The nation’s foreign minister wants to speak with Moscow within the next 48 hours to gauge “transparency” as Russian troops remain amassed on the border.

Russia is continuing to deny it is planning an invasion, despite US intelligence suggesting the opposite.

There are now fears a full-scale war will eventuate before the end of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

The meeting would fall under the requirements of the Vienna Document, which is an agreement signed by a number of countries, including Russia.

Ukraine’s foreign minister says “if Russia is serious when it talks about security, it must fulfil its commitment to military transparency in order to de-escalate tensions”

This is despite ongoing diplomatic efforts between multiple European Countries, NATO the EU and Britain making extensive diplomatic efforts.

On Monday, Ukraine’s ambassador to the UK said Kyiv may backflip in joining NATO if that means it will prevent a war with Russia.

Trump gives Hamas deadline to accept Gaza peace plan amid rising pressure from Arab states and ongoing conflict in the region

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.

U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
