Negotiations
Analysis: Did Starmer address the US public?
Keir Starmer may have addressed the US public during the press conference that followed the summit in London on Sunday, writes Sky News Deborah Haynes in a quick analysis.
She points out that Starmer used the term “coalition of the willing” when he spoke about peacekeeping forces as part of a possible peace plan. Interesting and notable, since the phrase was used by the US during the invasion of Iraq over twenty years ago, says Haynes.
DR correspondent Anna Gaarslev says that there has been a major change when it comes to European leaders’ views on security guarantees for Ukraine. There is no longer any doubt that it is Europe’s main responsibility, she says.
– Because it is not only Ukraine’s security that is at stake, but also our own.
DN's Erik de la Reguera believes that the British-French ambition to deliver a peace plan for Ukraine is the big news of the day. For the British, it is absolutely crucial that the US contributes with support in one way or another, he writes.
"It could be in the form of intelligence, help with combat command or air support from bases outside Ukraine."
Sources: Cyber operations against Russia are paused
US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has ordered that all US offensive cyber operations against Russia be stopped, sources tell the New York Times.
The decision is said to have been made before this week's row in the White House, and is described as part of a broader reassessment of all operations against the Kremlin. The newspaper links it to the US's attempts to include Vladimir Putin in negotiations on Ukraine and a new relationship with Washington.
The scope and timing of the halt are unclear, writes NYT, and points out that the line between what are offensive and defensive operations is often blurred.
Macron wants to see a month-long ceasefire in Ukraine: “In the air and at sea”
French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer want to see a month-long ceasefire in Ukraine. The French president tells Le Figaro.
The ceasefire that the leaders propose does not apply on the ground but in “the air, at sea and around energy infrastructure.” The advantage of such a ceasefire, according to Macron, is that it will be easier to control.
He also says that peacekeeping forces would not be deployed during the ceasefire, but that it is something that is expected at a later date.
– We want peace. But we do not want it at any price, without guarantees, says Macron.
Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyj tells the BBC that he has been informed of the plan.
