However Oleh Syniehubov, the regional chief, reported on Friday via Telegram that at least two people were killed and 19 wounded after Russian aircraft bombed the city - with four in critical condition. And Putin added that Moscow's military intervention in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv region is geared towards creating a buffer zone. Putin's remarks mark his first words on the offensive which began on May 10, which led to a new front and the displacement of thousands of Ukrainians within days. Earlier on Friday, a significant Ukrainian drone strike on the Russia-occupied Crimean Peninsula re...

"The Russian Federation has engaged in a systematic, international campaign of media and information manipulation (...) to justify and support i...

NATO’s top military officer has said Russia’s armed forces are incapable of any major advance. “The Russians don’t have the numbers necessary to do a strategic breakthrough,” NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander Europe Christopher Cavoli told reporters on Thursday. “More to the point, they don’t have the skill and the capability to do it; to operate at the scale necessary to exploit any breakthrough to strategic advantage,” the US General said. His comments come as Ukrainian forces engage in fierce battles with Russia's troops for control of Vovchansk, a key town in Ukraine's northeastern Kharkiv r...

Slovakian authorities charged a man with attempted premeditated murder on Thursday after he shot Prime Minister Robert Fico five times in the central town of Handlova. The assault left the longstanding leader in a serious but stable condition. "The attempt on Fico's life was politically motivated," Slovakia's Interior Minister Matuš Šutaj-Eštok said during a news conference on Fico's shooting. Eštok said the suspect, believed to be 71, was a "lone wolf" and did not belong to any political party but had previously taken part in anti-government protests. The minister did not specify what the mot...

Russia is significantly intensifying strikes on Kharkiv. On Tuesday, Moscow forces hit the Ukrainian border city twice, using guided aerial bombs and missiles. At the same time, the Kremlin’s forces are expanding their push to the northern border regions of Sumy and Chernihiv, Ukrainian officials say, and Kyiv's outgunned and outnumbered soldiers are struggling to hold them back. Attacks on civilian infrastructure are increasing, the UN noted, with far-reaching humanitarian consequences, the UN said. Over 7,500 people have been evacuated from the Kharviv area since Russia's latest cross-border...

A hidden gem in OdesaWalking down the gorgeous pastel lined shops of Odesa, you could be forgiven for almost forgetting you’re in a war zone. Restaurants and bars throng with those defiant enough to try to forget the war. No one is wearing ballistic vests. But then you turn a corner and suddenly there it is again. Piles of sandbags stacked next to the Opera House. Or anti-tank traps lurking menacingly in the background. Many of the city’s residents declare that Odesa is the pearl of Ukraine and that Russia wants to have it. It is a gorgeous city. A bit like Paris, but on the sea. And like Pari...

In the two years since Russia launched its unprovoked and illegal invasion of Ukraine, the vigorous international support that erupted in response has begun to wane. The recent spectacle of horse-trading at the US Congress on a new $61-billion funding package, together with emerging divergences of opinion in Europe, indicates that competing priorities are leading to a slow dilution of commitments. While Russia may have intended to win with a shock and awe approach, it seems it may be having more success with the long play of attrition and waiting for splits to emerge in the Western alliance.
