Where the balance lands in Reeves’ big moment could hardly be more significant.

Last month, Ukraine agreed to accept a US proposal for an initial 30-day ceasefire, following talks in Saudi Arabia, while Russia has still to make a decision.The attack on the northeastern city of Kharkiv came hours before French and British military chiefs arrived in Kyiv to discuss the the possibility of allied troops being deployed to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire.

In March, allied countries met in the UK to discuss ending the war and defending Ukraine from Russia with a"There will be at some point a need for military capacity or reassurance, whenever peace is reached," the French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, said on Friday.Talking in Brussels, he was joined by British Foreign Minister David Lammy, who said Putin "could accept a ceasefire now, [but] he continues to bombard Ukraine, its civilian population, its energy supplies.

"We see you, Vladimir Putin, we know what you are doing," he stated, adding that the Russian leader "continues to obfuscate, continues to drag his feet".When questioned on whether negotiations were a delay tactic, Rubio reiterated Trump's stance on ending the war soon, and said they are "going to wait and see".

"The Russians know our position in terms of wanting to end the war, and we will know from their answers very soon on whether they are serious about proceeding to real peace or whether it's a delay tactic," he added, stressing that Trump was not going to "fall into the trap of endless negotiations about negotiations".

Senior Nato officials have told the BBC that there is no sign Putin is preparing for a ceasefire. Rubio, however, remains hopeful."There is no justification for compulsory redundancies at this time. Rather than slashing jobs, university leadership should be joining us in demanding proper funding for the sector."

A spokesperson for the University of Derby said they have had to respond to "well-publicised challenges facing the sector".They added the university "remains committed" to investing in high-quality, sustainable research.

"We must ensure our resources are channelled in support of an exceptional student experience and towards research that has the greatest impact in the UK and around the world," they said."In this context, the university is considering plans around the structure and resourcing of our research.
