It's taken three years for Putin to get a few miles inside a run-down country like Ukraine, but the Establishment still pushes the idea that he can roll over the rest of Europe. Is he really our enemy, asks James Leary.

Sometimes Trump's mercantilist thinking is so radical as to be wildly, crazily brilliant, as with the Gaza Riviera plan. But on Ukraine it's letting him – and the West – down, says Ian Rons.

Donald Trump appears to have blamed Ukraine for Russia's invasion of the country three years ago, telling Zelensky "You should never have started it" and dismissing his anger at being cut out of peace talks.

Keir Starmer has hit back at Britain's most senior judge, Baroness Carr, who criticised him for opposing a ruling by an immigration judge that allowed Gazan refugees to come to Britain under a scheme for Ukrainians.

US Vice President J.D. Vance has slammed European leaders for "criminalising" free speech, opening the immigration floodgates and brutally clamping down on dissent in his landmark address to the Munich Security Conference.

A document reported by Ukrainian media to be Trump's 'Peace Plan for Ukraine' has been leaked and includes a ceasefire by Easter, the ceding of land to Russia and no NATO membership.

Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday night that he was willing to cede territory to Russia to end the war for the first time on condition that Ukraine is admitted to NATO "fast".

The world is closer to nuclear war than at any point since the Cuban missile crisis. And to what end, asks Eugyppius. Merely to "send a message" to North Korea, it appears.

Volodymyr Zelensky has suggested that Ukraine would seek nuclear weapons unless it is given NATO membership as it needs a strong deterrent against Russia.

David Lammy has been widely ridiculed for suggesting soldiers show their support for Ukraine by "playing an instrument, singing, chanting, clapping, stomping your feet or honking your car horn". How about more weapons?
