An opening gala was held at the National Theatre in Warsaw as Poland inaugurated its six-month presidency of the Council of the European Union, which it assumed on 1 January 2025.
Germany wonât send troops to Ukraine without U.S involvement, AFP reports, citing a government source. The decision follows US Defense Secretary Pete Hegsethâs refusal to deploy American troops as part of security guarantees to Kiev. Meanwhile, Poland has also dismissed the idea of sending its soldiers. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, however, signaled willingness to contribute troops post-ceasefire. Moscow warns that any unauthorized foreign military presence will be treated as a âlegitimate target,â while US-Russia talks on Ukraine continue in Riyadh.
