Russia-Ukraine War

Ukrainian President Zelensky condemned Israel's purchase of grain from Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories, stating it cannot be considered legitimate business and warning of sanctions.

Kyiv's EU accession progress had been blocked by Hungary's nationalist premier Viktor Orban, but his defeat in elections earlier this month raised hopes it can move to the next step.

While the Sunday Times was unable to verify Ukrainian intelligence claims, at least 12 reports of Russian infantrymen eating their fellow soldiers have emerged.

Russian news agencies quoted a statement by diplomats at Russia's mission to the European Union as saying the measures were meaningless without a decision from the UN Security Council.

Zelensky said Ukraine was able to secure US weaponry through the PURL program under which NATO countries can finance the purchase of weapons for Kyiv.

Ukraine has proposed Turkey as a neutral venue for Zelenskiy-Putin peace talks, aiming to restart negotiations and avoid meeting in Belarus or Russia.

A shooting in Kyiv's Holosiivskyi district left six dead, including a hostage, after a Russian-born man opened fire on passersby before barricading himself in a supermarket, where police killed him.

A Ukrainian soldier said Russian reconnaissance drones were still circling the area despite the ceasefire, while the Belgorod region's governor said two people were killed by Ukrainian shelling.

Putin's announcement was similar to a 30-hour ceasefire he ordered last year. Each side accused the other of violating it.

There were no reports of injuries or damage to the power station, Estonian authorities said.
