Zelensky denies Russia claim of drone attack on Putin

President Volodymyr Zelensky has firmly rejected Russia’s claim that Ukraine carried out a drone attack on one of President Vladimir Putin’s residences, accusing Moscow of spreading falsehoods to justify further military action and undermine ongoing peace efforts. Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, alleged that Ukraine launched an overnight assault using 91 long-range drones targeting Putin’s state residence in the Novgorod region, in northwestern Russia. According to Moscow, the incident could prompt a reassessment of Russia’s stance in peace negotiations. It remains unclear whether Putin was present at the site at the time. Zelensky dismissed the accusation as “typical Russian lies,” arguing that such claims are intended to derail diplomatic momentum and provide the Kremlin with a pretext to continue strikes against Ukraine. He recalled that Russia itself has repeatedly targeted government buildings in Kyiv. “It is critical that the world […]

EU leaders meet in Brussels on €210bn Ukraine funding from Russian assets

EU leaders convened in Brussels to decide on releasing €210bn (£184bn) from frozen Russian assets, held mostly at Euroclear in Belgium, to fund Ukraine's war efforts against Russia. The funds aim to prevent Ukraine's bankruptcy in early 2026, ensuring payments for soldiers, police, civil servants, and weapons purchases. Failure to approve would damage EU credibility and weaken its stance in potential peace talks, possibly emboldening Vladimir Putin.​ Recent EU summits approved €90 billion in support for 2026-27, including loans backed by EU budget guarantees rather than direct Russian asset use, addressing concerns from members like Belgium, Hungary, Czechia, and Slovakia. Russia opposes the plan, threatening legal action against Euroclear while EU argues the assets serve as reparations for war damages.​ The assets were frozen post-2022 invasion; EU ambassadors invoked Article 122 to keep them indefinitely frozen amid ongoing threats.​

Putin unmoved on Ukraine as Trump faces test over Zelenskyy peace plan

US President Donald Trump has linked Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s upcoming visit to Mar a Lago to his own approval of a proposed Ukraine peace plan, telling reporters that the Ukrainian leader “doesn’t have anything until I approve it.” Zelenskyy has described the joint US–Ukraine framework as “90% ready,” but Trump has so far refused to fully endorse it.​ The current 20 point plan was redrafted in Kyiv after a leaked 28 point version drew heavy backlash from Ukraine and some European allies, who said it read like a Russian wish list that pushed Kyiv toward capitulation. Zelenskyy has since held talks with Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff and his son in law Jared Kushner to prepare for a face to face meeting in Florida.​ Any potential breakthrough still hinges on Moscow, where reaction has been muted. Russian officials have offered only cautious, […]

EU leaders meet in Brussels over €210bn Ukraine war funding

European Union leaders are meeting in Brussels today to decide whether to release €210 billion from frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine’s war effort against Russia. The funds are largely held by Euroclear, a Belgium based financial clearing house, where Russian assets have been blocked since Moscow’s full scale invasion in 2022.​ The money is considered crucial to Ukraine’s ability to continue fighting and keep the state functioning. Without fresh international support, Kyiv is projected to face bankruptcy in early 2026, leaving it unable to pay soldiers, police, civil servants or buy weapons and ammunition.​ Failure by EU leaders to approve the package would be a heavy blow to the bloc’s credibility. Analysts warn it could weaken the EU’s influence in any future peace talks and allow Vladimir Putin to exploit divisions within Europe.​

EU leaders in crunch talks on €210bn frozen Russian assets for Ukraine

EU leaders are meeting in Brussels for high stakes talks on whether to channel around €210bn in frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine’s war effort against Russia. Most of the money is held at Belgian based clearing house Euroclear, where interest and other proceeds from the immobilised funds have been accruing since sanctions were imposed in 2022.​ The funds are seen as vital to Ukraine’s ability to keep fighting, with officials warning that Kyiv could face bankruptcy in early 2026 without fresh external support. A financial collapse would leave the government unable to pay soldiers, police, civil servants or purchase weapons and ammunition.​ Leaders are debating proposals to use the frozen Russian assets as collateral to raise long term loans for Ukraine on capital markets, leaving the principal untouched for now. Under the plan, Ukraine might not have to repay […]

