Stunned Europeans make plans after US announcements on Ukraine
European leaders on the final day of the Munich Security Conference on Sunday sought to firm up how the European Union can move from talk to more action as Washington pushes to stop the fighting in Ukraine.
The Armed Forces minister has said the responsibility to end the war in Ukraine "is solely on Putin", as Russia and Ukraine agree to a Black Sea ceasefire deal. Luke Pollard adds, "we will continue to support our friends in Ukraine to guarantee their freedom and sovereignty for as long as it takes". On the leaked White House Signal messages criticising Europe, Pollard says President Donald Trump is "right" to call on European countries to step up on defence spending. Report by Brooksl.

Russia Ukraine Truce takes effect as the Kremlin releases a list of protected energy facilities under the US-brokered ceasefire. The agreement, effective for 30 days, covers oil processing plants, pipelines, nuclear sites, and hydroelectric dams. However, violations threaten the deal, with Moscow accusing Ukraine of targeting Russian energy infrastructure. Russia Ukraine Truce remains fragile, with tensions high and potential repercussions looming. If broken, both sides may resume energy strikes. Global stakeholders, including major oil companies, closely monitor the situation amid fears of escalating conflict.

U.S-Ukraine Tensions growing day by day. Zelensky rejects U.S. rare-earths deal, drawing sharp criticism from the White House, which labeled his decision “short-sighted.” The proposal, reportedly discussed at the Munich Security Conference, would have granted Washington access to Ukraine’s critical mineral resources in exchange for continued U.S. support. However, Zelensky pushed back, arguing that Ukraine seeks a true partnership, not a one-sided transaction.

Poland Rejects Zelensky’s Call For Unified EU Army, reaffirming its commitment to NATO. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski stated that a European military would not materialize, emphasizing that EU defense efforts should complement, not replace, US-led NATO security. Zelensky’s proposal, made at the Munich Security Conference, comes amid shifting US-European relations. While past EU leaders have supported a joint force, the Ukraine conflict has curbed such discussions, with Poland prioritizing close military cooperation with Washington over an independent European defense initiative.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has blocked a U.S.-led deal granting America access to Ukraine’s vast natural resources, citing a lack of security guarantees. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Zelensky stated that the agreement "does not protect us" and insisted that any such deal must be tied to firm security commitments. His move comes amid rising tensions as U.S. President Donald Trump pushes for direct negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war. With Washington appearing to prepare the groundwork for talks, Zelensky warned that "time is running out" and called for stronger collective action against Russia
