25.03.2025Black Sea Ceasefire Negotiation Day While Émile's Grandparents Arrested
The morning brought breakthrough news in the case of French toddler Émile with grandparents and family members arrested in connection with his death, after they had spoken at his funeral. Military readiness continued as the central theme with the cabinet wanting the military permanently prepared for war, exploring Polish recruitment methods.

By midday, Richard K. received a life sentence for the double murder in Weiteveen, while political chaos erupted over Justice Minister Coenradie's prison reform plan, with insufficient votes to block early prisoner releases.

The evening saw significant diplomatic developments as the US announced an agreement between Russia and Ukraine regarding Black Sea shipping, though the Kremlin later insisted sanctions must be lifted before any ceasefire. This development suggested potential momentum toward the "first step toward a peace deal" as characterized by Trouw, continuing the week's focus on international security concerns.
