Ukraine urgently needs the West's go-ahead to launch attacks on Russian territory with donated weapons, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday after signing a long-term security deal with Belgium that includes the provision of 30 F-16s fighter jets by 2028. The deal, however, prohibits Ukraine from deploying the sought-after aircraft to strike targets located on Russian soil. This follows a long-held policy by Western allies that compels Kyiv to use donated weapons and ammunition strictly within its territory, parts of which are currently occupied by Russian forces. Allies worry that if...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a stark warning ahead of the upcoming peace summit in Switzerland, saying the absence of his US counterpart Joe Biden would represent a "standing ovation" to Russia's Vladimir Putin. While the US intends to attend the meeting, scheduled to take place between 16 and 17 June, it has not yet confirmed whether Biden, a staunch advocate of Kyiv and the trans-Atlantic alliance, would be the one representing the country. Biden is likely to attend a G7 summit on 13-15 June but might skip the Swiss occasion to attend instead a campaign fundraiser in Lo...

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy secured a pledge of additional air defence missiles and military support from Spain on Monday. The support is a much-needed boost for Ukraine, which Ukraine's number one says will help fight some 3000 bombs that Russia launches every month at his country. Zelenskyy and Spanish prime minister Pedro Sánchez signed a bilateral security agreement that allocates €1 billion of military aid to Ukraine in 2024, and €5 billion by 2027. More Leopard tanks and artillery ammunition are also featured in the package. “After more than two years (of war), Russia’s aggre...

Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said Russia's president is afraid of what an upcoming international peace summit could achieve. Ukraine's leader said the June summit would "not allow Putin to lie anymore", saying no one in the world wants war except what he called the Russian aggressor. "The world is capable of forcing Russia into peace and into compliance with international security norms. Russia has nothing to oppose the world majority," he said. Zelenskyy chided leaders of Central Asian states for so far not agreeing to attend. The Peace Summit is a format that will not allow Putin to lie anymore. ...

Weeks of Russian strikes on Ukraine's power grid have forced leaders of the war-ravaged country to institute nationwide rolling blackouts. However, there are warnings shortages could worsen without the right defences for Ukraine, especially as demand spikes in late summer and freezing winters. Russian airstrikes targeting the grid since March have brought blackouts back to Kyiv, which hadn’t experienced them since the first year of the war. An strike in April damaged the Ukrainian capital's largest thermal power plant, while a massive attack on 8 May hit power generation and transmission facil...

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...

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. A...
