The Telegraph: The Ukraine ‘peace deal’ is proving a scam
Vladimir Putin's negotiating tactics are characterized by deceit and aggression, as evidenced by continued drone strikes on Ukrainian cities despite claims of reaching ceasefire agreements.

As peace talks progress, the U.S. has shown reluctance to lift sanctions on Russian banks, signaling a shift from initial optimism. The ongoing conflict highlights the complexities of the negotiation process, with both Trump and Putin playing strategic games that complicate the path to a lasting peace.

Pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted British Business and Trade Minister Jonathan Reynolds during a speech in London, demanding a halt to arms sales to Israel, particularly F-35 parts. Reynolds stated that while arms exports to Israel had been suspended, F-35s remain crucial for national security and Ukraine's defense.
The UK government has suspended some arms export licenses to Israel, but F-35 components were exempt due to their role in a multinational program. British arms exports constitute less than one percent of Israel's total arms, and the government maintains that it adheres to stringent export regulations.
