As Ukraine seeks international backing for its 10-point peace plan and proposed summit at the United Nations in February, Kyiv is simultaneously framing Moscow as untrustworthy and detached from reality, a conclusion Ukrainian leaders say is supported by Putin’s false ceasefire offer and the Kremlin’s refusal to downgrade its war goals. “There is still the same expectation that he can be dealt with,” Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.K., Vadym Prystaiko, told Newsweek in an interview at Kyiv’s embassy in London, just hours before Putin announced a unilateral 36-hour ceasefire—rejected by Ukraine—to mark Orthodox Christmas, which his forces then repeatedly violated....

The West Side Story star rose to fame with the Steven Spielberg-directed musical and subsequently landed the role of the princess in the upcoming Disney and Marc Webb film.

Essex batsman Westley will replace the injured Gary Ballance (fractured finger) at number three when England attempt to respond to their drubbing at Trent Bridge, which brought the tourists level at 1-1.

The New York rapper, real name Curtis Jackson, was himself offered a sum to publicly support Trump—an offer he eventually turned down.

I passed on it,” Jackson said during an appearance on the radio show The Breakfast Club....

Wenger has led Arsenal to three Premier League crowns and six FA Cup titles in his 20-year spell in charge but is starting to come under increasing pressure for what fans perceive to be a stubborn refusal to change his methods, a situation that has intensified following Wednesday’s 5-1 Champions League hammering at Bayern Munich.

In the aftermath, his subordinates are gathered on the grounds of his estate by his widow to compete for a powerful and important artifact as well as the position of leader.

Tony Pulis’ side have inconvenienced other Champions League aspirants of late, beating Arsenal 3-1 and holding Manchester United to a 0-0 draw. But they were unable to lay a glove on Liverpool for much of a listless encounter, and what is normally an area of strength for Albion proved to be their downfall. Firmino was allowed too much room to net his 11th Premier League goal of the season as the hosts’ set-piece defending failed them in first-half stoppage time....

It was a very dull first half for Man Utd, and their only effort of note was Marcus Rashford’s darting run down the left flank which was cut off by Declan Rice. The Red Devils were rather toothless, and West Ham took advantage towards the end of the first period. In the 44th minute, Andriy Yarmolenko instinctively evaded the United defenders, latched onto a pass from Felipe Anderson, and expertly dispatched the ball beyond David de Gea and into the goal....

Jesus suffers fractured eye socket Iheanacho has fallen down the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium under Pep Guardiola, with Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus City’s preferred forwards.

West Ham will consider themselves unlucky to have lost to Chelsea in Premier League action last time out, conceding late to lose 1-0. The Hammers aren’t in great form, having won two of their last seven, although one of those wins was a 3-0 victory in Lyon in the decisive second leg of their quarterfinal in this competition. Eintracht Frankfurt (9th in the Bundesliga) are in a similar position to West Ham (7th in Premier League)....
