She warned Moscow would respond with asymmetric measures, though did not specify exactly what the Baltics had supposedly done. "We will also respond to the hostile actions of the Baltic states with asymmetrical measures, primarily in the economic and transit spheres...

Fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces has decimated the village of Ocheretyne in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region. Drone footage obtained by AP, a US news agency, shows that most houses and apartment buildings in Ocheretyne are damaged beyond repair. Not a single person is seen in the clip. Moscow's army has launched a costly - but creeping - advance in the area, pounding Kyiv’s depleted forces with artillery, drones and bombs. Critical Ukrainian shortages of equipment from the West, especially the US, have "likely helped" Russian forces on the battlefield, according to the Institute f...

In Ukraine, the army has been on the backfoot over the last few months; and despite the US package of $61 billion (€56.6 billion) of military support, experts say it will be sufficient merely to hold the frontline and possibly regain some lost territory. The situation has deteriorated in large part due to a serious shortage of ammunition and weapons from Western allies; where Ukrainian forces say they have been rationing bullets. Ukraine has been forced to abandon territory westward beginning with Avdiivka in Donetsk region in February. Due to a distinct lack of military support, Russia has ga...

Recent statements by French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron about the war in Ukraine are “dangerous” and will deepen international tension around the conflict, the Kremlin’s spokesman said on Friday. In an interview published on Thursday, Macron repeated an earlier comment that he doesn’t rule out sending troops to Ukraine. Cameron, meanwhile, said during a visit to Kyiv the same day that Ukraine will be able to use British long-range weapons to strike targets inside Russia - a possibility that some other NATO countries providing weapons have balked at. Kremlin...

Washington has accused Russia of deploying chemical weapons as a "method of warfare" in Ukraine, in violation of international laws banning their use. The US State Department said Russia had used the choking agent chloropicrin to make "battlefield gains" over Ukraine in a statement on Wednesday. "The use of such chemicals is not an isolated incident and is probably driven by Russian forces' desire to dislodge Ukrainian forces from fortified positions and achieve tactical gains on the battlefield," the statement said. Chloropicrin is listed as a banned choking agent by the Hague-based Organizat...
