Poland proposes establishing European “heavy brigade” of troops to quickly respond to events in regions neighboring the EU without US participation, Polish FM Radosław Sikorski says.

“Events in the Balkans or North Africa are examples of situations in which Europe should not turn to the United States.”

The first Peace Summit on Ukraine will take place on June 15-16 in Bürgenstock, Switzerland.

But, Russia has not been invited "at this stage".

“A civilisation can die. And the end can be brutal...Things can happen much more quickly than we think,” French President Macron says.

Macron stands by his refusal to rule out sending Western ground forces to help Ukraine.

“If the Russians were to break through the front lines, if there were a Ukrainian request - which is not the case today - we would legitimately have to ask ourselves this question,” French President Macron says.
