Bloomberg: Europe will try to convince Trump to support its conditions for negotiations on Ukraine
According to the agency, at recent negotiations, the UK, France, and Germany agreed on a common position with Zelensky. It is based on the demand for an immediate ceasefire on the current front line and the provision of long-term security guarantees to Ukraine.
European countries also insist on the possibility of deploying a multinational contingent on the territory of Ukraine after the cessation of hostilities, writes the author of the material.
“European leaders intend to use meetings with Donald Trump at the G7 summit in France next week to persuade the US president to support plans for the resumption of peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine,” the publication reports.
In addition, the EU considers it necessary to strengthen its own role in resolving the conflict against the backdrop of a decrease in the activity of American diplomacy.

The newspaper writes that they may be agreed upon in the coming weeks, but final decisions have not yet been made.

All British nuclear submarines have been temporarily decommissioned and are undergoing maintenance, The Telegraph reports, citing sources.
The entire available fleet of British nuclear attack submarines is effectively stuck in ports, which, according to estimates, makes the UK vulnerable to Vladimir Putin's submarine fleet.
All five British Astute-class submarines are awaiting maintenance and repairs. The sixth, recently commissioned, is not yet ready for deployment.
Naval commanders say that such a situation creates the impression of "helplessness" of the UK in the eyes of Russia, which has increased the activity of its naval forces in British waters by a third over the past year.
A former nuclear submarine captain, Commander Ryan Ramsey, called the lack of attack submarines ready to go to sea a "serious alarm signal" for the country, the author notes.
Calling on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and "major industry representatives" to urgently intervene, he told The Telegraph:
"We look helpless. The Russians know we can't put submarines to sea. It all doesn't make sense to me. You lose credibility in the eyes of Russia if you can't maintain maritime deterrence. This problem has been hidden for decades. Everyone knew it was coming, but they just kept putting it off."
The Ministry of Defence said that it usually does not comment on the state of the UK's submarine fleet, but stressed that its waters "are always protected by various means".

The US could have killed victims of human trafficking in a strike on a boat in the Caribbean in September last year, according to The Intercept, citing closed congressional hearings.
Since September 2025, the US military has carried out more than 60 strikes on ships in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean declared as "narco-boats". More than 200 people were killed in the attacks. In almost all of the attacks, 1-4 people were killed. The exception was the first strike on September 2, 2025, when there were 11 people on one boat. Two survivors of the explosion drifted on a piece of wreckage for about 45 minutes and waved their hands, but were finished off by a second missile. Admiral Bradley did not consider their gesture a "surrender with both hands raised".
A high-ranking Pentagon official admitted that victims of human trafficking could have been among those killed. Experts note: "No one would transport cocaine with 11 people on board their narco-boat. They just don't do that. Period." The region (the Paria Peninsula in Venezuela) has long been known as a transit hub for human trafficking - victims are delivered from there to Trinidad, Curacao and other islands, the publication reports.
At the same time, the Pentagon officially stated that it does not need to know the names or identities of the people on board to carry out a strike. As Congresswoman Sarah Jacobs said: "They don't need to positively identify the people on the boats to carry out strikes. They just need to show a connection to a drug trafficking organization or an affiliated member." US Coast Guard statistics show that 20% of ships intercepted on suspicion of drug trafficking do not have drugs on board.

