The presidents of Ecuador, Ivory Coast, Kenya and Somalia will join many Western heads of state and government and other leaders at a conference this weekend aimed to plot out first steps toward peace in Ukraine - with Russia notably absent.

A nation entrenched in neutrality has often been solid and unspectacular on the grandest stage. The Swiss have made a habit of progressing beyond the group stages, but they have never bypassed the quarter-finals at a major tournament. Switzerland stunned world champions France at Euro 2020, knocking them out on penalties in the round of 16 following a dramatic late turnaround, but a shootout defeat ensued to Spain in the last eight. Murat Yakin's side can undoubtedly co...

Warsaw (AFP) - When heads of state and senior officials from some 90 countries gather in Switzerland this weekend to discuss Kyiv's proposed plan to end the war in Ukraine, it will be largely due to one person: Volodymyr Zelensky.

The United Nations humanitarian chief, Martin Griffiths, has said that leaders in war-torn countries are prioritising political rivalries and power over the end of fighting. In an interview with the Associated Press, he added that humanitarian workers in conflict zones see the results of political failures in their everyday work. Griffiths comments come as reports say 200 relief workers have been killed in Gaza over the duration of the eighth-month conflict.
