Russian foreign minister says ‘still a long way to go’ in Ukraine war peace talks – Europe live
Despite ‘constructive’ trilateral talks, Russia is still pursuing its maximalist demands, including claims over Ukrainian territory
Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said that there was no reason to be enthusiastic about US president Donald Trump’s pressure on Europe and Ukraine as there was still a long way to go in talks on peace in Ukraine, Russian state-owned news agency RIA reported.
His comments just days after what the US, Ukraine and Russia said were difficult, but constructive talks in Abu Dhabi, but suggest that reaching a final agreement could be very difficult. Continue reading...

State-sponsored hackers targeting defence sector employees, Google says
Cyber-espionage campaigns are targeting employees directly, including through hiring processes, report claims
Defence companies, their hiring processes and their employees have become a key target of state-sponsored cyber-espionage campaigns, according to a report from Google released before the Munich Security Conference.
The report catalogues a “relentless barrage of cyber operations”, most by state-sponsored groups, against EU and US industrial supply chains. It suggests the range of targets for these hackers has grown to encompass the broader industrial base of the US and Europe –from German aerospace firms to UK carmakers. Continue reading...
