Volodymyr Zelensky
Zelensky leaves White House unscathed as he buys more time
WASHINGTON — Unlike the shockingly ill-tempered previous meeting in February, US President Donald Trump and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky seemed determined not to look confrontational - despite their remaining differences.Zelensky wore a collared suit (although not of the classical variety), and Trump complimented his attire. The Ukrainian president also repeatedly said "thank you", which must have pleased his host, too.At his opening appearance in the Oval Office, Zelensky spoke little - or maybe he was not keen to, fearing that what he had to say was different from what Trump wanted to hear.Differences showed later, when the US and Ukrainian presidents appeared before journalists together with European leaders.German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President...

Nato leaders also appear eager to avoid a repeat of Zelensky's February trip to the Oval Office that ended abruptly after an argument
'No going into Nato by Ukraine,' says Trump as Zelensky prepares for White House talks
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has said the Ukrainian president can end Russia's war "if he wants to", but there would be "no going into Nato by Ukraine" as part of a peace deal.Hours before he was due to host Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, Trump also said there would be "no getting back" of the Crimean peninsula, which Moscow illegally annexed in 2014, eight years before launching its full-scale invasion.It follows Trump's summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska that resulted in the US president dropping a demand for a ceasefire and calling instead for a permanent peace deal.A US envoy said on Sunday that Putin had agreed to a possible Nato-like security pact for Ukraine.The Russian president has consistently opposed the idea of...

Thousands cross Channel in small boats since new migrant deal with France
LONDON — More than 2,500 migrants have crossed the Channel in small boats in the 11 days since the new "one in, one out" agreement with France took effect, figures from the UK's Home Office show.The plan proposes that for each migrant the UK returns to France, another person with a strong case for asylum in Britain will be allowed to stay.Around 28,000 people have reached the UK in small boats so far this year and more than 50,000 have crossed since Labour came into power in July 2024.Meanwhile, a boat holding more than 100 people was reportedly sighted in the Channel this week.A Home Office spokesperson said the people-smuggling gangs "do not care if the vulnerable people they exploit live or die, as long as they pay"."That is why this government is...

Global plastic talks collapse as countries remain deeply divided
GENEVA — Global talks to develop a landmark treaty to end plastic pollution have once again failed.The UN negotiations, the sixth round of talks in just under three years, were due to end on Thursday but countries continued to negotiate into the night in the hopes of breaking a deadlock.There remained a split between a group of about 100 nations calling for curbs on production of plastic, and oil states pushing for a focus on recycling.Speaking in the early hours, Cuban delegates said that countries had "missed a historic opportunity but we have to keep going".The talks were convened in 2022 in response to the mounting scientific evidence of the risks of plastic pollution to human health and the environment.Despite the benefits of plastic to almost every sector, scientists are...
