The United Kingdom has called in the Russian ambassador in response to recent expulsions of diplomats. The UK government has accused Russia of engaging in a "malicious" campaign aimed at undermining its national security and providing support to Ukraine. This diplomatic move underscores the escalating tensions between the two nations amid ongoing geopolitical conflicts.

Two key advisers to Donald Trump have presented him with a plan to end the war between Russia and Ukraine if he wins the presidential election. The plan involves informing Ukraine that it will only receive more US weapons if it agrees to enter into peace talks with Moscow. Retired Lt Gen Keith Kellogg, one of Trump's national security advisers, stated in an interview that the United States would also warn Moscow that a refusal to negotiate would lead to increased US support for Ukraine.
