Zelensky seeks ‘binding commitments’ from Coalition of the Willing & US in first 2026 peace summit

Day 1,412.


Today, as military and political chiefs from the Coalition of the
Willing meet in Paris, President Zelensky continues to reshuffle
his top team, including the replacement of the man behind
Operation Spiderweb, a move that has been criticised in Ukraine.
We have a look at how 2026 is being reported in the Russian media
and, later, we speak to an analyst from the RAND corporation
about how AI is now being fielded on drones in the war.
