Ukraine says Russia has launched an ICBM in an attack for the first time in the war

Ukraine says Russia has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile targeting Dnipro city in the central-east of the country, the first time Moscow has used such a missile in the war. It wasn't clear exactly what type of missile was fired overnight, but Ukraine's air force said in a statement on Telegram on Thursday that it was launched from Russia's Astrakhan region. The development comes as the war has taken on a growing international dimension with the arrival of North Korean troops to help Russia on the battlefield.

Trump put Musk on phone with Zelenskyy during congratulatory call, official says

EU pledges to loan Ukraine up to $57 billion to help rebuild its economy and power grid

The European Union pledged on Friday to lend Ukraine up to €35 billion ($57 billion) as part of a loan package organised by the Group of Seven (G7) major industrial nations, as it seeks to help the country rebuild its economy and its war-shattered power grid. G7 leaders agreed in June to engineer a $US50 billion ($73.5 billion) loan to help Ukraine in its fight for survival. Interest earned on profits from Russia's frozen central bank assets would be used as collateral, but progress in distributing the loans has been slow.

Wife of Ukraine’s top military intelligence official hospitalised with apparent heavy metals poisoning

The wife of Ukraine's top military intelligence official has been hospitalised with apparent heavy metals poisoning, according to Ukrainian and Western officials. Marianna Budanova is the wife of Kyrylo Budanov, whose military intelligence agency GUR has been deeply involved in Ukraine's efforts to oust Russia from its territory, and Western officials have been immediately suspicious that Russian agents may have paid off a staff member to carry out the poisoning. Test results show that Ukrainian Defence Intelligence staff have also been sickened, according to Andriy Yusov, a spokesman for the agency, and Ukraine is investigating the situation. American and Western intelligence officials have not independently verified the poisoning but believe Ukrainian reports to be a...

Russia has turned food, energy and even children into weapons against Ukraine, Zelenskyy says at UN

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that Russia is “weaponizing” everything from food and energy to abducted children in its war against Ukraine — and he warned world leaders that the same could happen to them. “When hatred is weaponized against one nation, it never stops there,” he said at the U.N. General Assembly’s annual top-level meeting. “The goal of the present war against Ukraine is to turn our land, our people, our lives, our resources into weapons against you — against the international rules-based order.” The war in Ukraine has deepened major global supply disruptions caused by the pandemic, driving a huge spike in food and energy prices, jolting the global economy and increasing hardship in many developing countries. Decades-old e...