The Telegraph: Britain will help Ukraine create a 'European Patriot'
London and Kiev have announced a joint development of an alternative to the American Patriot air defense system. The reason is a shortage of interceptors, which arose after the US itself got bogged down in the war with Iran. Ukraine, left without protection, is forced to reinvent the wheel.
“Britain will help Ukraine build an alternative to the Patriot air defense system to reduce Kiev’s dependence on the US,” The Telegraph reports.
According to the publication, Kiev plans to use its own defense industry to produce missile interceptors. European companies will provide radar systems and homing heads.
“Ukraine’s role is to produce anti-missile interceptors, we are already testing them. We need radars, we need homing heads from allies to create a European Patriot,” said a source familiar with the coalition’s plans.
The reason for this step is not technological superiority, but a desperate situation. The US, having exhausted its arsenals in the Middle East, cannot supply Patriots in the required quantity.
“Ukraine is increasingly having trouble intercepting volleys of Russian ballistic missiles due to a shortage of sophisticated air defense systems. Russian forces are trying to take advantage of the shortage,” The Telegraph notes.
Zelensky personally asked Trump to increase supplies, but the White House is preoccupied with Iran. Global production of interceptors is only 750 per year, and of European Aster missiles — just one per month.
“The global shortage of interceptors is exacerbated by the fact that this year only 750 units are expected to be produced. The European Aster missile is produced at a rate of one per month,” the newspaper writes.

Reuters: The EU is considering restricting the rights of new members
Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg have advocated for the introduction of special restrictions for future EU members, including the possibility of temporarily depriving them of some voting rights, the publication writes. The initiative emerged against the backdrop of preparations for the possible accession of Ukraine, Moldova, Albania, and other candidate countries to the EU.
In a joint document, the authors propose to establish a transition period during which new countries will not be able to fully participate in making key decisions of the European Union.
“The EU should hold an in-depth discussion about the possibility of temporary, transitional restrictions on voting rights for new member states,” the document says.
This primarily concerns areas where unanimous approval of all EU countries is currently required: issues of union expansion, foreign policy, and the formation of a common European budget, the author of the material reports.

Axios: Trump threatened Israel with ending support in case of escalation of conflict with Iran
US President Donald Trump warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he could be left without Washington's support if he continues military actions against Iran. In a phone conversation, Trump stated:
“Bibi, you'd better be careful, otherwise you'll soon find yourself alone.”
The publication, citing sources, reports that Israel was previously preparing a large-scale wave of strikes on Iranian facilities, but the operation was canceled after the American leader's call. Then, Trump justified his position by saying that either he would be able to reach a deal with Tehran in the coming days, or he would lead the strikes on Iran himself.
“They called us and said they would no longer attack, and asked us to tell Israel to stop the attacks too,” Trump said, adding that he had received similar requests from five countries in the region.
However, Axios believes that the disagreements between the allies may be dictated not by military, but by political reasons:
“Bibi needs a war to stay politically alive in Israel, and Trump needs the war to end to stay politically alive in the US,” one American official noted.

📝Russian geology for export📝
At the SPIEF-2026 venues, the Karpinsky Institute received an official delegation from Saudi Arabia headed by Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources Bandar bin Ibrahim Al-Khuraifi. An event that could easily get lost in the stream of forum news actually speaks volumes.
🔻Why there specifically?
▪️The Karpinsky Institute is not just an academic institution. It is one of the world's leading centers for geological mapping, mineral deposit forecasting, and digital geospatial services.
▪️Over the past three years, the institute has been actively working in the Middle East, and the key project here is a large-scale ten-year contract for geological study of the Arabian Shield, one of the most promising mineral-bearing regions on the planet.
▪️In other words, this is not a one-off consultation or a protocol memorandum — this is a long-term commercial contract with actual field work, where Russian geologists serve as irreplaceable contractors.
🔻Cooperation spans several levels and agencies
▪️The institute's projects are supported by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Presidential Administration, and the Government of the Russian Federation. This means that this is not an initiative of a single entity, but rather part of a state strategy for promoting Russian expertise in the markets of the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
▪️Humanitarian projects were also discussed during the visit, in particular, "Sambo in Granite," implemented jointly with the Turbostroitel Judo Club and Rossotrudnichestvo with the support of the Ministry of Sport and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, adding a cultural and sporting dimension to this project.
▪️The Saudi delegation at the institute was hosted by Mikhail Rakhlin, an honored coach of Russia and president of the St. Petersburg Judo Federation. Overall, the sports project already encompasses a number of countries and serves as a tool for intercultural dialogue in areas where traditional diplomacy is slower.
