Ukraine peace: EU demands 'full involvement' on sanctions and Russian assets
LUANDA — European leaders have demanded to be fully involved in Ukraine negotiations for matters that fall directly under the bloc's jurisdiction, such as the economic sanctions imposed on Moscow and the immobilized assets of the Russian Central Bank.Both issues, alongside Kyiv's EU accession bid, were featured in the initial 28-point plan drafted by the United States and Russia without European participation, sparking concerns that the EU could be sidelined from talks about the continent's security.The controversial template was discussed on Sunday between American, Ukrainian and European officials in Geneva, Switzerland. As a result of the talks, the text has been amended and is expected to keep changing in the coming days."There is a new momentum in these negotiations,"...

Zelensky welcomes amendments to proposed peace plan
GENEVA — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has welcomed proposed changes to the controversial 28-point peace plan for ending the war with Russia.It appears Ukraine's European allies produced an amended version of the plan after rejecting parts which favoured Russia's war aims."Now the list of necessary steps to end the war can become doable..."

Zelensky ready for 'honest work' with US to end Ukraine war
KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he is ready for "honest work" with the US after receiving a draft peace plan to end the war with Russia.Several US media outlets report that under the plan, Kyiv would give up areas of the Donbas in eastern Ukraine that it still controls, cut the size of its army, and pledge never to join Nato.It was unclear how involved Ukraine has been in drafting the plan, but White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the US had engaged "equally with both sides".In a separate statement, Zelensky's office said that Ukraine had "agreed to work on the plan's provisions in a way that would bring about a just end to the war".If confirmed, the demands in the plan would appear to favour Moscow's interests.Zelensky said he expected to...

UK did 'too little, too late', leading to thousands more Covid deaths, says inquiry
LONDON — The UK response to Covid was "too little, too late" and led to thousands more deaths in the first wave, an inquiry into government decision-making says.The report also said lockdown may have been avoided if voluntary steps such as social distancing and isolating those with symptoms along with household members had been brought in earlier than 16 March 2020.By the time ministers acted it was too late and lockdown was inevitable, the report said, then a week-long delay introducing it led to 23,000 more deaths in England in the first wave than would have been seen otherwise.The report criticised the governments of all four nations and described a "chaotic culture" in Downing Street.Inquiry chair Baroness Hallett said that while government was presented with unenviable choices under...
