Russian Strikes Damage Kyiv Cathedral, Kill 11

At least 11 people have lost their lives following a series of Russian missile and drone strikes across Ukraine, including attacks that caused significant damage to Kyiv's historic Dormition Cathedral, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Four fatalities were reported in Kyiv after residential areas came under attack, while five emergency responders were killed in the northeastern city of Kharkiv while battling a blaze triggered by a strike. Ukrainian authorities said dozens of others were injured nationwide. The Dormition Cathedral, a landmark dating back to the 11th century and part of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra monastery complex, suffered extensive damage during the overnight assault. Zelensky described the attack as a serious blow to Ukraine's religious and cultural heritage. Images from the site showed a large breach in one section of the cathedral, with parts of the roof destroyed by fire. The […]

Ukraine Launches Major Drone Strike Near St. Petersburg

Ukraine launched one of its largest drone operations against the St. Petersburg region, prompting Russian authorities to describe the assault as unprecedented. The attack coincided with the final day of Russia’s annual economic forum, a major event aimed at attracting international investors. According to officials in the Leningrad region, Russian air defenses intercepted more than 140 drones during the operation. Regional Governor Aleksandr Drozdenko said the strikes triggered a fire at a military facility and led to the evacuation of nearby residents. He added that only minor damage was reported to surrounding buildings. St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov urged residents to remain indoors, marking the first such advisory issued in the city since the start of the conflict more than four years ago. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that Ukrainian forces had targeted military infrastructure, including naval facilities in Kronstadt, […]

Russia Threatens New Strikes on Kyiv

Russia has warned that it could launch a new series of large-scale strikes on Kyiv, just days after carrying out one of its heaviest attacks on the Ukrainian capital since the war began. In a statement released by the Russian foreign ministry, Moscow said future operations would target what it described as “decision-making centres”, military command posts and drone production facilities located in Kyiv. Russian authorities also urged foreign nationals and diplomats to leave the Ukrainian capital “as soon as possible” and advised citizens to avoid administrative and military sites. Ukraine strongly rejected the threats, accusing Moscow of attempting to intimidate both civilians and the international diplomatic community. Ukrainian officials described the warning as “shameless blackmail” and called on Western allies to increase pressure on Russia. The latest tensions follow a massive Russian assault carried out over the weekend, during […]

Protests erupt over Russia at Venice Biennale

The Russian protest collective Pussy Riot and the Ukrainian-founded Femen staged a joint demonstration at the Venice Biennale, disrupting the return of Russia to the prestigious international art exhibition for the first time since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The activists moved through the Biennale gardens dressed in black, wearing fluorescent pink balaclavas, before gathering outside the Russian pavilion. Security intervened as they shouted slogans including “Russia kills! Biennale exhibits!” while setting off smoke flares and raising protest signs. One banner read: “Curated by Putin, dead bodies included,” underscoring their criticism of Russia’s participation in the event amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. Pussy Riot member Nadya Tolokonnikova accused Russia of using cultural platforms as part of broader political influence efforts. She argued that the country’s presence at the Biennale was an attempt to normalize its international image despite the […]

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 […]
