The proposal on the table breaks a long-held taboo in Brussels as Russian gas has been until now completely spared from any restrictions, despite repeated calls from Poland, the Baltics, the Nordics and, most passionately, Ukraine. But the plan, designed by the European Commission, falls short of an all-out import ban, as the bloc previously did with coal and seaborne oil. Instead, it aims to prohibit trans-shipments of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG), meaning the practice of re-exporting LNG that arrives at EU ports to other countries. The Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA...

EU diplomats agreed Wednesday to use income from frozen Russian state assets to aid Ukraine – paving the way for the war-torn country to get around €3 bn for arms purchases and reconstruction before the summer. Since the full-scale invasion of 2022, €210 billion in assets of the Moscow central bank have sat frozen within the bloc – chiefly at the Euroclear depositary in Belgium. The deal was agreed “in principle” at a regular meeting of national representatives, according to a tweet by Belgium, currently chairing talks in the European Council. Brussels has long touted using the interest from t...

Russian forces have unleashed an overnight barrage of more than 50 cruise missiles and explosive drones at Ukraine's power grid, targeting a wide area in an attack that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described as "massive". The bombardment blasted targets in seven Ukrainian regions, including the Kyiv area and parts of the south and west, damaging homes and the country's rail network, authorities said. Officials said three people were injured, including an 8-year-old girl. National electrical grid operator Ukrenergo said facilities were hit in the Vinnytsia, Zaporizhzhia, Kirovohrad, Poltava an...

Approaching nearly a quarter-century in power, Vladimir Putin will place his hand on a copy of the constitution on Tuesday and start another six-year term as president, maintaining his extraordinary authority. Following the 2022 operation in Ukraine that has become Europe’s biggest conflict since World War II, Russia has been heavily sanctioned by the West and is turning other regimes like China and North Korea for support. The question now is what Putin will do over the course of another six years, both at home and abroad. On April 17, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE...

The European Union hosted a defence industry forum on Monday in a bid to find new ways to supply Kiyv with much-needed weapons and ammunition. Some 140 firms from 25 countries attended the event in Brussels, which was meant to link Ukraine's defence industry with those of the EU. Industry representatives met to discuss how Ukraine's industry capacity for defence production could be better matched with that of Europe. They also discussed how Ukrainian firms could amp up production and meet the country's needs at home. This would minimise transportation costs and allow the tools to be produced w...

The attack on Orthodox Easter Sunday - a day celebrated as Easter in both Russia and Ukraine – also injured 24 people in Ukraine's second-largest city and surrounding areas, regional officials said. The Kharkiv and the adjacent Sumy region also saw power cuts after reports of drone attacks and explosions. The largely Russian-speaking city of Kharkiv, just 40 kilometres from the Russian border has come under increasing attacks, with rising fears that it may become the next focal point of Russia’s military campaign. The prosecutor’s office opened a criminal case over violation of laws of war. Ru...

Russia has blamed the "hostility" of Baltic states for them severing most of their ties with the country. "Because of the openly hostile line of Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn, all interstate, interdepartmental, regional and sectoral ties with Russia have been severed," said Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharov on Sunday. 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...

Ukraine and Russia have marked their third Easter under a rain of bombs and bullets. Speaking on the holy day, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called God an “ally” in his country's struggle against Russia's full-scale invasion. He urged Ukrainians to unite in prayer, vowing that "life will definitely win over death." On Saturday, worshippers including President Vladimir Putin attended Moscow’s landmark Christ the Savior Cathedral for a nighttime Easter service led by Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church. Kirill, a fervent Kremlin supporter, wished for “God’s blessing o...

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...
