🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian FM Lavrov on Trump’s call for a ceasefire: “They call for an energy ceasefire, a food ceasefire, an air ceasefire, a maritime ceasefire. NONE of this is intended to achieve peace. We have been convinced of this, repeatedly. We insist not on a temporary ceasefire. This has happened many times before… We insist on reliably eliminating the root causes of the crisis.” In other words, Russia wants ALL or nothing, no half-measures like a “temporary ceasefire.” Writer: Mhedi

The UK has announced changes to its immigration rules, extending the qualifying period for permanent residency, known as indefinite leave to remain, from five to 10 years for most immigrants. The new rules, set to take effect next year, will link eligibility to income.

Everyone else will be placed on a ten-year pathway, with an exception for care workers. Care workers will be able to apply for settlement after five years, provided they meet their visa conditions and earn at least £25,000 ($33,500) annually.
