The UK will keep giving military aid to Ukraine despite Vladimir Putin demanding Western arms supplies to Kyiv come to a halt.

The Telegraph understands that there has been no shift in the Foreign Office position and British lethal and humanitarian aid to Ukraine will continue.

The Russian president said on Tuesday that a comprehensive ceasefire would only work if foreign military aid and intelligence sharing with Ukraine came to an end.

The European Union said this morning it would continue sending military aid to Ukraine, claiming Russia was not ready to make any concessions.

“What Russia wants is that Ukraine will let all the guards down,” Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat, told reporters in Brussels.

Germany plans to release an extra €3bn in military aid for Ukraine in a major breakthrough after Olaf Scholz, the outgoing Chancellor, previously blocked a new financial package.

Turkish authorities detained Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu – a key rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan – on Wednesday as part of corruption and terrorism investigations.

Detention orders were also issued for around 100 others connected to the mayor, including his press adviser Murat Ongun, according to state-run news agency Anadolu Agency.

The move came just days before the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) was scheduled to hold a primary election where Imamoglu was expected to be chosen as its presidential candidate.

CHP leader Ozgur Ozel called the detention “a coup attempt against our next president.”

Video from CNN Turk showed police wearing riot gear and dozens of security vehicles outside Imamoglu’s home.

The Ukrainian military allegedly attacked an energy site deep inside Russia after it announced a pause on long-range strikes

The Ukrainian military has attacked an oil transfer facility in Russia’s Krasnodar Region that services an international pipeline operation partially owned by American investors, the Defense Ministry in Moscow announced on Wednesday.

US President Donald Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the phone for more than two hours on Tuesday, with the two leaders announcing progress on the path towards a truce in the Ukraine conflict. Moscow agreed to suspend attacks against Ukrainian infrastructure for 30 days, with Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky publicly endorsing the partial ceasefire.

The overnight attack involved three kamikaze drones directed against a station near the village of Kavkazskaya, the ministry reported. The facility is used to transfer crude from rail-transported tanks to a pipeline operated by the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC), an international firm that counts US giants Chevron and Mobil among its partners.

 Israeli airstrikes pounded Gaza, killing more than 400 people, Palestinian health authorities said on Tuesday, threatening the complete collapse of a two-month ceasefire as Israel vowed to use more force to free hostages held by Hamas.

The Palestinian militant group, which still holds 59 of the 250 or so hostages seized in its October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, accused Israel of breaching the ceasefire and jeopardising efforts by mediators to secure a permanent truce.

Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said he had told the military to take “strong action” against Hamas in response to the group’s refusal to release the remaining hostages and because of their rejection of ceasefire proposals.

The Israeli military described the attacks as a “preemptive offensive” aimed at thwarting Hamas’ ability to launch attacks against Israel and to rebuild and rearm its forces. It said it targeted “mid-ranking military commanders, leadership officials and terrorist infrastructure” belonging to Hamas.
