UK PM Warns Putin Would Violate Ukraine Peace Deal Without Firm Security Measures
Russian President Vladimir Putin would break any peace agreement with Ukraine if it lacked strong security guarantees, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has warned following a high-level military meeting in London. He stressed that any ceasefire deal would only be sustainable if backed by solid security arrangements to deter Russian aggression. Speaking at the Permanent Joint Headquarters in Northwood, London, where over 20 countries convened for a confidential discussion on military support for Ukraine, Sir Keir underscored the necessity of military preparedness. He emphasized that the international community must move from "political momentum" to "military planning," stating, "It is vitally important we do that work because we know one thing for certain, which is a deal without anything behind it is something that Putin will breach. We know that because it happened before. I'm absolutely clear in my mind it will happen again." The UK prime minister made it clear that while support for Ukraine is crucial, British troops currently stationed in other countries, such as Estonia, would not be withdrawn to aid Kyiv. "There's no pulling back from our commitments to other countries," he affirmed. UK Defence Secretary John Healey was also present at the closed-door session, which involved military leaders from what Sir Keir has termed the "coalition of the willing." Downing Street indicated that these officials were engaged in "granular planning" regarding potential troop deployments, though the precise details remain under discussion. The UK initiated the meeting following a summit attended by 26 nations earlier this month. Military and diplomatic sources have suggested that any proposed troop presence should be framed as a "reassurance force" rather than a "peacekeeping force." Meanwhile, Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard clarified that discussions were still in the early stages, stating, "We're not yet talking about numbers because we're still designing the shape of the force." He provided an example, explaining, "If one nation offers fast jet combat air, like a Typhoon aircraft for instance, how will the other nations work alongside it? Where will it refuel? How will it operate with other nations' capabilities?" His remarks underscored the complexity of coordinating multinational military efforts. Earlier in the day, Sir Keir visited the Port of Barrow in Cumbria, the site where the UK's nuclear submarines are built. He told reporters that the discussions in London focused on ensuring Ukraine's security across land, sea, and air. "We are looking at how to keep the skies, and the seas, and the borders safe in Ukraine," he said. As these talks unfold, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Russia to cease its "unnecessary demands that only prolong the war." Speaking in Norway, he reinforced Ukraine's commitment to a peaceful resolution but stressed that Russia's stance remains a major obstacle. Additionally, he announced that Ukrainian officials would meet with their US counterparts in Saudi Arabia on Monday, coinciding with confirmed US-Russia discussions scheduled for the same day. These developments occur as the US continues efforts to negotiate a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine after more than three years of conflict. Both Zelensky and Putin have agreed to a truce in principle during talks with US representatives, but disagreements over key conditions have so far prevented a formal agreement from taking shape.

Motorcyclist Crashes into Bridge Pillar in Nakhon Si Thammarat
Picture courtesy of Khoasod. A crash occurred on a construction bypass road in Chawang District, Nakhon Si Thammarat, when a motorcyclist unfamiliar with the route lost control and crashed into a bridge pillar, losing his life. The incident took place on 20 March at around 16:00, when police and rescue teams were called to the scene of the crash. The victim, a 48-year-old man, was found trapped beneath a bridge beam near the ongoing construction of a new bridge crossing the Taphi River. Upon arrival, emergency responders found the man’s Honda motorcycle lodged against a pillar, with the rider’s body severely injured and stuck under the bridge’s beam. Rescue teams had to use ropes to retrieve both the body and the motorcycle from the location. The victim has been identified as a local man from Khao Phra Subdistrict, Phikun District, Nakhon Si Thammarat. According to investigations, the man was travelling towards Chawang District when he encountered the construction detour. Authorities believe the motorcyclist, unfamiliar with that diverted route, lost control and veered off course, colliding with the bridge pillar before being thrown beneath the bridge’s beam, resulting in his death. Police suspect the man was driving at high speed, which, combined with the unfamiliarity of the detour, led to the fatal crash. The body was later sent to Siamruamjai Hospital for further examination, and an official investigation into the incident is ongoing. Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash, and the family of the deceased has been informed. -- 2025-03-21 -

Two Brothers Arrested for Stabbing Neighbour to Death in Sakhon Nakhon
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Two brothers have been arrested in Sakhon Nakhon after allegedly stabbing their 74-year-old neighbour to death in what they claim was an act of self-defence. The incident occurred in Non Rang village, Bong Tai sub-district, Sawang Daen Din district. According to reports, the suspects, identified as 44-year-old Suthep and 41-year-old Krungchon, entered the victim’s home armed with a five-inch kitchen knife and a wooden club. The victim, Thongin, sustained severe injuries to his head, face, and chest. Following the attack, the suspects took the victim’s shotgun and barricaded themselves in their home across the street. Police, led by Pol. Col. Chatchawan Duangkaew, surrounded the suspects’ residence and persuaded their mother, Pornchai, to assist in negotiations. After some resistance, officers managed to subdue the brothers and take them into custody. During questioning, the suspects claimed that Thongin had first fired a shotgun at them during a dispute over property damage. Suthep alleged that he was defending his mother, whom the victim had threatened. However, the victim’s granddaughter, Ann refuted their claims, stating that the two brothers had a long history of violent behaviour and had often harassed her grandfather. Authorities later recovered the victim’s shotgun from a pond behind the suspects’ house, along with the knife used in the attack. The suspects, both of whom appeared intoxicated during their arrest, provided conflicting statements. While Suthep denied using illegal drugs apart from cannabis, Krungchon admitted to drug use. Witnesses in the village confirmed that the families had longstanding disputes. Both men are now in police custody and have been charged with homicide and drug-related offences. Investigations are ongoing. -- 2025-03-21
