Pyongyang will "invariably support" Moscow, North Korea's supreme leader, Kim Jong-un, told a visiting Russian delegation last week.

Volodymyr Zelensky’s suggestion that Ukraine could temporarily cede territory to Russia in exchange for joining Nato would mark a “major concession” to Vladimir Putin, the UK’s former ambassador to Russia has said.

Russia has ramped up its aerial attacks on Ukraine in recent weeks, targeting infrastructure as the weather has gotten colder.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he wants to work “directly” with US President-elect Donald Trump and is open to his ideas, highlighting Kyiv’s eagerness to keep its most important ally onside as Russia intensifies its attacks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Sunday that a week of "Russian aerial terror" saw Moscow launch around 500 bombs, 660 drones and 120 missiles into Ukraine.
