Trump pressures Zelenskyy on controversial peace deal as Ukraine’s military future hangs in the balance amid rising stakes.
US President Donald Trump is ramping up pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, urging him to accept a highly controversial peace proposal as the fourth anniversary of Russia’s invasion approaches. The political stakes are rising fast, with international leaders watching closely.
In today’s interview, Prof Tim Harcourt from UTS breaks down how Europe and the US could boost support for Ukraine, the fallout from Germany’s past energy dependence on Russia, and what the leaked 28-point draft plan actually involved. We dive into how Zelenskyy views the mounting pressure and the concessions demanded by the proposal.
We also explore how the plan could reshape Ukraine’s military capabilities, the reactions of European leaders, and what experts from Chatham House fear about Trump’s increasing influence over the conflict. Plus, what long-term consequences Ukraine may face depending on its next move.

Jim Jordan urges Australia’s eSafety Commissioner to testify, sparking debate on foreign censorship and U.S. free speech.
U.S. Congressman Jim Jordan has ignited a political firestorm by demanding Australia’s eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, testify before Congress. He alleges that Australia is enforcing a “foreign censorship regime” that threatens American free speech, escalating tensions between global regulators and U.S. lawmakers.
In this episode, we speak with Prof Chris Berg from RMIT University to unpack the implications of Australia’s Online Safety Act on U.S. platforms and how global content moderation rules are increasingly colliding with national free speech protections.
We also explore the growing debate over whether Australia’s efforts to regulate harmful online content extend too far beyond its borders, and what this clash might mean for the future relationship between Canberra and Washington.

EU stalls COP30 climate deal over fossil fuel concerns
COP30 summit stalls as EU rejects draft deal, calling for stronger climate commitments and fossil fuel discussions
COP30 summit stalls as EU rejects draft deal, calling for stronger climate commitments and fossil fuel discussions
– COP30 in Brazil is stalled as the EU rejected a draft deal over climate change concerns.
– Emerging economies demand stronger financial commitments and clearer fossil fuel policies amidst ongoing negotiations.
Emerging economies have voiced dissatisfaction with the EU’s stance, demanding greater financial commitments for climate adaptation. A negotiator from a developing country asserted the necessity of pathways for both fossil fuel use and climate finance.
The ongoing rifts on fossil fuel references and emission reduction strategies have highlighted the challenges of reaching consensus at COP30. A recently released draft omitted fossil fuel topics entirely, despite earlier calls from approximately 80 countries for a clearer shift away from these sources.
The EU criticized the draft for being inadequate, with Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra firmly opposing it. EU negotiators are considering withdrawing from discussions if their demands for strong emission-cutting actions are not met.
Fossil Fuel Focus
The draft also proposed tripling climate adaptation financing by 2030, although it failed to specify the sources of this funding. Achieving a consensus among nearly 200 participating countries remains critical for any deal’s approval. Corrêa do Lago stressed the importance of a unified message to the world, particularly in light of the U.S.’s absence under President Trump, who has dismissed climate change.
