Ukrainian peace talks and an emergency summit of European leaders continue to dominate Tuesday’s headlines.

The Guardian, the Daily Mirror and The Times lead on the aftermath of an emergency security meeting in Paris, where Sir Keir Starmer urged the US to provide a “backstop” to European peacekeeping forces.

Meanwhile, Metro says the Prime Minister has launched a “charm offensive” to stand up for Ukraine as Russia and the US meet for peace talks.

But the Daily Telegraph reports Germany rejected the Prime Minister’s plans for Europe to deploy troops to Ukraine as part of any peace deal.

And the Independent writes that European nations are “split” on whether to match the UK’s pledge to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he will reject any deal that does not include Kyiv in negotiations, the Financial Times reports.

The i says Britain is bracing for more cuts in a bid to boost defence spending as the Prime Minister warns of an “existential threat” to Europe.

The Daily Mail leads on Kemi Badenoch’s declaration of war on “poisonous” ideologies and in defence of free speech.

Up to nine million pensioners were living in “uncomfortably cold homes” after cuts to winter fuel payments, according to the Daily Express.

Lastly, the Daily Star reports Gen Z are “bonkers for bangers” as they ditch vegan diets in droves.
