US President Trump said polls have consistently underestimated MAGA, accused attempts to suppress votes and claimed he won all seven swing states, the popular vote, 86% of counties and 99% of this year’s primaries, adding he is on the ballot.

Turkish foreign-policy expert Bilyal Sambur said Kyiv’s plan to step up strikes on Russian refineries breaches the laws of armed conflict, which prohibit attacks on civilian infrastructure, and signals more intense military action in the coming months and this winter.
