Russia has renewed its efforts to break through Ukrainian defences in the north-eastern Kharkiv region, according to Ukrainian authorities. The Ukrainian armed forces rushed reinforcements to Kharkiv on Friday to hold off a Russian attempt to breach local defences, while intense shelling targeted the Ukrainian city of Vovchansk, which is less than five kilometres from the Russian border. The shelling killed at least one civilian and wounded five others, according to regional governor Oleh Syniehubov. Authorities began evacuating about 3,000 people following the attack. At around dawn, Russian ...

In the two years since Russia launched its unprovoked and illegal invasion of Ukraine, the vigorous international support that erupted in response has begun to wane. The recent spectacle of horse-trading at the US Congress on a new $61-billion funding package, together with emerging divergences of opinion in Europe, indicates that competing priorities are leading to a slow dilution of commitments. While Russia may have intended to win with a shock and awe approach, it seems it may be having more success with the long play of attrition and waiting for splits to emerge in the Western alliance. A...

Lithuania is holding a presidential election on Sunday at a time when Russian gains on the battlefield in Ukraine are fueling greater fears across all of Europe about Moscow's intentions, particularly in the strategically important Baltic region. The popular incumbent, Gitanas Nausėda, is favoured to win another five-year term. But eight candidates are running in all, making it unlikely that he or any other candidate can win the 50% of the votes needed to win outright on Sunday. In that case, a runoff would be held two weeks later on 26 May. The president's main tasks in Lithuania's political ...

President Vladimir Putin has turned the event into a pillar of his nearly quarter-century in power and a justification of his move into Ukraine.

The proposal on the table breaks a long-held taboo in Brussels as Russian gas has been until now completely spared from any restrictions, despite repeated calls from Poland, the Baltics, the Nordics and, most passionately, Ukraine. But the plan, designed by the European Commission, falls short of an all-out import ban, as the bloc previously did with coal and seaborne oil. Instead, it aims to prohibit trans-shipments of Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG), meaning the practice of re-exporting LNG that arrives at EU ports to other countries. The Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA...

EU diplomats agreed Wednesday to use income from frozen Russian state assets to aid Ukraine – paving the way for the war-torn country to get around €3 bn for arms purchases and reconstruction before the summer. Since the full-scale invasion of 2022, €210 billion in assets of the Moscow central bank have sat frozen within the bloc – chiefly at the Euroclear depositary in Belgium. The deal was agreed “in principle” at a regular meeting of national representatives, according to a tweet by Belgium, currently chairing talks in the European Council. Brussels has long touted using the interest from t...

Russian forces have unleashed an overnight barrage of more than 50 cruise missiles and explosive drones at Ukraine's power grid, targeting a wide area in an attack that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described as "massive". The bombardment blasted targets in seven Ukrainian regions, including the Kyiv area and parts of the south and west, damaging homes and the country's rail network, authorities said. Officials said three people were injured, including an 8-year-old girl. National electrical grid operator Ukrenergo said facilities were hit in the Vinnytsia, Zaporizhzhia, Kirovohrad, Poltava an...

Approaching nearly a quarter-century in power, Vladimir Putin will place his hand on a copy of the constitution on Tuesday and start another six-year term as president, maintaining his extraordinary authority. Following the 2022 operation in Ukraine that has become Europe’s biggest conflict since World War II, Russia has been heavily sanctioned by the West and is turning other regimes like China and North Korea for support. The question now is what Putin will do over the course of another six years, both at home and abroad. On April 17, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE...

The European Union hosted a defence industry forum on Monday in a bid to find new ways to supply Kiyv with much-needed weapons and ammunition. Some 140 firms from 25 countries attended the event in Brussels, which was meant to link Ukraine's defence industry with those of the EU. Industry representatives met to discuss how Ukraine's industry capacity for defence production could be better matched with that of Europe. They also discussed how Ukrainian firms could amp up production and meet the country's needs at home. This would minimise transportation costs and allow the tools to be produced w...

The attack on Orthodox Easter Sunday - a day celebrated as Easter in both Russia and Ukraine – also injured 24 people in Ukraine's second-largest city and surrounding areas, regional officials said. The Kharkiv and the adjacent Sumy region also saw power cuts after reports of drone attacks and explosions. The largely Russian-speaking city of Kharkiv, just 40 kilometres from the Russian border has come under increasing attacks, with rising fears that it may become the next focal point of Russia’s military campaign. The prosecutor’s office opened a criminal case over violation of laws of war. Ru...
