Zimbabwe - despite the sharp warning
A small number of protesters gathered in the Zimbabwean capital Harare on Monday to demand the resignation of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, reports AFP.
Security was tight and the streets were nearly deserted after the government issued a stark warning to residents to stay home. The protesters who gathered were quickly dispersed by police with tear gas.
They chanted, among other things, “we don’t want 2030,” referring to a political campaign within the ruling Zanu-PF party to keep Mnangagwa in power after his term ends in 2028.
Mnangagwa, 82, took power in a coup in 2017, when he ousted Robert Mugabe, who had been in power since independence in 1980.

Frightened residents stayed indoors and closed shops
Very few people dared to heed the call for protests against Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa on Monday, and the streets of the capital Harare were almost deserted, writes AP.
The call came from a rival faction within the ruling Zanu-PF party, led by party veteran Blessed Geza, in response to a campaign to keep Mnangagwa in office after his term ends in 2028.
The government warned residents to ignore the call, and a large police operation was ordered.
Rumors of the risk of violence spread to the point that shops, public transport and schools were closed, among other things. The government called it a “flop revolution”, while Geza promised new initiatives.
“There will probably be no big revolt [...] but it is clear that tensions within Zanu-PF are high and that it is no longer possible to pretend that everything is fine,” says political analyst Pedzisai Ruhanya.
