Iran war: Falana urges Nigeria to work with other countries to pressure Trump

Human rights lawyer Femi Falana has called on Nigeria to collaborate with other countries to mount diplomatic pressure on United States President Donald Trump over the ongoing war involving Iran, Israel and the US. Falana said Nigeria should revive its tradition of multilateral diplomacy, like in the days of the Non Aligned Movement, by working with other nations to ensure respect for international law and to push for restraint on all sides. He criticised Trump for what he described as contempt for international law and United Nations resolutions, noting that the US under his watch has withdrawn from dozens of UN decisions. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria argued that Nigeria and other countries must persuade global powers such as China and Russia to intervene diplomatically in the crisis, since they wield significant influence over […]

Seven countries to boycott Paralympics ceremony over Russia

At least seven countries have announced they will boycott the opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Paralympic Games in Milan Cortina in protest at the participation of Russian athletes under their national flag. The boycott is led by Ukraine, which says allowing Russia and Belarus to compete with full national symbols while the war in Ukraine continues is “unacceptable” and amounts to recognising a “killer state” at a top sports event. Other countries joining the protest include Poland, Finland, Czechia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, with officials from these nations confirming they will skip the ceremony to show solidarity with Ukraine. The International Paralympic Committee has allocated 10 slots for Russian and Belarusian athletes, who have been cleared to compete under their flags and anthems after earlier bans linked to the invasion of Ukraine. While the boycotting countries still plan to […]

Russia warns US-Israeli attacks on Iran could spark ‘catastrophe’

Russia has condemned US and Israeli strikes on Iran as a “dangerous adventure” that could push the Middle East to the brink of humanitarian, economic and even radiological catastrophe.​ In a strongly worded statement, Moscow accused Washington and Tel Aviv of openly seeking to destroy Iran’s constitutional order and overthrow a government that refuses to submit to Western “hegemonism”. The foreign ministry said the aggressors would bear full responsibility for any chain reaction of escalating violence triggered by their actions.​ Russia, which has grown closer to Tehran since launching its offensive in Ukraine, urged its citizens to leave both Iran and Israel amid fears of further strikes. It also said it was ready to help broker peaceful solutions grounded in international law, mutual respect and a balance of interests.​ Moscow recalled that it signed a strategic partnership treaty with Iran […]

Ukraine–Russia peace talks in Geneva enter second day amid pressure on Kyiv

Negotiators from Ukraine and Russia were due to begin a second day of U.S mediated peace talks in Geneva on Wednesday, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy complaining that Washington was putting undue pressure on Kyiv to accept a deal to end the four year war. The talks, hosted at a Swiss government villa on the shores of Lake Geneva, are focused on the highly sensitive question of territory and the possible outlines of a ceasefire and future security arrangements. Zelenskiy said in a late night address that Tuesday’s opening round had been “difficult,” accusing Russia of trying to drag out negotiations that he believes could already be close to a final stage, while also hinting that some U.S proposals went further than he was comfortable with. “Ukraine will not be forced into any agreement that legitimises occupation,” he said, while […]

Russian athletes: Ukrainian officials to boycott Paralympics

Ukrainian officials will boycott next month’s Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Paralympic Games after the International Paralympic Committee approved the participation of a small group of Russian and Belarusian athletes under their national flags. Sports Minister Matvii Bidnyi condemned the move as “outrageous”, arguing that allowing the symbols of countries waging war on Ukraine onto the Paralympic stage effectively endorses aggression and Kremlin propaganda. Under the IPC decision, six Russian and four Belarusian athletes will compete at the Games in Italy, marking the first time since the 2014 Sochi Paralympics that the Russian flag will be flown at a Paralympic event. Russia and Belarus had been largely excluded from international para sport following Moscow’s full scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, but member federations voted in September 2025 to lift their partial suspensions and restore full membership rights. Kyiv responded by […]

Geneva talks end without Ukraine deal

Talks involving Russia, Ukraine and the United States aimed at ending Moscow’s war in Ukraine have ended without a decisive breakthrough. The trilateral negotiations, held in Geneva, stretched late into Tuesday and resumed briefly on Wednesday for about two hours. Despite earlier optimism from US envoy Steve Witkoff, both the Russian and Ukrainian sides described the discussions as challenging. According to a Ukrainian diplomatic source, limited progress was achieved on certain military matters, including discussions on the current front line and mechanisms for monitoring a potential ceasefire. However, the core dispute over territory — central to any lasting truce — remains unresolved, with positions in Moscow and Kyiv still significantly apart. Russia continues to insist on full control of the Donbas region, encompassing Donetsk and Luhansk, a demand Kyiv considers unacceptable. Chief Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky acknowledged the difficulty of […]

Zelensky calls Putin ‘slave to war’ at Munich forum

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “slave to war” during a speech at the Munich Security Conference in Germany. He warned that Putin will remain a threat to Ukraine and Europe if he is not stopped on the battlefield. Zelensky said every power plant in Ukraine has been damaged by Russian strikes, leaving millions facing cuts to heating and electricity in winter. He spoke days before the second anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, which has killed hundreds of thousands, destroyed towns and cities, and forced millions of Ukrainians from their homes. He compared Putin to Adolf Hitler and said the Russian leader may see himself as a tsar but is trapped in his own war. Zelensky added that no one in Ukraine believes Putin will allow Ukrainians to live freely or end Moscow’s aggression voluntarily. […]

Russian strikes cut power and heat to thousands in Ukraine

Russia has launched a large overnight barrage of drones and missiles on Ukraine, knocking out power, heat and water for tens of thousands of people in several major cities. Officials said the latest wave is part of an intensified winter campaign targeting the country’s energy infrastructure.​ In Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said around 3,500 apartment buildings were left without heating after critical facilities were hit. More than 100,000 families also lost electricity, with private energy firm DTEK confirming that one of its thermal power plants was struck. Two people were injured in the capital and a residential building was damaged.​ Ukraine’s air force reported that Russia fired 24 ballistic missiles, one cruise missile and 219 drones during the attack. Air defences shot down or neutralised 16 missiles and 197 drones, but several still reached their targets, causing widespread outages.​ The […]

‘Only Trump can stop the war’: Ukraine FM pushes to speed up peace talks

Ukraine’s foreign minister Andrii Sybiha says Kyiv wants to speed up U.S. brokered peace talks with Russia, arguing that only U.S. President Donald Trump has the political weight to seal a final deal. In an interview in Kyiv, Sybiha said Ukraine and Russia must hold a face to face leaders’ summit to resolve the toughest remaining issues in a 20 point peace framework that has guided recent trilateral negotiations. He warned that campaigning for the U.S. mid term elections in November could soon distract Washington, so Ukraine is keen to “capitalise on momentum” in the talks. On core territorial questions, he said the sides remain far apart, with Russia demanding that Ukraine formally hand over the remaining 20% of Donetsk it has yet to occupy and Kyiv insisting on regaining control of all its land, including the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
