The Washington Post reported that U.S. officials are quietly acknowledging that Ukraine may soon have no choice but to negotiate with Russia, potentially sacrificing territory it considers its own. As Russian forces continue to reclaim land, particularly in the Kursk Region, and with Donald Trump set to return to the White House in January, Ukraine finds itself in a weakened position after nearly three years of conflict. The Biden administration's strategic shift includes authorizing the use of long-range ATACMS missiles and banned landmines to bolster Ukraine’s military stance ahead of any potential talks with Russia. Despite Ukraine’s rejection of territorial concessions, U.S. officials and European allies are concerned that Kyiv might have to compromise, especially as Moscow responds with increasingly advanced weapons, including hypersonic missiles. Meanwhile, Russian President Putin warns of severe retaliation for any further escalation by Ukraine or its international backers

As Ukraine’s military position weakens, the US and Europe are bracing for potential negotiations with Russia. US efforts to strengthen Ukraine’s position before Trump takes office may be in vain, as the country faces mounting losses.

President-elect Donald Trump has confirmed plans to launch the "largest deportation program" in U.S. history, utilising military power to carry out mass deportations of undocumented migrants. This announcement follows his election victory, during which immigration reform was a central issue. Trump has pledged to deport millions of illegal immigrants, focusing on stabilising the U.S.-Mexico border and addressing the surge in illegal crossings during President Joe Biden's administration. The program will involve military assets, with Trump amplifying the approach via social media. The initiative aims to significantly reduce the number of undocumented migrants in the country, impacting millions of families, with critics warning of potential legal and humanitarian concerns. Trump’s plan signals a tough stance on immigration, promising to restore what he describes as national security and order at the southern border

The White House has officially confirmed a policy shift, allowing Ukraine to strike targets within Russia using U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS). National Security Council spokesman John Kirby stated that Ukraine now has the green light to deploy these weapons for immediate defensive needs, particularly in areas like Russia's Kursk region. This move follows heightened speculation over the past week, during which Kyiv reportedly used ATACMS in strikes on Russia’s Bryansk region.
The U.S. and NATO allies have continuously supplied advanced weaponry to Ukraine since 2022 while asserting that this support does not make them direct participants in the conflict. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned of severe repercussions, including nuclear escalation, if NATO’s involvement crosses certain thresholds. In September, Putin emphasized that Kyiv's use of long-range weapons could alter the nature of the war, effectively drawing NATO into direct confrontation.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot has stated that Ukraine may use French missiles to attack targets in internationally recognized Russian territory, without specifying whether such strikes have already occurred. Barrot stated that Paris does "not set and express red lines" in its support for Kiev, and that long-range strikes on Russian soil may be carried out by Ukraine "in the logics of self-defense." France supplied Ukraine with an unknown number of SCALP-EG cruise missiles.

The US authorization for Ukraine to use long-range missiles deep inside Russia’s borders marks a significant shift in the ongoing war dynamics.

Environment secretary Steve Reed has insisted "only around 500 farms will be affected" by the new family farm tax. The plans to impose inheritance tax on farms worth more than £1 million have sparked fury among rural communities, with thousands of farmers descending upon Westminster on Tuesday in protest.
"The vast majority of farms will pay nothing more under the new scheme - that's been validated by the Independent Office for Budget Responsibility," Mr Reed added.

Russia has accused Ukraine of executing civilians in the Donbass town of Selidovo as part of a "false flag" operation aimed at framing Moscow for war crimes. Witnesses suggest Ukrainian forces and foreign mercenaries were responsible for the killings. The alleged massacre occurred just before Russian troops secured the town, raising questions about the credibility of the accusations. This mirrors similar claims from earlier in the war, such as the Bucha killings, where Russia denied responsibility and accused Ukraine of staging the scene.
