UK Defence Secretary John Healey said allies are ready to support Ukraine before and after a peace deal. Speaking in Kyiv, he promised help to secure skies, seas, and land once fighting ends. About 30 leaders will join a Paris summit to discuss security guarantees, with the US expected to act as the main backstop. Healey praised Donald Trump for keeping dialogue with Vladimir Putin open, despite criticism. Putin, speaking in China, said talks were possible but repeated demands on Ukraine. Meanwhile, the UK announced £1 billion from seized Russian assets will fund Ukraine’s military aid. (PC: BBC)
