Spain is joining the joint purchases of U.S. military equipment by NATO countries for shipment to Ukraine. The decision was confirmed by Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez upon arriving at the meeting of the European Council this Thursday in Brussels. This is a proposal that NATO launched a few weeks ago. I had the opportunity to speak with President Zelenskiy [] and I informed him that we were going to join this program, the Spanish leader stated in response to questions from the media.

It needs a security mechanism that triggers action automatically, not after collective consultations and individual deliberations. In recent months, a new baseline idea has taken hold in European and United States debates on Ukraine: Article 5like guarantees.

Earlier this year, Donald Trump asserted that Vladimir Putin had all the cards and urged Volodymyr Zelenskyy to make peace in terms that resembled surrender. This week, Mr Trump declared that Kyiv might achieve total victory, liberating all territory currently under Russian occupation.

After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form," Trump wrote in his social media platform Truth Social.

Sir Richard Moore said the Russian dictator is "stringing us along" as he has failed at every turn to broker a peace deal as he is doing nothing but spreading his "lies to the world." Come 24 February 2026 Russia's full-scale war with Ukraine will enter its fourth year and there is no signs of any peace deal. The UK's spy chief said there is "absolutely no evidence" that Putin wants peace as he will "impose his imperial will by all means at his disposal."
