A carefully worded statement was published by the President's office.
N.B. It's 254 days since Ukraine agreed to Trump's demand for a ceasefire. Trump's weakness is shown by Putin refusing.

Reuters reports Europeans are pushing back hard against the US backed plan that would force Ukraine to give up more land and accept limits on its military. France says peace cannot mean capitulation, while Poland insists the victim cannot be restricted from defending itself.

This video is reportedly from Ternopil. A little girl is injured and terrified by the Russian attack.
My heart breaks for Ukrainian kids and their suffering. I'm a dad myself. It's very hard to see what nightmares Russia makes of Ukrainian childhoods.

A strong immigration system doesn't need to be a cruel one.
It shouldn't need saying - but refugees & asylum seekers are real people, fleeing war and persecution.
This daughter of an immigrant is proud of our British and Labour values of respect and not turning our backs on people in real need.

The real issue isn’t immigration, it’s the feedback loop: platforms amplify anxiety → voters feel it → politicians chase it → hollow policy follows. Until we break that cycle, we won’t get functional decisions or functional democracy.

Putin's double... offices.
As long suspected, Russia's dictator has at least two mock-ups of his Moscow office - one near Valdai, more than 350km NE of Moscow, and one near Sochi, over 1,200 km S of Moscow.
He's spent most time hiding at Valdai since early 2022, analysis shows.
