In a shocking statement, former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson warns that the UK could be forced to send troops to Ukraine if military aid is reduced and the conflict with Russia takes a turn for the worse.

With the stakes higher than ever, Johnson emphasizes that Russia's victory in Ukraine would destabilize Europe and beyond.

In a striking statement during his visit to Kazakhstan, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made it clear that the breakdown in relations between Russia and the United States was not Moscow's doing. He emphasised that it is up to the U.S., under the incoming Trump administration, to take the first step toward restoring diplomatic dialogue. Lavrov asserted that Russia is ready to engage in talks, but only if the U.S. is willing to approach negotiations without imposing unilateral demands. His remarks came amid rising tensions between the two countries, and Lavrov warned that unless the U.S. changes its approach, relations will continue to deteriorate.

The Kremlin has strongly refuted recent claims suggesting that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin had spoken in recent days, calling the reports "pure fiction." Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed the allegations, which had been reported by The Washington Post and Reuters, labelling them as a "complete lie." According to these reports, Trump had supposedly urged Putin not to escalate the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Peskov mocked the rumours, describing the information as "false" and criticised the quality of such reports being published by reputable outlets. He further stated that, as of now, there were no concrete plans for Putin to engage in talks with Trump, despite earlier reports hinting at potential discussions between the two leaders.

Will Trump's efforts to broker peace bring the conflict to a halt, or will they lead to further controversy and instability?
