The U.S. has set June as the target for Ukraine and Russia to agree on peace, Zelenskyy announced after UAE-hosted talks in Abu Dhabi that delivered a swap of 314 prisoners—the first in five months—and restarted U.S.-Russia military dialogues. Zelenskyy highlighted Ukrainian intelligence on Russia's 'Dmitriev package,' a proposed $12 trillion economic deal with the U.S. that draws widespread skepticism for exceeding Russia's entire GDP many times over. While no breakthroughs occurred on core issues like Donbas status or the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, upcoming Miami talks signal continued U.S. pressure, as Zelenskyy calls for strong security guarantees amid ongoing Russian strikes.

Key Takeaway

In a closed briefing, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared a surprising U.S. push: a June deadline to end the war, amid fresh prisoner swaps but unresolved disputes over land and security.

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's January 27 policy offers one-year residence permits to up to 500,000 undocumented foreigners who lived in Spain for at least five months by late 2025, targeting long-term residents like Latin American workers in agriculture and services. Videos of the Ceuta breaches, where over 400 mostly sub-Saharan Africans entered in early 2026 amid fence damage and center overcrowding, drew sharp criticism from right-leaning voices blaming the plan as an invasion trigger. Government officials defend it as matching social reality to rights and filling labor gaps, while overall irregular arrivals in Spain have dropped 60% early this year.

Key Takeaway

Amid stormy winds from Storm Leonardo, groups of young men scaled Ceuta's damaged border fence, celebrating as they crossed into Spanish territory.

His deputy pledged to carry on the fight.
