For Kosovars, Ukraine’s suffering was not something distant or abstract. We know what it means to watch civilians flee their homes. That history is one reason Kosovo embraced Ukraine so strongly.

A Russian drone strike on Ranok's warehouse in the northeastern city of Kharkiv on August 1 destroyed about 8 million books, the biggest blow yet to Ukraine's publishing industry during the war.

"A decision has been made for 30,000 to 50,000 North Koreans to be deployed on the territory of Russia,” Zelensky announced on Sunday. He did not say where he got the estimate.

The drone was spotted at Germany's Leipzig/Halle, the main operational base for ​NATO's Strategic Airlift International Solution

Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev said the drone was not detected in either Bulgarian or Romanian airspace before the incident.
