Intelligence warnings to Kyiv stopped

Under the headline "American abandonment", Libération reported on Thursday, October 15 that US intelligence services no longer pass us intelligence warnings to Kyiv about Russian strikes, putting Ukrainian civilians at risk. The front page was picked up in France 24's press review, which summed up the mood across European papers as an American abandonment of Ukraine.

Starlink disruptions denied by Washington

Reported Starlink disruptions in Ukraine also made the European front pages. The Times warned the restrictions could have devastating consequences for Ukraine's security. A US government official told Axios the Trump administration had nothing to do with them, blaming a technical incident.

Zelensky says he feels betrayed by the US

The Kyiv Post quotes President Volodymyr Zelensky saying he feels betrayed by the US, in an interview with broadcaster Piers Morgan in the UK. He met British Prime Minister Andy Burnham on Wednesday - a meeting The Times put on its front page.

Other front pages tracked the wider diplomacy:

• •The Wall Street Journal reports the Trump-Zelensky relationship began to sour after a meeting in New York in September.
• •The Financial Times reports US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner proposed European countries unfreeze Russian assets and transfer them to a Washington-overseen financial vehicle to revive peace talks.
• •La Repubblica's front page describes Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as being "with Ukraine".

German aid to Ukraine under pressure

In Saxony-Anhalt, the far-right AfD and far-left populist BSW formed an alliance that passed a motion calling for an immediate end to all German financial and military aid to Ukraine. The Berliner Morgenpost says the proposal has no chance of approval by Germany's upper house, the Bundesrat. The Süddeutsche Zeitung headlined "this is madness", saying AfD policies now target Ukrainians as well as Arab and Muslim refugees in eastern Germany.

France 24's press review, where these front pages were surveyed, airs every weekday at 7:20am and 9:20am Paris time.
