Lord Ricketts ‘wary’ of UK peacekeeping force in Ukraine
Former National Security Adviser Lord Ricketts says he is “all in favour” of the UK taking a leading role in supporting Ukraine but is “very wary” of the term “peacekeeping” and suggests a “stabilisation force” would be a “better concept”.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was willing to put a peacekeeping force into Ukraine, ahead of his trip to Paris on Monday afternoon for a European emergency summit on Ukraine.
A Ukrainian drone reportedly struck a stadium in Russia’s Belgorod region, as seen in a viral video shared by Russian Telegram channels. The strike is believed to be in direct retaliation for Russia’s recent large-scale aerial assault, which involved 25 cruise missiles and nearly 600 drones targeting Ukrainian cities. While Russian authorities have yet to confirm, first responders were spotted at the scene. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy continues to push for more weapons, stating the only way to stop attacks is by targeting the source of drone supplies fueling Russia’s aggression.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has begun a high-stakes three-day visit to North Korea, underscoring deepening military ties between Moscow and Pyongyang amid the Ukraine war. Lavrov praised the “invincible brotherhood” between the nations during talks with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui in Wonsan. Notably, North Korea had deployed troops to aid Russian forces in repelling Ukraine’s invasion of the Kursk region in 2024.
Lavrov specifically commended the sacrifices of the Korean People’s Army in retaking Sudzha and surrounding villages from what he called “Ukrainian Nazis.” With Kyiv’s offensive now crushed, North Korea is sending more troops for reconstruction efforts in Kursk. Lavrov’s visit signals Russia’s growing pivot towards pariah states as it faces Western isolation. Shoigu confirmed 6,000 North Korean troops would aid with demining and engineering.

Britain and France have unveiled a powerful new nuclear cooperation pact — dubbed the Northward Declaration — pledging deeper coordination of their arsenals amid rising European tensions. British PM Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced the agreement in a joint statement, vowing unified deterrence against any "extreme threat" to the continent. Russia reacted sharply, calling the pact part of NATO's "anti-Russian canvas" and warning it would be considered in future military planning. Moscow has condemned the UK-France coordination as a dangerous escalation and an extension of Washington's influence in Europe. With nearly 500 nuclear warheads combined, the UK and France’s alignment significantly alters the nuclear landscape in Europe. Macron denied any link to Ukraine but said the pact "sends a message" to allies and enemies alike. Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov warned Moscow will now factor London and Paris’ joint nuclear force into its military strategy.

In a landmark move, the UK and France have signed a historic agreement to coordinate their nuclear forces in response to growing threats—particularly from Russia. The pact strengthens joint deterrence capabilities and marks a unified European nuclear posture not seen before. The deal also expands their Joint Expeditionary Force to 50,000 troops. Leaders Macron and Starmer called it a “renewed vision” for European security, reaffirming support for Ukraine and warning against easing pressure on Putin as war escalates.
