The Ukrainian leader has secured new weapons pledges, but it was not clear when the aid would arrive, or how consequential it would be on the battlefield.
The Ukrainian leader secured new weapons pledges this week from allies, but it was not clear how soon they would arrive, or how significant a boost they could provide to Ukraine’s slow push to take back territory.
Three weeks after a mutiny by Wagner mercenaries, the Russian leader says he suggested that the group’s chief be sidelined and that its members fight under a different commander.
Settlements along Ukraine’s eastern steppe were reduced to wreckage as the war passed through them. Now choked with weeds and with few residents, they are at risk of disappearing.
The Russian leader said the U.N.-brokered deal that lets Ukraine export its grain across the Black Sea had been a “one-sided game” and that Moscow might suspend participation on July 17.
The Wagner group mutiny three weeks ago has exposed dissension and fueled a shake-up in the Russian military, as it tries to fend off a Ukrainian advance.