US says Putin still aims to seize all Ukraine

US intelligence agencies assess that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not scaled back his military ambitions in Ukraine and still wants to bring the entire country under Russian control. Six sources familiar with recent assessments said the findings also warn that Putin ultimately aims to reassert influence over parts of Europe that once belonged to the Soviet Union.​ The reports indicate that Russia’s goals remain unchanged even as US, Ukrainian and European negotiators discuss possible frameworks to end the nearly four year war. Current diplomatic proposals under review would leave Russia with far less territory than it now occupies, but there is no sign from US intelligence that Putin is ready to accept such limits.​ Russia currently controls about 20 percent of Ukraine, including the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, and Crimea, which Moscow claims to […]

Putin praises Ukraine gains and warns of further military action

Russian President Vladimir Putin has hailed what he called significant gains by Russian forces in Ukraine, using his annual press conference in Moscow to warn that Moscow is prepared to push further if peace efforts fail. The marathon question and answer event, a hallmark of his nearly 25 years in power, was dominated by the war and Russia’s confrontation with the West.​ Putin claimed that Russian troops now hold the strategic initiative along most of the front line. He said his forces have created, and intend to expand, a “security buffer zone” near Russia’s border to prevent Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory.​ The Russian leader repeated that the Kremlin’s goals in Ukraine remain unchanged. He insisted that the objectives of what Moscow still calls its “special military operation” will be fully achieved, either through negotiations or by force.​ Putin said […]

Russia claims control of key Ukrainian city Kupiansk

Russia has announced that its troops have taken control of the frontline city of Kupiansk in northeastern Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. Leonid Sharov, head of Russia’s Zapad (West) military group, told state media that the city is now under the command of the Russian Sixth Army.​ Russian officials have repeatedly portrayed Kupiansk as a vital logistics and railway hub for Ukrainian operations in the northeast. Moscow argues that securing the city strengthens its defensive line and disrupts Ukrainian supply routes towards Kharkiv and other parts of the front.​ Ukraine has rejected earlier Russian declarations of full control over Kupiansk, insisting that its forces remain active in and around the city. Kyiv’s military authorities say Ukrainian troops are still engaging Russian units and have carried out counterattacks to retake ground in the area.​ Recent assessments by independent analysts suggest that the situation […]

Putin offers India uninterrupted fuel despite US pressure

Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered India “uninterrupted” supplies of fuel, promising to keep crude oil and other energy shipments flowing despite mounting pressure from the United States over New Delhi’s trade with Moscow.​ Putin made the pledge during a summit with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, describing Russia as a reliable supplier of oil, gas and coal for India’s fast growing economy and stressing that Moscow is ready to continue steady deliveries.​ The offer comes as President Donald Trump’s administration has imposed steep tariffs on many Indian exports and targeted major Russian energy firms with sanctions, arguing that India’s purchases of discounted Russian oil help fund the war in Ukraine.​ India, now one of the world’s largest buyers of Russian crude, has slightly reduced its imports in recent months under US pressure but continues to defend […]

US envoy to meet Putin over Ukraine war talks

A senior United States envoy is scheduled to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow for high‑level talks focused on efforts to end the war in Ukraine.​ According to US officials, the visit is part of renewed diplomatic contacts aimed at exploring conditions for a possible ceasefire and a broader political settlement, while reaffirming support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.​ The envoy is expected to raise issues such as security guarantees, withdrawal of Russian forces, prisoner exchanges, and protection of civilian infrastructure, alongside discussions on how any agreement could be monitored and enforced.​ Russian authorities have signalled that they are willing to listen to proposals but insist that any negotiations must reflect what they describe as “realities on the ground”, including territories currently under Russian control.​ Western allies are being briefed on the mission, and Washington has stressed that […]
