Exclusive: Trump considering pulling out of NATO & new Russian drone skewers Ukrainian aircraft in mid-air

Exclusive: Trump considering pulling out of NATO & new Russian drone skewers Ukrainian aircraft in mid-air

Day 1,497.

Today, as The Telegraph publishes an exclusive interview with Donald Trump in which he threatens to withdraw the United States from NATO, we examine the potential consequences for European security and Ukraine’s defence against Russia’s invasion. We also analyse dramatic footage of new Russian “jousting” drones reportedly being deployed on the battlefield, before looking at Vladimir Putin’s latest appeal to Russia’s billionaire oligarchs to help sustain the country’s wartime economy. And later, we reflect on the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster and the enduring legacy of the nuclear catastrophe that still shapes Ukraine’s environmental and security landscape.
