London Summit brought together the leaders for Ukraine

The London Summit brought together the leaders of Ukraine, the UK, Denmark, Italy, Spain, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Poland, Romania, Finland, France, the Czech Republic, and Sweden, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and European Council President António Costa. Leaders discussed ongoing financial support for Ukraine’s defense industry, including investments in domestic arms production and increased funding for Europe’s defense sector. Sanctions against Russia, including frozen Russian assets, are to remain until a lasting peace is achieved. There was broad agreement that strong security guarantees must underpin any potential ceasefire, with consideration given to leveraging NATO mechanisms and strengthening Ukraine’s military. A ceasefire must begin with a prisoner exchange and the return of children, signaling Russia’s genuine commitment to peace. Leaders also emphasized the US role in ensuring sufficient support and transatlantic unity to end the war. A concrete plan, based on proposals from France and the UK, will continue to be developed, with European leaders set to present an enhanced defense strategy at an upcoming meeting.

EU Leaders rallied to defend Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

 European leaders rallied to defend Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance subjected him to a tirade of withering and infantilizing abuse in the Oval Office.

It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.” In what may prove to be a significant turning point in the tottering post-war Western alliance between Europe and the US, the Europeans pushed back against Washington’s increasing alignment with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and Trump’s browbeating of...

Trump administration’s freeze of foreign assets

 The Trump administration's freeze of foreign funding has begun impacting an international effort to hold Russia responsible for alleged war crimes in Ukraine, according to numerous sources and a Ukrainian document seen by Reuters, halting dozens of jobs and tens of millions of dollars in aid. Ukraine has opened more than 140,000 war crime cases since Moscow's full-scale invasion, which has killed tens of thousands, ravaged vast swathes of the country and left behind mental and physical scars from occupation. US-funded international initiatives such as the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group for Ukraine (ACA) have provided expertise and oversight to Ukrainian authorities. Kyiv has been praised by its Western partners for probing alleged crimes while the war is still raging. At stake are 6 US-funded projects at the Prosecutor General's Office (PGO) valued at $89 million, according to a Ukrainian document on the US funding and cuts seen by...
