According to a Wall Street Journal report, NATO’s biggest European members want Ukraine to start considering peace talks with Russia. The UK has reportedly floated a defence pact with Ukraine which has the backing of France and Germany. They want to give Kyiv more weapons and security guarantees just short of membership in the U.S.-led military bloc, in order to encourage negotiations with Russia. This is because it’s been a year since the war broke out, and there is growing doubts over Ukraine’s ability to retake all of its territories from Russia.
