Russian forces have failed to achieve their principal objectives in eastern Ukraine during the 2026 campaign, while Ukrainian counteroffensives have disrupted Moscow’s plans to encircle the Donbas fortress belt.
As Washington prepares renewed negotiations with Vladimir Putin, the widening discrepancy between Russia’s military claims and battlefield realities raises questions about the territorial concessions the Kremlin is demanding.

For Patriots for Europe, the immediate issue is not only the progress of the criminal inquiry but whether the financial arrangements of a dissolved parliamentary group can create obligations for its successor.

The United States is changing how it trains Ukrainian soldiers in Germany, transferring responsibility from rotating National Guard formations to active-duty Army units already based in Bavaria. The restructuring points towards a more enduring training arrangement, although its practical significance will depend on the resources and instruction that follow.

Europe wants cheaper energy, stronger industries, secure borders and the capacity to sustain Ukraine. Its budget negotiations are exposing the difficulty of paying for those ambitions while protecting established spending programmes and containing national contributions.

Russia’s unprovoked war against Ukraine, hybrid attacks and growing security threats have exposed gaps in Europe’s defence capabilities.
From joint defence investments and faster military mobility to stronger support for Ukraine and closer cooperation with NATO, Members of the European Parliament explain why Europe needs to work together to safeguard peace, security and its values.

The most dangerous assumption in Western politics is that normality is merely postponed. Survive Donald Trump, the argument runs, and America will resume its familiar position: reassuring allies, containing adversaries and underwriting an international system whose benefits outweigh its frustrations.
Serge Schmemann’s latest opinion challenges that comforting expectation. He is right to do so.

🔵 | Europe must move from condemning Russia to protecting Black Sea security and closing the Northern Corridor!
Attacks on Black Sea shipping, drones crossing borders, airspace violations. These aren’t isolated incidents. They’re putting Romania, Bulgaria and the security of the whole continent at risk.
Words of condemnation aren’t enough anymore.
Europe has to protect its borders, keep the shipping routes open and stop treating these threats as something we can just shrug off.
The European Parliament will vote on the resolution on Thursday.

The European Union has adopted a new Arctic strategy placing security at the centre of its northern policy, reflecting growing concern over Russian military activity, vulnerable submarine infrastructure and competition for control of emerging maritime routes.

Glad to meet young Ukrainian political leaders in Strasbourg as part of the @Europarl_EN programme.
We discussed the Special Tribunal for Russia’s crime of aggression and the International Claims Commission.
Parliamentary diplomacy is vital to ensuring justice and accountability.
On 20th November, European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will host the UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, in Brussels for the second EU-UK summit.
The leaders are expected to review progress since the first summit took place in London last year and discuss further ways to strengthen cooperation on defence and security, energy, climate, migration, law enforcement and other key areas.
