11.03.2025Day Ukraine's Attack Brought Ceasefire Offer
Morning headlines focused on Ukraine launching its largest drone attack against Russia since the war began, with Moscow reporting the downing of nearly 340 drones while confirming multiple civilian deaths. This aggressive move came just hours before crucial negotiations in Saudi Arabia between Ukraine and the US.

By afternoon, European rearmament dominated coverage as Von der Leyen urged member states to increase military spending to 3% of GDP, declaring "the time for illusions is over." This aligned with previous days' focus on European security independence amid US distancing.

Evening coverage shifted dramatically as Ukraine accepted a US-proposed 30-day ceasefire in exchange for immediate resumption of American military aid, awaiting Putin's response. Meanwhile, domestic tensions persisted between coalition partners PSOE and Sumar over defense spending, with a two-hour meeting ending without agreement despite government assurances military funding wouldn't affect social programs.
