Putin Russia Ukraine war

A missile strike appears to have killed or wounded scores of people in a crowded shopping mall in central Ukraine. Latest updates.

The default will be another economic blow to President Vladimir Putin as western sanctions have interrupted trade and caused companies to cut ties with Russia. “I've been to war zones before, and I've never seen reconstruction going on while the war was still going on. Last month, the U.S. Treasury Department ended Russia's ability to pay its debt back to international investors through American banks. Russian missiles struck the Ukrainian city of Kyiv on Sunday just before Risch arrived. Leaders were said to be zeroing in on the way Russian oil is shipped. Sullivan said Zelenskyy made clear to officials that a lengthy, grinding conflict is not in the interest of the Ukrainian people. The Group of Seven nations are moving closer to capping the price that countries can pay for Russian oil, a senior U.S. official said. Killnet, a Russia-affiliated hacker group, says it launched the attacks in retaliation for the restrictions imposed by Lithuania, which cited European Union sanctions. The Ukrainians are still fighting hard, but they could use more missiles, advanced rocket systems and artillery, Risch said in a phone interview as he completed his trip. "They put their soldiers and officers into the houses," Striuk said. "We do intend to finalize a package that includes advanced medium- and long-range air- defense capabilities for the Ukrainians, along with some other items that are of urgent need, including ammunition for artillery and counter-battery radar systems,” Sullivan said, according to a pool report. Russian soldiers have begun moving into houses left vacant by Ukrainians who fled the city, he said.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky requested modern antiaircraft systems and more powerful arms to launch counterattacks.

The weapons: Ukraine is making use of weapons such as Javelin antitank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, provided by the United States and other allies. The fight: A slowly regenerating Russian army is making incremental gains in eastern Ukraine against valiant but underequipped Ukrainian forces. Meeting in Germany’s Bavarian Alps, leaders from the Group of Seven, the world’s wealthiest democracies, condemned the mall strike.

Britain’s defense ministry said Russia is likely to rely increasingly on reserve forces in the coming weeks. To the west of Lysychansk on Monday, the mayor of the city of Sloviansk — potentially the next major battleground — said Russian forces fired cluster munitions, including one that hit a residential neighborhood. NATO will agree to deliver further military support to Ukraine — including secure communication and anti-drone systems — when its leaders convene in Spain for a summit later this week, Stoltenberg said. A crucial highway linking the city to government-held territory to the south was rendered impassable. “We are the only people left living in this part of the building. The city’s prewar population of around 100,000 has dwindled to fewer than 10,000. Group of Seven leaders issued a statement late Monday condemning the attack and saying that “indiscriminate attacks on innocent civilians constitute a war crime. Shelling on Monday in Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, killed at least five people and wounded 15. At least eight people were killed and more than 20 wounded in Lysychansk when Russian rockets hit an area where a crowd gathered to obtain water from a tank, Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai said. Zelenskky said that many of the more than 1,000 afternoon shoppers and staff inside the mall managed to escape. The missile strike unfolded as Western leaders pledged continued support for Ukraine, and the world’s major economies prepared new sanctions against Russia, including a price cap on oil and higher tariffs on goods. Russia has increasingly used long-range bombers in the war.

"The logic of the position is so clear. We're working with other countries including Australia on this so that we can ensure that stolen Ukrainian wheat does not find a route to market." Western nations are keen to crank up the pressure on Russia without stoking already soaring inflation that is particularly hurting the global south. But now is the time to step it up," EU energy commissioner Kadri Simson said after a meeting of energy ministers from EU countries. "As G7 we stand united on Ukraine's side and will continue our support. Katyn is a Russian memorial, it is Russian history," Borisov wrote.

Ukraine supplies 10% of the world's wheat, 12%-17% of the world's maize and half of the world's sunflower oil, the British government said in a statement previewing Johnson's comments. Sanctions imposed on Russia so far were, the leaders said, "in defence of the rules-based international order that Russia has so egregiously violated." Ukraine feels the support of the G-7 states. We will also continue to target evasion and backfilling activities," the G-7 said. "We will continue to explore new ways to isolate Russia from participating in the global market and crack down on evasion. The targeted use of coordinated sanctions would, the group said, continue "for as long as necessary." The G-7, in turn, has promised to support Ukraine for "as long as it takes." We will continue to press for her release," a State Department spokesman wrote in a statement to NBC News. President Joe Biden will meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Tuesday on the sidelines of the G-7 summit. We will not rest until Russia ends its cruel and senseless war on Ukraine," the G-7 leaders added. "We're not quite sure about the Russian objectives of the strikes. "We stand united with Ukraine in mourning the innocent victims of this brutal attack.

“We have not been able to bring humanitarian kits for two days in a row because the road along which we were doing this was very heavily shelled,” he said. Again, several hours of shelling again attempt to storm — and so repeatedly.” “Today in Lysychansk, when the civilian population was collecting water from a tanker, the Russians aimed at a crowd of people with MLRS 'Hurricane,'" Hayday said.
