Quotable: “It is the other France that is revolting today,” said Daniel Cohen, an economist at France’s top-ranked École Normale Supérieure. Far-right Ukranian activists rallied outside the president’s office in Kyiv last weekend. Sergei Supinsky/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images Will Ukraine cave to Putin in peace talks? President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine is scheduled to meet President Vladimir V.

Post-independence Ukraine has tilted from pro-Western to pro-Russian governments, and there are sharp divides there over how to deal with Russia. What to expect: Russia, which is widely despised by Ukrainians outside the country’s breakaway eastern territories, is expected to seek to trade away de facto control over two separatist zones. In return, the country is seeking influence in Ukrainian politics, including a veto on membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Gianni Cipriano for The New York Times The roots of Italy’s anti-migrant rage Public rage over immigration is a common explanation for why the League — an anti-migrant party in Italy that has threatened to drastically reorient the country’s place in Europe — has gained political support. And that’s clearly a major factor. Yet the foundations for the League’s rise were laid decades ago, as Italian textile towns were upended by global economic forces, especially competition from China. To understand this, our business correspondents visited a Tuscan city with [shuttered textile mills and a population of Chinese immigrants](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRfzHY8P0T_aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8xMi8wNS9idXNpbmVzcy9pdGFseS1jaGluYS1mYXItcmlnaHQuaHRtbD90ZT0xJm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmZW1jPWVkaXRfTUJFX3BfMjAxOTEyMDYmc2VjdGlvbj10b3BOZXdzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE0MzIyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTkzNDImdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUydGlvbj10b3BOZXdzVwNueXRCCgAbPPHpXVI4K5dSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~).
