Russia launched multiple ballistic and cruise missiles against Ukraine on Monday, with explosions felt and heard across Kyiv. Officials say at least seven people were killed. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the number of those injured was unknown as official assessments of the consequences of the attack were being carried out. Russia hit the capital using Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, one of the most advanced Russian weapons, the Ukrainian Air Force said. The Kinzhal flies at 10 times the speed of sound, making it hard to intercept. Buildings in the Ukrainian capital shook from the blasts, acc...

Polish foreign minsiter Radek Sikorski hosted the UK's new foreign minister on Sunday at his mansion in Chobielin, some 300 kilometres northwest of the capital Warsaw. Lammy is seeking to tighten UK relations with the European Union and stress that the new government is just as supportive of Ukraine in its war against Russia. He said he was visiting Britain's “key partners” in Europe — Poland, Germany and Sweden, all NATO members — for cooperation and security talks. He also said that the UK’s military, economic, political and diplomatic support for Ukraine will remain unwavering, but that it ...

Only days into it taking over the rotating presidency of the European Council and Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbán has drawn the ire of Brussels for his unscheduled visit to Vladimir Putin in Moscow. It follows a surprise meeting with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Monday where the two were said to have had a relatively cordial meeting; considering Orban's flat refusal to provide political or military support for war-torn Ukraine. As soon as reports of the Moscow trip emerged, president of the European Council Charles Michel hit out at Orbán reminding him he has "no ma...

Ukraine’s army was forced to retreat from key positions on Thursday as Russia inched closer. A military spokesperson said Ukraine’s army was forced to retreat from the outskirts of Chasiv Yar, a strategically important town in the eastern Donetsk region that has been reduced to rubble after months of Russian shelling. For months, Russian forces have focused on capturing Chasiv Yar. It is strategically located on an elevated location, and its fall would put nearby cities in jeopardy, compromise critical Ukrainian supply routes and bring Russia closer to seizing the Donetsk region. Ukraine's def...

French citizens are not only divided on domestic policy — they disagree on foreign policy, too. If President Emmanuel Macron and a National Rally-led government cohabit, there is a high risk that Ukraine will become a political battleground. This is not because there is no national consensus on support for Ukraine — there is — but because there are divisions on what to do next regarding the war. If politicised, these divisions could destroy the current consensus around supporting Kyiv. An internal fight on Ukraine policy would be highly detrimental to EU unity, to Ukraine, and ultimately to Fr...

Russian shelling struck eastern Ukraine’s Dnipro in a daylight attack that killed at least five and left almost fifty injured. Missiles and drones struck a shopping centre in Dnipro on Wednesday, blowing out windows and raining shards on the street. Local mayor Borys Filatov said the attack also shattered windows in two schools and three kindergartens, and that debris also hit a children’s hospital. A video posted on social media by Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy showed a missile streaking over Ukraine’s fourth largest city. 47 people were injured in the attack, including a 14-year-old...

People in major European countries such as France, Italy, Spain and the UK don’t favour increased defence spending, a poll by the European Council on Foreign Relations has found. That may pose a challenge as the continent seeks to bolster its military in the face of the war in Ukraine, and faces up to the prospect of a US less committed to transatlantic security. The results, based on polls of 19,500 adults in 15 countries, also show many EU citizens sceptical about the bloc expanding to the east, just days after Brussels began the formal process of membership talks with both Ukraine and Moldo...

Finland's Prime Minister Petteri Orpo on Monday urged parliament not to weaken a deportation bill that would allow Finnish border authorities to refuse to accept asylum applications in certain circumstances. The government is trying to pass the measure in response to what it says is a surge in asylum seekers trying to cross the country's 1,340-kilometre border with Russia. "The law that we passed can of course be modified here in parliament, but not watered down. It doesn't make sense to create an emergency law that doesn't work" said Orpo. "From my perspective as Prime Minister, my stance is ...
