Europe Today: Trump claims Ukraine-Russia energy ceasefire as Baltics stay on alert

Donald Trump says Russia and Ukraine have agreed an energy ceasefire. Volodymyr Zelenskyy says it was news to him. As he addresses the Warsaw Security Forum, we hear from Latvia's FM Baiba Braže, Doha after a deadly Riyadh airport attack, and France's debt fears.

Donald Trump declared an immediate energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, with the United States championing the agreement. However, the proposal for Ukraine to replace President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has raised concerns about the state of US-Ukraine relations. At the Warsaw Security Forum, Zelenskyy addressed the gathered delegates, striving to bolster European support amidst escalating tensions on the Eastern flank.

Reports from Latvia detailed a sobering situation as the country grapples with heightened tension, thanks to Russian drone incursions, airspace violations, and a wider campaign of hybrid pressure against NATO.

In Doha, Qatar, an attack on King Khalid International Airport left 12 people dead and over 300 injured. The Houthis, believed responsible for the assault, have issued warnings to airlines and passengers to refrain from visiting Saudi airports. Meanwhile, France is undergoing a challenging economic and political balancing act. Thousands of students are protesting, demanding increased resources and improved conditions, while the government battles to repair public finances under immense pressure.

Analyst Sasha Vakulina examined Trump's claims regarding the Ukraine-Russia energy ceasefire, discussing the specifics of the agreement and the implications of the US urging Ukraine to replace Zelenskyy. Maria Tadeo reported from the Warsaw Security Forum, where Zelenskyy engaged with European delegates in an effort to strengthen their support amid mounting tensions. Baiba Braže, the Latvian Foreign Affairs Minister, offered insights into the region's current state of affairs.
