Russia Ukraine Moscow

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday rejected offering the Kremlin any concessions in Ukraine, saying such moves would be detrimental to his country and Europe more broadly.

Russia launched more than 2,000 attack drones at civilian and military targets across Ukraine last month, Kyiv's military said on Friday, as Kremlin forces press a grinding offensive on the front line of their February 2022 invasion.

The United States imposed sanctions on Wednesday on hundreds of targets in fresh action against Russia, a signal the U.S. will continue to counter evasion of its measures imposed over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

Russia's envoy to the United Nations on Wednesday questioned why its allies like North Korea could not help Moscow in its war against Ukraine given Western countries claim the right to help Kyiv.

Russia's nuclear forces today began a special exercise after orders were received from President Vladimir Putin. The move comes at a critical point in the Ukraine war after senior officials in Moscow termed it the "most difficult phase".

Russia's defence ministry said Tuesday that its forces had captured the eastern Ukrainian town of Selydove as Moscow's troops advance closer to the key logistics hub of Pokrovsk.

Russia's President Vladimir Putin said Moscow will use "a range of responses" if the United States and its NATO allies allow Ukraine to use Western long-range weapons to strike inside Russia.

President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that it was Russia's business whether or not it decided to use North Korean troops and said that if Ukraine wanted to join NATO then Moscow could do what it wanted to ensure its own security.

With Western sanctions faced by Russia in the wake of its war in Ukraine, Moscow is most keen to push the idea through not just to break the dollar's dominance but also to showcase to the West that it still has allies and partners on its side.

North Korea's decision to deploy thousands of soldiers to Ukraine's front lines cements Pyongyang's contentious military alliance with Moscow, experts told AFP.

A Ukrainian journalist who was captured by Moscow while reporting from occupied east Ukraine has died in Russian detention, a Ukrainian official said Thursday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday vowed that Moscow would accomplish all goals it has set for itself in Ukraine, in its third year of conflict.

The Kremlin said Thursday that an updated nuclear doctrine that will allow Moscow to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states should be seen as a warning to the West.

Ukraine and Russia are to exchange 13 children, displaced by Moscow's invasion, reuniting them with their families following mediation by Qatar, officials in the Gulf state said Thursday.

Vladimir Putin called for an urgent meeting of Moscow's top security council to discuss its nuclear deterrence. The move comes amid concerns in Russia over Ukraine being allowed by Western powers to use cruise missiles to target locations in Russia.
