08.06.2025Day US Ultimatum Disrupted Ukraine Peace Talks As Pope Lay In State

Pope Francis's body was moved to St Peter's Basilica for public viewing, with over 20,000 mourners gathering to pay respects. The display will continue for three days before Saturday's funeral.

The planned London peace talks for Ukraine faced a significant setback as Trump's envoys withdrew. By midday, Vice President JD Vance issued an ultimatum that the US would "walk away" unless Ukraine and Russia accepted their peace proposal. Trump later claimed a deal was "very close" while criticizing Zelensky for refusing to concede Crimea, stating the Ukrainian president had "no cards to play" and was jeopardizing peace.

In other developments, an unqualified paddleboard instructor was jailed for over 10 years for the deaths of four people in Britain's worst paddleboarding tragedy, while Prince Louis's seventh birthday was marked with a photo shared by Kate and William showing his missing front teeth.
