Moscow sets far-reaching conditions for implementing US-brokered Black Sea ceasefire
KYIV — Russia will only implement a White House-brokered agreement to stop using force in the Black Sea when sanctions imposed on its banks and exports over its invasion of Ukraine are lifted, the Kremlin said Tuesday, adding further uncertainty to both ongoing peace negotiations and the wider ambition of establishing a full cease-fire.Following days of separate talks with Ukrainian and Russian officials in Saudi Arabia, the White House said the two sides had agreed “to ensure safe navigation, eliminate the use of force, and prevent the use of commercial vessels for military purposes in the Black Sea” while also agreeing to implement a previously announced pause on attacks against energy infrastructure.The agreements – which represent a potentially significant step forward, while...

Donald Trump is the first US president since World War Two to challenge America's global role
Trump has blown up the world order — and left Europe's leaders scrabbling
LONDON — This is the gravest crisis for Western security since the end of World War Two, and a lasting one. As one expert puts it, "Trumpism will outlast his presidency". But which nations are equipped to step to the fore as the US stands back?At 09.00 one morning in February 1947, the UK ambassador in Washington, Lord Inverchapel, walked into the State Department to hand the US Secretary of State, George Marshall, two diplomatic messages printed on blue paper to emphasize their importance: one on Greece, the other on Turkey.Exhausted, broke and heavily in debt to the United States, Britain told the US that it could no longer continue its support for the Greek government forces that were fighting an armed Communist insurgency. Britain had already announced plans to pull out of...

Netherlands wants to double its military personnel by 2030
AMSTERDAM — The Dutch Ministry of Defense has confirmed it aims to more than double its military personnel, from 70,000 to 200,000 by 2030.In a letter from the State Secretary for Defense, Gijs Tuinman, to the House of Representatives, he said that defense is "facing a major change," which means "that the Netherlands must be able to stand on its own two feet."In order to increase the size of the armed forces, the government will send a survey to all young people who are called up at the age of 17 to get them interested in serving.Completing that survey is still voluntary for the time being, but it could eventually become mandatory, as could an interview or a medical examination.The government also aims to increase the number of 'reservists,' those who work...
