The Armed Forces minister says the £2.2bn increase in defence spending is necessary in "these more insecure and dangerous times". Luke Pollard adds the money will be put towards "more advanced weaponry, directed energy weapons, more business going directly to UK firms and improving defence housing". Report by Brooksl.

The Armed Forces minister has said the responsibility to end the war in Ukraine "is solely on Putin", as Russia and Ukraine agree to a Black Sea ceasefire deal. Luke Pollard adds, "we will continue to support our friends in Ukraine to guarantee their freedom and sovereignty for as long as it takes". On the leaked White House Signal messages criticising Europe, Pollard says President Donald Trump is "right" to call on European countries to step up on defence spending. Report by Brooksl.

Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard says Lord Mandelson was “not right” when the British Ambassador to the US suggested Ukraine should commit to a ceasefire before Russia. The ambassador used an interview with American network ABC to say that Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky should give "unequivocal backing" to US President Donald Trump's peace initiative.

In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes.

European Union officials fear US President Donald Trump may abandon efforts to broker peace in Ukraine. Despite campaign promises to end the war quickly, Trump has seen no major breakthroughs in his second term’s first 100 days. EU insiders suggest Trump may be crafting an exit narrative, frustrated by slow talks and Russia’s unwillingness to meet demands. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned the US may withdraw from the peace process. Meanwhile, Russia claims it’s ready for talks without preconditions but criticizes Ukraine’s lack of initiative.

A fresh wave of Russian airstrikes has killed at least eight civilians and injured 24 others across Ukraine, including multiple children. Ukrainian officials report intensified attacks amid Kyiv’s calls for a ceasefire. Among the dead are a 12-year-old girl in Samars, a 68-year-old man in Semenivka, and a child in Dnipropetrovsk. Air defenses intercepted 37 of 100 drones, while others vanished off radar. Deadly strikes continued across Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv, as the human toll of the ongoing conflict grows heavier by the day.

US President Donald Trump made waves on April 27, claiming that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is ready to give up Crimea, a statement that contradicts Ukraine’s position on the Russian-occupied territory. This came after their first in-person meeting at the Vatican following a tense argument in the Oval Office in February. Trump also discussed China tariffs and the controversial death of Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, making it a loaded press interaction that further fuels international tensions.
