Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on Saturday that the United States had set a June deadline for Ukraine and Russia to reach an agreement to end the nearly four-year war. The announcement followed US-brokered trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, which produced no breakthrough, according to Euronews.
Zelenskyy's comments came after overnight Russian strikes on energy infrastructure forced nuclear power plants to cut output, as reported by Euronews. He added that if the June deadline was not met, the Trump administration would likely put pressure on both sides to reach a deal. Russia continues to demand that Ukraine cede the Donbas region, a condition Kyiv has repeatedly rejected.
In other international developments, the German army brigade in Lithuania is facing hybrid warfare tactics, including surveillance and psychological operations, according to Euronews. Soldiers have reported mysterious phone calls and drone activity, prompting questions about how NATO and the Bundeswehr should respond.
Meanwhile, in Greenland, Canada opened a consulate in Nuuk, with Foreign Minister Anita Anand raising the Canadian flag during an official ceremony, Euronews reported. The event, attended by around 50 people, highlighted Canada's opposition to claims by US President Donald Trump over the Danish autonomous territory, according to Greenland Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt.
Also, US Ambassador to Poland Tom Rose severed diplomatic relations with the Speaker of the Polish Parliament, Wlodzimierz Czarzasty, Euronews reported. "As of today, we will no longer maintain contact or communicate with Marshal Czarzisty of the Sejm," Ambassador Rose announced, without specifying the reasons for the decision.
