U.S. allies called an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Monday after a series of incidents raised alarm about growing Russian threats to Europe.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow would uphold the restrictions on nuclear weapons agreed under the New START Treaty with the U.S. for one year after it expires in February 2026.

The security manager had spent the day monitoring reporters near the Ukrainian front lines, or others in Kyiv who’d taken shelter during a missile bombardment. But he noticed Gershkovich had missed two check-ins and was ordering the New Jersey team to keep trying him. “Shit,” he texted back, then fired off a message to senior editors.

The former magazine editor faced up to 10 years behind bars in Russia before he agreed to fight on the frontlines.

Russian President Vladimir Putin will make "a number of important statements" at a meeting of the Kremlin's Security Council on Monday, his spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to state media. The "operational meeting" will take place after around 3:30 p.m. Moscow time (8:30 a.m. ET), Peskov added.

President Vladimir Putin has concluded that military escalation is the best way to force Ukraine into talks on his terms and that Donald Trump is unlikely to do much to bolster Kyiv’s defenses, according to people close to the Kremlin.
