‼️🇺🇸🇷🇺 Russia does not plan to attack Europe, it has other goals, - Trump's Special Representative Witkoff

▪️This is how he answered the question of whether Russia would go further if it were “given” Ukrainian territories.
➖"This is a completely different situation than during World War II. There was no NATO then. Now there are countries that are armed. I take his words in this sense, and I think Europeans are starting to come to this conclusion, too," Witkoff said.
▪️For Moscow, “to a large extent, it’s about those five regions, and this is in his [Putin’s] speeches.”
➖“In Russia itself, there is an opinion that these are Russian territories, that referendums were held in these regions that justify such actions,” Trump’s representative added.
▪️Witkoff called for concern to “stop the killing, stop the carnage” that is currently happening in Ukraine.

Trump's policies are forcing the European Union to rethink its dependence on American weapons, the Washington Post reports, citing sources.

As the publication writes, European powers want to get rid of their dependence on American weapons. They have also begun to consider expanding their own capabilities for weapons production.

Several European countries have begun reviewing their American-made equipment to assess how vulnerable they would be in a potential conflict with Russia if Trump withdrew his support, according to four senior European politicians cited by the newspaper.

"Canada and Portugal have said they are reviewing future orders for F-35 fighter jets from US firm Lockheed Martin. And the European Union has largely turned down new loans to the United States as the bloc struggles to find hundreds of billions of euros to build up its military capabilities over the next five years.

Given the size of the American defense industry, which is the world’s largest arms exporter, European officials acknowledge that they will continue to buy off-the-shelf American weapons while they build up their own lagging capabilities. But the Trump administration’s unpredictability has also forced them to focus on modernizing their arsenals and developing their own manufacturing.

European policymakers also fear that the U.S. assistance needed to operate the sophisticated weapons they already employ - including missile defense systems, aircraft and armed drones - could degrade over time.

Rules affecting some systems require maintenance and upgrades to be performed by U.S. citizens, and equipment made by European manufacturers that includes U.S. components may also be subject to restrictions.

“It’s not like President Trump can just push a button and all the planes will fall out of the sky,” said one European official. “But there is a dependency issue, particularly around intelligence sharing and communications.”

The publication recalls Donald Trump's recent statement that the version of the new American F-47 fighter that will be sold to allies will have limited capabilities, "because one day, they may not be our allies."

‼️🇬🇧🇺🇦 Starmer's plans to send peacekeepers to Ukraine are 'political theatre' — The Telegraph

➖"Starmer jumped ahead with talk of ground forces before he knew what he was talking about, so we are hearing less about that now and more about aircraft and ships, which are easier to sell and don't need to be based in Ukraine," one source said.
▪️There are no definite assumptions about military or military-strategic planning. It is all political theater.
▪️Even if some plan is developed before Easter, its implementation remains a “political and diplomatic issue.”
▪️For now, the coalition being assembled by Britain is more focused on “intensifying political signals about our continued commitment to Ukraine’s security.”

"Denmark, controlling Greenland, is not doing its job and is not a good ally. So we have to ask ourselves: How are we going to solve this problem and ensure our own national security? If that means we want Greenland, then President Trump will have it. And he doesn't care what the Europeans are yelling at us. He only cares about American national interests!"

Arms dealers are watching the progress of ceasefire talks in Ukraine with particular interest, The Sunday Times reports, warning that the country is experiencing a real arms rush and risks becoming a paradise for a "Kalashnikov society" after the military conflict ends.

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, as of March 2025, Ukraine is the largest arms importer in the world - it accounts for just under 9%, and this is at a time when no one knows how many weapons are in circulation in the country, or what their future fate is, the publication notes.

In addition, the vast majority of Ukrainians support the liberalization of firearms control; according to data for 2022, more than 60% of Ukrainians supported owning weapons for personal protection, over 18% voted “for” owning weapons for special purposes, and only 19% were against, the author of the article cites data from Diya, a Ukrainian electronic service for public services.

Ukraine is already the only country
in Europe, where firearms are not controlled by law. Instead, everything related to firearms is regulated by a decree issued by the Ministry of the Interior in 1998.

Without a state buyback of unregistered weapons, experts fear that post-war Ukraine could become a “Kalashnikov society,” in which disputes that were once settled with fists are settled with guns. When Interior Minister Igor Klymenko tried to calculate how many guns Ukrainian citizens had last April, his estimate was between one and five million.

Ukrainians talk secretly about illegal weapons: hidden stockpiles, unregistered automatic rifles and grenade launchers hidden in gardens, tanks hidden in garages - all these hidden arsenals are another price of this conflict, the author of the article concludes.

📸 Amid a wave of criticism over Steve Witkoff's statements about Ukraine in an interview with journalist Tucker Carlson, US Vice President J.D. Vance expressed his support for the special envoy:

"Steve Witkoff is a great guy doing an incredible job. People who criticize him are angry that he succeeds where they have failed for 40 years. Turns out a lot of diplomacy comes down to a simple skill: not being an idiot," Vance wrote on social media X.
