Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard insists the UK’s planned "coalition of the willing" will deter Russia from future invasions, despite scepticism.
He says the alliance will provide security guarantees to prevent President Putin from “rearming and going again,” stressing continued support for Ukraine to maintain peace and sovereignty.

The Armed Forces minister says the £2.2bn increase in defence spending is necessary in "these more insecure and dangerous times". Luke Pollard adds the money will be put towards "more advanced weaponry, directed energy weapons, more business going directly to UK firms and improving defence housing". Report by Brooksl.

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.

Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard says Lord Mandelson was “not right” when the British Ambassador to the US suggested Ukraine should commit to a ceasefire before Russia. The ambassador used an interview with American network ABC to say that Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky should give "unequivocal backing" to US President Donald Trump's peace initiative.

Russia has ended its 30-day moratorium on energy-related strikes—an informal ceasefire reportedly brokered by Donald Trump. With the deal now effectively dead, Russian forces launched long-range precision strikes on Ukraine’s drone production facilities, airfields, and weapons depots. The Kremlin accuses Kyiv of violating the truce through drone incursions into Russian territory, prompting what Moscow calls a justified military response. As hopes for a Trump-led diplomatic breakthrough fade, the region braces for renewed conflict.

In a dramatic move to end two years of bloodshed, U.S. officials shared a proposed ceasefire plan during closed-door talks in Paris. The deal would freeze the Russia-Ukraine war in place, allowing Moscow to keep occupied territories—for now. Ukraine’s NATO aspirations would be paused, and sanctions on Russia could be gradually lifted if peace holds. In return, Russia must end all military operations. The U.S. plan includes peacekeeping forces, ceasefire monitors, and postwar security guarantees for Ukraine. But critics say the cost of peace may be territorial compromise.
