Europe Rejects U.S. Peace Framework Demanding Ukrainian Concessions

Ukraine suffered one of the worst Russian attacks in months when drones and missiles hit Ternopil.  European leaders have firmly rejected a U.S.-backed peace proposal that would require Ukraine to surrender territory and scale back its military capabilities. The plan, reportedly drafted by Washington and discussed with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has been described by European officials as tantamount to forcing Kyiv into capitulation. According to reports, the framework envisions Ukraine giving up land to Russia and partially disarming its armed forces. This approach has sparked alarm across Europe, where officials insist that any peace plan must respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and involve both Kyiv and European partners in negotiations. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas emphasized that “for any plan to work, it needs Ukrainians and Europeans on board,” underscoring the bloc’s position that decisions about Ukraine’s future cannot be made without its direct involvement.

Escalation in Sudan: RSF Drone Strikes Hit Key Targets in Port Sudan

Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) launched drone strikes on Port Sudan early Tuesday, targeting critical infrastructure including the airport, port, and a hotel. This marks the second attack on the city within a week, further intensifying the ongoing conflict.

The strikes disrupted air traffic, with multiple flights canceled at Cairo airport, which serves as a key transit hub for Sudan-bound travelers. Local media reported explosions and fires at the port and airport, with footage showing thick smoke rising over the area. Residents described waking up to loud blasts and witnessing flames engulf parts of the city.

Port Sudan has served as a refuge for displaced civilians and humanitarian organizations since the war erupted in April 2023. The RSF’s latest assault is seen as retaliation for recent military strikes on its base at Nyala airport in South Darfur. The paramilitary group has increasingly relied on drone warfare, allegedly receiving arms shipments from external allies, though these claims remain disputed.

The attack underscores the prolonged instability in Sudan, where two years of fighting have led to widespread displacement and famine. With no immediate resolution in sight, the conflict continues to threaten civilian lives and critical infrastructure.
