Russia-Ukraine war

Talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping focused on Beijing's plan to end the war... as Moscow's offensive stalls around ...

Savukynas says Russian disinformation in Lithuania ramped up in the second half of 2021 and was probably linked to Russia’s preparations to invade Ukraine. This is the call for the process. It was an informational preparation and justification for the aggression that was to come. And in this situation, I think the document that the Chinese present is not a peace plan. Everybody should understand that the key to peace is definitely not in Washington, Kyiv, or even Beijing. And this is a direct message I want to deliver to you from them: we have a lack of ammunition. And this is a fact that Ukraine's armed forces of Ukraine demonstrated since the year 2014. We wouldn't have the crimes in this horrific video, and we would have none of the killing and the harm. We had a great negotiation while Putin tried to encircle Kyiv, while he fought for the Kharkiv region, during the operation in Kherson. Because Putin understands only one language, and this language is a language of strength. I'm proud that my team and I created the Armed forces of Ukraine. If we didn't have the aggression, we would have none of the crimes against humanity or war crimes.

As the Russia-Ukraine war enters its 394th day, we take a look at the main developments.

Zelenskyy told EU leaders that “delays” in sending fighter jets and long-range missiles would extend the war. Hungary signed and ratified the Rome Statute that created the ICC but Hungarian officials said the Rome Statute had not been built into the Hungarian legal system, so there was no basis on which to arrest Putin.

Masha, 12, is now in a children's home after Russian authorities placed her father under house arrest.

"Return Masha to her father!" The images there remind me of the patriotic wall I saw in the centre of town. "The Russian authorities want everyone to toe the line. "Everything in the flat reminds him of her. The Yefremov Juvenile Affairs Commission is taking legal action to officially restrict Alexei's parental rights. The family's problems only began after the girl drew that picture." They should have invited Masha, too, and spoken to her," Vladimir says. Under the rules of his house arrest Alexei is only permitted contact with his lawyer, the investigator and the penitentiary service. To the left is a Ukrainian flag with the words "Glory to Ukraine"; on the right, the Russian tricolour and the inscription "No to war!" "And they told him that he was bringing up his daughter in a bad way." Giant photographs of masked Russian soldiers with guns and supersized letters Z and V - symbols of the country's so-called "special military operation" in Ukraine. His daughter Masha has - for now - been sent to a children's home.

Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky expressed optimism that cooperation with European allies could bring a victory by the end of the year, but he warned there were ...

“We can refer to the Hungarian law and based on that we cannot arrest the Russian President … “The amount of damage and recovery needs currently does not include data on the loss of infrastructure, housing and businesses in the occupied territories,” Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said, referring to areas controlled by Russia's troops. "In such a case, all our weapons will target the Bundestag, the [German] chancellor’s office and so on." And all of a sudden, they make such a move against our head of state," Medvedev said, according to Tass. The majority of damage is concentrated in frontline eastern regions, including Donetsk, Kharkiv and Luhansk. “During the day, they attack with the help of aircraft, artillery and manpower. The updated cost estimate covers damage incurred in the one-year period after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began on Feb. But what is clear is that if there are no delays or stagnation in our cooperation, that if our joint efforts are resolutely focused on Ukraine's victory, the victory will be gained already this year," Zelensky told a meeting of the European Council. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said the mistake was the result of “incorrect use of available data.” It was critical that its accession path to the European Union not be impeded, he said. Cherevatyi drew a distinction between the battle for Bakhmut and fighting elsewhere. “Thus, more than 10 of these guided bombs attacked targets in the Sumy region.
