It’s been a week that’s seen Ukraine brace for a fourth winter of war as President Zelensky shores up support amid reports of a secret 28-point peace plan involving territorial concessions and military cuts — a proposal blasted by European allies — while rolling blackouts, relentless strikes, and a corruption scandal trigger calls for a no-confidence vote. In Washington, a defining moment in President Trump’s second term saw a MAGA rebellion force through the release of all government and FBI files on the Epstein investigation, prompting a visibly irritable President to sign it into law while insisting it marked a victory for transparency. And in Britain, Labour unveiled a sweeping overhaul of the asylum system, with Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood championing a Danish-style crackdown on so-called pull factors as critics within her own party condemned the plan as performative cruelty.
