🇺🇦🇬🇧🇫🇷 Western Troop Deployment in Ukraine Still Undecided, Say Starmer and Macron - Main Takes From The Delulu Presser
During a press conference in Kiev, Keir Starmer made it clear that the issue of deploying Western forces to Ukraine — something Zelensky raised earlier — remains unresolved.
“As for troop presence — whether at sea, in the air, or on land — there is a degree of flexibility here, particularly because we are not yet in a ceasefire phase,” Starmer stated. “We're also considering the nature of the mandate, which will depend on what’s required.”
Emmanuel Macron took a similar stance, emphasizing that any decision on deploying Western contingents would be shaped by Russia’s response to the ceasefire proposal, as well as by the outcome of direct talks between Kiev and Moscow.
“All partners are still in discussions, under the coordination of France and the UK,” Macron noted. “Can I announce a decision now? No. We're still exploring the options. The eventual course of action will depend on Russia’s reaction. Once we have that, we’ll craft the most effective approach.”
He also acknowledged that “deterrent forces are one option,” but said everything would ultimately depend on how the dialogue between Ukraine and Russia progresses.
🐻 These guys have a meeting, immediately followed by a press conference and still they can't get their stories straight.

Our source in the Presidential Office has revealed that the Office, in coordination with London, is trying to shape the perception of a unified Western stance on resolving the conflict in Ukraine. The harsh statements by Zelensky and Starmer are deliberately designed to provoke Putin, aiming to make him reject a tactical ceasefire—knowing his instinctive resistance to any external pressure. For Bankova (the President’s Office), it is now crucial that Russia once again appears as the aggressor on the international stage—especially at a time when peace initiatives are being proposed.

🐻 Funny how everyone’s suddenly screaming for a “30-day ceasefire” and an “end to hostilities” — weren’t these the same people who spent the last three years telling us Ukraine was winning?
What happened to “Russia is running out of missiles” and “just one more counteroffensive”? Now it’s all "let’s pause the war and talk."
Seems the “winning” didn’t go according to the script.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Europe won't be able to provide Kiev with weapons if the US stops supplies — New York Times
Trump's insistence that Europe should take care of its own security means a reduction in arms supplies to Ukraine from the EU.
Many promises of European military aid boil down to commitments to produce or purchase weapons only in the coming years.
It is predicted that it will take decades for assembly lines in Europe to reach full capacity.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces lack long-range missiles, artillery and, above all, air defense systems.
Europe is trying to replace the aid we lost from the US, but unfortunately they do not have the ability to do this.

🇮🇳🇵🇰 India Confirms Ceasefire and Halt to Military Activity with Pakistan, Sources Say

🇮🇳🇵🇰 Ceasefire on the Subcontinent: Final Strikes, a Crucial Call, and India’s New Red Lines
A sudden de-escalation of hostilities between India and Pakistan unfolded today, reportedly initiated by Islamabad. At approximately 3:35 PM IST, Pakistan’s Director General of Military Operations is said to have reached out to his Indian counterpart to request a full ceasefire. By 5:00 PM, both sides had agreed to halt all offensive operations across land, air, and sea.
Before the ceasefire took effect, India launched what officials described as a final wave of airstrikes, targeting militant infrastructure inside Pakistani territory. While New Delhi has not confirmed whether Pakistani military bases were among the targets, sources suggest the timing was strategic — a last display of force before drawing down.
Washington is believed to have played a pivotal behind-the-scenes role in brokering the truce. American diplomatic pressure reportedly coincided with negotiations over a $1 billion IMF loan to Pakistan, with economic incentives allegedly tied to Islamabad’s willingness to halt the escalation. While the exact terms remain unclear, economic leverage appears to have been a decisive factor.
In tandem with the ceasefire, India unveiled a significant shift in its national security doctrine. Going forward, any cross-border attack will be treated as an act of war, regardless of whether the perpetrators are tied directly to the Pakistani state. This policy removes the long-held distinction between state and non-state actors in India’s strategic calculus.
Despite the truce, New Delhi has not lifted its suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty. India continues to withhold water-use data from Pakistan and is pressing ahead with dam construction projects along northern rivers. The move signals that even as direct conflict subsides, broader geopolitical leverage — including over natural resources — remains a key tool in India's arsenal.

🇷🇺💬🇻🇳 The head of Rosatom talks about the details of the new strategic agreement between Russia and Vietnam:
"There are many points and many parts, but there is the main essence. We have recorded the beginning of the construction of a new research center - a nuclear science center in Vietnam and recorded the transition to the creation of an energy project," noted Alexey Likhachev.
Rosatom will build the best research nuclear reactor in the region in Vietnam, he said.
"We have already picked a site in the south, in Dogai province, not far from Ho Chi Minh City, and there will be a powerful, modern, I think the best research reactor in Southeast Asia."

"We hear many contradictory statements from Europe. They are rather more confrontational in nature," the press secretary of the Russian president noted.
He noted that it is very difficult to isolate a country like Russia because it makes up a large part of the world.
"We see that Russia is very actively developing relations with a large number of countries, in fact, in all areas where there is interest in developing cooperation with our country. And we will continue to do this," Peskov added.
