"A once in a generation moment" for Europe's security. That is how Britain's Prime Minister Kier Starmer is framing Sunday's summit, aimed at achieving peace in Ukraine.

Its the first movie from the Baltic country to ever be up for an Academy Award. We'll take you to Riga...where Latvians are celebrating the film as a source of national pride.
With Ukraine's Volodomyr Zelenskyy seated next to them, U.S. president Donald Trump and Vice-president J.D. Vance berate, scold and mock him and his country, even suggesting he provoked Russia into invading. Ukraine's President didn't take it quietly.
