Europe shifts strategy, focuses on air and sea patrols
European countries are changing their approach to the conflict in Ukraine. They are moving away from sending ground troops and are looking at increasing air and sea patrols instead. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer recently met with military planners from 31 nations to discuss future strategies. This includes the idea of creating a peacekeeping force if a ceasefire occurs. Meanwhile, Russia has issued a strong warning against NATO troops in Ukraine, saying it will not accept their presence. This situation has led European nations to reassess their military strategies. In another situation, a massive fire at an electrical substation near London's Heathrow Airport caused major disruptions. The fire led to a power outage, closing the airport and affecting over 1,000 flights, stranding many travelers. Firefighters worked hard to control the blaze, diverting some flights to other airports. In Turkey, large protests erupted against the government, following the arrest of Istanbul’s Mayor, who is accused of corruption. Demonstrators clashed with police in several cities, defying a government ban on protests. This unrest is fueled by public anger over the mayor's detention just before he was expected to run in the presidential election. Overall, tensions remain high in various regions, as countries navigate military and political challenges.
