Tuesday Briefing: Europe’s leaders discuss Ukraine

Plus, "Paddington in Peru"
Morning Briefing: Europe Edition

February 18, 2025

Good morning. We're covering talks about Ukraine's future and mass displacement in the West Bank.

Plus: Avenging people whose graves were desecrated.

Europe's leaders met on Ukraine as U.S. went its own way

European leaders convened in Paris yesterday to discuss a coordinated response as the Trump administration prepared to start its own talks with Russia about ending the war in Ukraine. The leaders were also expected to discuss military spending and how to guarantee Ukraine's security if a permanent cease-fire or a peace deal is reached.

It is unclear what an end to the war might look like: Ukraine has few options for reversing Russia's recent gains on the battlefield, and any deal is likely to require painful territorial concessions from Kyiv. At the same time, Russia is suffering about 1,000 casualties a day as well as huge economic pain. A settlement could pave the way for a reduction of Western sanctions. Here's what experts think could happen next.

Diplomacy: President Volodymyr Zelensky was in the United Arab Emirates yesterday for talks with Russia that are focused on prisoner exchanges and the return of Ukrainian children.

Tens of thousands in the West Bank have been displaced

A weekslong Israeli military operation across cities in the northern West Bank has displaced roughly 40,000 Palestinians from their homes. It is, experts say, the biggest displacement of civilians in the territory since the Arab-Israeli war of 1967.

While roughly 3,000 have returned, most remain homeless after more than three weeks, and some will have no home to go back to. The Israeli military has demolished scores of buildings in the areas it has invaded, ripping up roads, water pipes and power lines to destroy what it says are booby traps set by militants.

The Israeli military says the operation is solely an attempt to stifle rising militancy, targeting gunmen who they say have carried out or are planning terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians. But Palestinians fear it is a veiled attempt to permanently displace people from their homes and exert greater control over areas administered by the Palestinian Authority.

Context: Many of the displaced are descendants of refugees who were expelled or fled from their homes during the wars surrounding the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, a period known in Arabic as the Nakba. The renewed displacement, even if temporary, raises painful memories of the central trauma in Palestinian history.

A plane flipped over at Toronto's airport

A Delta Air Lines jet attempting to land at Toronto Pearson Airport amid strong winds and drifting snow crashed and overturned on the tarmac yesterday afternoon, finally coming to a rest with its belly up and at least one wing shorn off.

All 80 passengers were evacuated, but at least 18 people were injured, officials said. Two passengers, including a child, were in critical condition but were expected to survive.

Late last year, Michael Hirsch, a regular visitor to Most Holy Trinity Cemetery in Brooklyn, discovered that hundreds of inexpensive grave markers commemorating working-class Catholic migrants had been ripped from the ground. He decided to do something about the thefts — starting with getting in touch with the descendants of the people buried there.

An animated bear's lasting appeal

After "Paddington 2," a British film about the marmalade-loving bear, was released in 2017, it became an internet phenomenon. The third installment, "Paddington in Peru," is now in theaters, and it has already passed $100 million in global ticket sales.

"Paddington 2" had modest box office success, but DVD and streaming releases spawned a devoted community of fans who fiercely adore the outsider bear. For a time, that movie was the best-reviewed film ever on the site Rotten Tomatoes — that is, until one critic wrote a negative review, provoking what he said were doxxing and death threats.

Read more about what one fan called "the greatest film ever made."
