Ukraine allies in Poland after Starlink sabotage, Trump diesel deal

Foreign ministers from Germany, Norway, Poland, and the UK gathered at the Warsaw Security Forum on Tuesday, amid ongoing investigations into a fire at a Starlink station in Poland and the US lifting sanctions on Russian diesel. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul criticized the US decision, stating that the sanctions regime should be strengthened, not weakened, as Europe remains firm in its stance.

UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband acknowledged the challenging past few days and emphasized the need to focus on actions taken over the past four years, aligning with Russia's aggressor and urging the victim to end the war. Poland's Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski called for a US base in Poland and urged Trump to convince Putin to limit his ambitions.

Norway's Espen Barth Eide welcomed the recent Russian sanctions and stressed the importance of actions taken in the past four years. Trump, facing criticism, confirmed that the US was still sharing intelligence with Ukraine and suggested that other countries would also purchase Russian diesel without breaching sanctions. Two Turkish citizens, suspected of connections with organized criminality and working for Russia, were arrested in Germany in connection with the Starlink fire.

Wadephul warned that Russia is targeting Europe, and emphasized the need to strengthen cooperation, but also praised Germany's security systems for effectively addressing the incident.
