Easter Truce Falters as Violations Reported

An Easter ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine came into effect on Saturday, but signs of instability appeared almost immediately, raising doubts about its effectiveness. Just 38 minutes after the truce began, air raid sirens were reported in the Kharkiv region of north-eastern Ukraine. Since then, both officials and military sources have recorded several violations along the front line, although no major missile or drone strikes have been confirmed. The temporary pause in fighting is expected to last until Easter Monday, offering civilians a brief respite more than four years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stressed that the ceasefire should provide safety and peace, but warned that Ukrainian forces would respond proportionally to any violations. On the ground, skepticism remains high. In Kharkiv, residents gathered at St John the Theologian Church to observe Easter traditions. Families […]

Life in Yelets: Russia’s War on Ukraine Hits Home

In Yelets, a town 350km south of Moscow, winter can feel like a scene from a Russian fairy tale, with golden-domed Orthodox churches and ice fishermen on the frozen river. But the fairy-tale atmosphere is fleeting. On the riverbank, billboards recruit soldiers with promises of £15,000 for signing up to fight in Ukraine. Posters depict Russian soldiers with Kalashnikovs, accompanied by slogans like “We’re there where we need to be.” Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, the conflict has dragged on far longer than expected, surpassing even the duration of Nazi Germany’s war against the Soviet Union. In Yelets, the human cost is visible: a mural on a nine-storey apartment block shows the faces of five local men killed in Ukraine, under the words “Glory to the heroes of Russia!” Locals like Irina, a […]

Geneva Talks Resume as Strikes Intensify

Russian and Ukrainian delegations are meeting in Geneva for another round of negotiations mediated by the United States, just days before the fourth anniversary of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Hopes for a major diplomatic breakthrough remain limited. Moscow has continued to insist on sweeping territorial concessions, while Kyiv has rejected any proposal that would formalize the loss of its land. Fighting on the ground has shown no sign of easing. In the hours before talks began in Switzerland, Russia launched a large-scale aerial assault across 12 Ukrainian regions, deploying roughly 400 drones and nearly 30 missiles. At least three people were reported killed. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said the scale of the attack demonstrated Russia’s disregard for ongoing peace efforts. Russian officials, meanwhile, stated that air defence systems intercepted more than 150 Ukrainian drones. Authorities also […]

Rubio urges calmer US Europe ties as Trump era shocks strain Munich security talks

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says ties between the United States and Europe have reached a defining moment as leaders gather for the Munich Security Conference.​ Speaking before the meeting in Germany, Rubio said the old world order is gone and a new era in geopolitics is emerging that will force both sides to rethink their roles. He stressed that the United States and Europe remain deeply linked and must discuss how to shape their shared future.​ The annual forum in Munich comes after years of turbulence under President Donald Trump, whose harsh rhetoric and disruptive policies have shaken U.S. alliances. European partners have watched Washington topple Venezuela’s leader, threaten other Latin American governments, impose tariffs on allies and rivals and even talk about annexing Greenland from NATO partner Denmark.​ Last year at Munich, Vice President JD Vance clashed […]

Syrians say recruiter sent them to die in Ukraine

A young Syrian man has described how he was lured into Russia’s war in Ukraine by a recruiter who later burned his passport after he refused to pay to stay out of combat. Omar, 26, says he was recruited by Polina Alexandrovna Azarnykh, a Russian woman who runs a Telegram channel offering foreign men contracts with the Russian military. Speaking to the BBC under a false name for his safety, Omar said he was promised safe, well-paid work and even Russian citizenship, but instead found himself fighting on the front line with minimal training. In a video sent to Omar, flames can be seen consuming his Syrian passport while a woman’s voice in Russian says, “It’s burning well.” Omar says the voice belongs to Azarnykh, who became angry after he refused to pay her $3,000, money she had allegedly demanded […]

Putin: Russia May Stop War if Ukraine Holds Elections

Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that Moscow could halt its ongoing military operations in Ukraine if the Ukrainian government agrees to hold national elections. This statement comes amid continued fighting in multiple regions, with both sides reporting casualties and infrastructure damage. According to Kremlin officials, Putin’s remarks signal a potential opening for negotiations, though skepticism remains high in Kyiv and among Western allies. Ukrainian leaders have reiterated that any decision about elections or peace talks must preserve the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Experts warn that while Putin’s announcement may appear conciliatory, it could also be a strategic move to pressure Ukraine politically. Holding elections in a war zone presents significant logistical and security challenges, and any such process would likely face scrutiny from international observers. The international community continues to call for dialogue and de-escalation. The United Nations […]

Zelenskyy Meets European Leaders in London to Strengthen Military Aid for Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet key European leaders in the United Kingdom on Friday to discuss renewed military support aimed at deterring future Russian aggression, should a ceasefire end the war that has now entered its fourth year.

The agenda includes plans to bolster Ukraine’s air defense capabilities, protect the country’s power grid from relentless Russian drone and missile attacks, and potentially supply Kyiv with longer-range weapons capable of striking deeper inside […]

Trump Says He’s ‘Not Sure I’ll Make Heaven’ While Reflecting on Peace Efforts

United States President Donald Trump has expressed uncertainty about making heaven, even as he continues to receive international praise for brokering the ceasefire that ended the two-year war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday while en route to Israel, Trump joked about his faith and legacy, saying, “I’m being a little cute, I don’t think there’s anything going to get me in heaven. I think I’m maybe not heaven-bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly in Air Force One. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to make heaven, but I’ve made life a lot better for a lot of people.” His comment came in response to a reporter who reminded him of his earlier remarks suggesting that achieving peace between Russia and Ukraine could help […]

UK PM: Russia’s Ukraine Strikes Show Putin Rejects Peace

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned Russia’s latest wave of air strikes on Ukraine, describing the attacks as evidence that President Vladimir Putin is “not serious about peace.” In a statement on Sunday, Starmer said he was “appalled by the latest brutal overnight assault on Kyiv and across Ukraine.” “These cowardly strikes show that Putin believes he can act with impunity. He is not serious about peace,” the UK leader added. The remarks come after Ukrainian authorities reported fresh Russian missile and drone barrages targeting the capital Kyiv and other regions overnight, leaving widespread damage and civilian casualties. The United Kingdom remains one of Ukraine’s strongest backers, providing military aid, humanitarian support, and diplomatic pressure on Moscow since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. Starmer reaffirmed that Britain would continue to stand with Kyiv, urging international partners […]

EU Slams Russia After Deadly Missile Strikes on Kyiv

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has condemned Russia’s deadliest attack on Kyiv since July, which killed 17 people, including four children, and damaged the EU’s delegation office in the Ukrainian capital. A five-storey residential block in the Darnytskyi district collapsed after being struck by a missile in the early hours of Thursday. Ukrainian officials said many of the victims were trapped inside their homes, with rescue workers digging through rubble to search for survivors. Three of the children killed were aged two, 14 and 17. Von der Leyen described the bombardment as “another grim reminder” of Russia’s intent to terrorise civilians, noting that two missiles landed just 50 metres from the EU delegation. Images shared by EU officials showed shattered windows and ceilings torn down at the mission’s Kyiv office. The British Council, housed in the same block, […]
