Biden’s withdrawal spells new uncertainty for Ukraine

The prospect of victory for former President Donald Trump, the Republican contender, has long concerned Kyiv, which fears he would choke off support and force Ukraine to sue for peace on terms that favor Russia. The Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion in early 2022, leading to more than two years of war.But while the Democrats hope Biden’s decision to drop out and endorse Vice President Kamala Harris will inject energy into their campaign, it's unclear whether it makes Trump's defeat more likely. Officials in Moscow, widely thought to favor Trump, were noncommittal.“The Ukrainians are pretty disappointed with Biden,” said Edward Lucas, a senior adviser at the Center for European Policy Analysis. “Biden’s dithering has a price, paid in the destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure and the slaughter of Ukrainian civilians, and in unnecessary battlefield casualties.“So although Trump might be worse … a continuation of the Biden line is already pretty grim.”

EU and US race to prevent Mideast war after Israeli assassinations

US and EU diplomats are holding urgent discussions around the Middle East in a race to try to head off the threat of a full-blown regional war after Israel targeted Hizbollah and Hamas leaders in Beirut and Tehran. eThe western diplomatic pressure comes as fears over a broader regional conflict soared as Iran and Hizbollah separately vowed to avenge the attacks.Officials said the talks were focused on convincing Tehran to either not respond or to carry out symbolic action, after Israeli diplomats told western interlocutors that their military did not plan further operations.“Everyone since last night is putting pressure on Tehran to not respond and to contain this,” said one western diplomat involved in the discussions.“Washington’s ability to shape events is likely to be rather limited,” said Jonathan Panikoff, a former senior intelligence officer who is now director of the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Middle East Security Initiative. “In the immediate term, Iran, Hizbollah, and Hamas’s responses to Shukr and Haniyeh’s deaths will drive the likelihood for a regionalised war or reversion to tit-for-tat attacks,” he added.
