US Pauses Intelligence Sharing
- US has paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine alongside a military aid freeze, part of a pressure campaign to force its government to cooperate with the White House’s plans to end the country’s war with Russia.
- The C.I.A. director, John Ratcliffe, and the national security adviser, Michael Waltz, both confirmed the pause in intelligence support but suggested it could be short-lived if Ukraine quickly came back to the negotiating table.

EU Mobilises €800 Billion For Defence And Ukraine
- European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen revealed a comprehensive plan to mobilise approximately €800 billion for defence initiatives across Europe. This announcement followed the suspension of military aid to Ukraine by the United States, signalling a shift in Washington’s foreign policy focus.
- The plan aims to enhance Europe’s military capabilities and provide immediate support to Ukraine amidst escalating tensions with Russia. The defence plan emerges at a critical juncture for Europe.
- The suspension of U.S. aid to Ukraine intensifies the urgency for European nations to boost their military readiness. The plan was set to be reviewed at a summit on March 7, 2025. The proposal consists of five main components aimed at strengthening European defence.
- It suggests relaxing fiscal rules to allow member states to increase defence spending beyond the current 3% GDP limit. This could potentially free up €650 billion for military purposes. A new loan facility of €150 billion would be established to support targeted defence investments.
- The plan allows member states to redirect cohesion funds—typically used for development in poorer regions—towards defence initiatives. This repurposing is expected to enhance military capabilities across the EU.
- The fourth element involves creating a savings and investments union to facilitate access to capital for defence-related companies. The final component focuses on expanding the European Investment Bank’s scope to include military and police equipment investments.
- This adjustment aims to align financial resources with the EU’s evolving security needs. However, it excludes direct funding for weapons and ammunition. While the proposals offer a strategic framework, the timeline for mobilising funds remains uncertain.
- Approval from member states is required, and immediate battlefield support for Ukraine is not guaranteed. Analysts suggest that tangible results may take weeks or months to materialise, particularly as U.S. restrictions begin to impact Ukrainian military operations.
Rishabh Pant
- Indian cricket team’s swashbuckling batter-keeper, Rishabh Pant has been nominated for the prestigious Laureus World Sports Award 2025 in the comeback of the year category. The awards ceremony will take place in Madrid on April 21.
