Ukraine restarts Russian oil pipeline to Europe

Ukraine has resumed pumping Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia through the Druzhba pipeline after completing repairs on a section damaged in a Russian attack in January. The Soviet era pipeline has been at the centre of a standoff between Ukraine and the European Union on one side and Hungary and Slovakia on the other, as both EU members continue to import Russian crude via the route despite the ongoing war. Kyiv hopes that restoring flows will clear the final obstacle to unlocking tens of billions of euros in EU financial support that had been held up by Hungary’s outgoing nationalist leader Viktor Orban. An energy industry source in Ukraine told AFP that “oil transit was launched and pumping began” on Wednesday. Hungarian energy company MOL said it expects the first shipments to arrive in Hungary and Slovakia by Thursday […]

Russia and Ukraine agree 32 hour Easter ceasefire

Russia and Ukraine have agreed to observe a 32 hour ceasefire over Orthodox Easter this weekend. The Kremlin said the truce will begin at 4 pm 1300 GMT on Saturday and last until the end of Sunday, describing it as a humanitarian pause. Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov and army chief Valery Gerasimov have been ordered to halt hostilities in all directions during this period. Moscow said it expects Ukraine to follow its example. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded that Kyiv had repeatedly called for an Easter truce and would act accordingly. The agreement comes amid stalled diplomatic efforts led by the United States to end the four year war. Washington has been mediating talks between Russia and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi and Geneva, but negotiations have largely been frozen since the US launched its war with Iran. Russia announced […]

Zelensky warns of air defence supply risks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that escalating conflict in the Middle East could jeopardize Ukraine’s access to critical air defence systems. He said the growing military demands in the region may divert both weapons supplies and political attention away from Kyiv’s fight against Russia. In an interview with Corriere della Sera, Zelensky explained that the United States and its Middle Eastern partners may prioritize their own defence needs, particularly advanced systems such as Patriot missiles. He acknowledged the risk that Washington and the European Union could shift focus from Ukraine if the crisis involving Iran expands into a prolonged war. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, Ukraine has remained central to Western diplomatic and military support. However, officials in Kyiv now sense a shift in global attention. Heavy use of interceptor missiles by Gulf countries could create shortages in […]

Zelensky Rejects Territorial Concessions

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reiterated his firm stance against making territorial concessions to Russia, insisting that Ukraine will not trade land for a ceasefire. Speaking at the government headquarters in Kyiv, Zelensky said that withdrawing from strategically important areas currently contested or partially controlled by Russian forces would amount to abandoning Ukrainian citizens. In his view, such a move would weaken the country internally and create divisions within society. Russia has demanded that Ukraine relinquish control over parts of the Donetsk region, as well as additional areas in the southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. Zelensky rejected the idea that these concessions would bring lasting peace, arguing that any pause would simply allow Moscow time to rebuild its military strength before resuming aggression. He stressed that sustained military and economic pressure on Russia remains the only viable path to […]

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 […]

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 […]

Trump says Putin agreed to pause Kyiv strikes during extreme cold

United States President Donald Trump says Russian leader Vladimir Putin has agreed to his personal request to pause missile strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities during an extreme cold spell. Russia’s recent attacks on Ukraine’s power infrastructure have left millions facing blackouts, heating shortages and water cuts as temperatures plunge, creating a new humanitarian emergency across the country. Trump told a cabinet meeting that he asked Putin not to fire on Kyiv and surrounding towns for a week because of the “extraordinary” cold. He claimed Putin accepted the request, describing the response as “very nice” and saying people had warned him the call would be a waste of time. Trump did not say exactly when the conversation took place or when the pause in strikes would begin. The Kremlin has not confirmed any such truce. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, […]

Ukraine says deadly Russian strikes threaten US‑backed peace talks

Ukraine has accused Russia of undermining efforts to end their nearly four‑year war by launching fresh deadly attacks while Ukrainian, Russian and U.S. officials hold direct peace talks in Abu Dhabi. Overnight bombardments killed one person and injured 27 in Kyiv and Kharkiv, even as negotiators met for a second day to discuss the latest U.S.‑brokered proposals.​ Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said President Vladimir Putin ordered a “brutal massive missile strike” on Ukraine while the delegations were meeting, accusing Moscow of hitting “not only our people, but also the negotiation table”. Ukraine’s chief negotiator Rustem Umerov said discussions in Abu Dhabi were focused on parameters for ending the war and the future logic of the negotiation process.​ The talks come after U.S. President Donald Trump met Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky at the World Economic Forum in Davos and U.S. envoy […]

Russia hits Ukraine with Oreshnik missile

Russia has used its Oreshnik ballistic missile in a large overnight attack on Ukraine, killing at least four people and injuring 25 in Kyiv, as explosions echoed across the capital for several hours on Thursday night. The strikes lit up the sky and caused widespread damage to homes and infrastructure. This was only the second confirmed use of the Oreshnik, a weapon first deployed in November 2024 against the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro. Moscow said the latest barrage was retaliation for an alleged Ukrainian drone attack on President Vladimir Putin’s residence in late December, a claim Ukraine has denied and which Western officials have questioned. Although Russia did not specify the exact target of the Oreshnik missile, social media footage late Thursday showed multiple blasts near the western city of Lviv. Ukrainian authorities later confirmed that a ballistic missile […]

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 […]
