Lord Ricketts ‘wary’ of UK peacekeeping force in Ukraine
Former National Security Adviser Lord Ricketts says he is “all in favour” of the UK taking a leading role in supporting Ukraine but is “very wary” of the term “peacekeeping” and suggests a “stabilisation force” would be a “better concept”.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was willing to put a peacekeeping force into Ukraine, ahead of his trip to Paris on Monday afternoon for a European emergency summit on Ukraine.
Ukrainian Officials Hit Back Hard at Trump. Ukrainian officials have strongly pushed back against former U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest attack on President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which he labeled him a “dictator without elections.” In a heated response, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrey Sibiga emphasized that Zelensky remains the legitimate leader of Ukraine, defending his decision to delay elections due to ongoing martial law. Officials accused Trump of playing into Russian disinformation and undermining Ukraine’s struggle against Moscow’s aggression. The controversy comes amid growing tensions over U.S. aid to Kyiv, with Trump suggesting that Zelensky is prolonging the war for financial support.

Zelensky has hit back at former U.S. President Trump after being labeled a "dictator without elections."

Trump has accused Zelensky of mishandling the war, misleading Washington into financial aid, and failing to hold elections. In response, Zelensky defended his leadership, citing wartime challenges and continued U.S. support.

A friend of Jaysley Beck has said sexual abuse in the Army is still going on years after the former Royal Artillery gunner's death. The body of the 19-year-old was found in a locker room at Wiltshire's Larkhill Camp in 2021. She had been subjected to relentless harassment from her line manager, Bombardier Ryan Mason, an inquest was told. Beck had also filed a complaint against Battery Sergeant Major Michael Webber who "pinned her down" and tried to kiss her at a work social. Former soldier Tamzin Hort compared being a woman in the Army to being "a piece of meat in a tank of sharks" and that "people get sexually assaulted left, right and centre, but nothing's done about it".
