🇬🇧🇺🇦🇷🇺British politicians have privately suggested "pressuring Ukraine to consider an acceptable way out of the conflict."

The BBC writes about this.

Although ministers will always say in public that it is up to Ukraine to decide when to negotiate and on what terms, "the government is aware that every negotiation must involve compromises."

"We have to think about what the quid pro quo for Ukraine might be. If [Zelensky] gives in, what will he get? Will he get NATO membership to guarantee security in the long term?" the former British minister asks.

🇺🇸🇺🇦Biden wanted to announce an invitation to Ukraine to join NATO after Trump's victory, but then abandoned the idea.

Bloomberg writes about this with reference to sources.

In an attempt to strengthen support for Kiev amid concerns that Trump would lead the matter to negotiations, the Biden administration "considered the possibility of publicly calling for a formal invitation to Kiev to join NATO."

But in the end, the White House decided to abandon this, "given the low probability of success in the short term."

The idea of ​​bilateral security agreements is considered more viable.

Also, the agency writes, although Biden is now trying to send maximum assistance to Kiev ahead of his departure from power, the US president's options are limited.

"Most of the remaining money can only be used for weapons already in the Pentagon's stockpiles. Cutting funds too much would jeopardize the US's own defense," the article says.

Pistorius called German security a "fragile asset" and called for more investment in it.
