Ukraine Conflict and Geopolitical Tensions
US-Russia Peace Talks on Ukraine Yield No Breakthrough
Despite a high-profile meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Moscow, officials from Ukraine and Europe accused Putin of only feigning interest in peace. Talks lasted five hours but produced “no signs of a breakthrough,” with the key issue—whether Russia retains occupied Ukrainian territories—remaining unresolved. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha and UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper criticized Russia’s approach, while the US and Russia withheld details of the discussions. The Boston Globe highlights Ukraine’s frustration over stalled progress, echoing wider European skepticism about Moscow’s intentions.

EU Agrees Landmark Ban on Russian Gas Imports by 2027
In a sweeping move to end energy dependence on Russia, the EU has reached a deal to ban all Russian gas imports by 2027, with earlier phase-out dates for liquefied natural gas and short-term supply contracts, reports the Financial Times, Politico Europe, and World Street Journal. The new legislation, finalized after intense negotiations, will permanently sever remaining ties and imposes stiff penalties for non-compliance. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called it “a good day for Europe and for our independence from Russian fossil fuels.” The ban will be phased, with spot purchases banned immediately and pipeline gas prohibited from September 2027, accommodating concerns from landlocked member states.

EU Passes First Bloc-Wide Anti-Corruption Law—Critics Say It’s Too Weak
Politico Europe reports the EU has struck a deal on its first bloc-wide anti-corruption law, harmonizing definitions and penalties but granting member states significant leeway in enforcement. While the law is seen as a necessary first step, critics—including Transparency International—argue it falls short of what is needed, lacking strict requirements for independent oversight bodies. Key provisions on abuse of office were watered down amid opposition from Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands. The Commission plans a new anti-corruption strategy in 2026.
