'Historic' meeting of EU foreign ministers in Kyiv to support Ukraine as allies show signs of strain
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the foreign ministers’ first joint meeting outside EU borders sent a signal that EU support is “unwavering” and underscored the EU’s commitment to Ukraine.
As the EU prepares to vote in European elections, the big issues for Walter Baier, the lead candidate of the European Left, are the cost of living crisis, the war in Gaza and the rise of the far right. He discusses these and other concerns with Aïda Sánchez Alonso in The Global Conversation.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi perished in a helicopter crash in Jolfa, attributed to dense fog and harsh weather conditions. Despite international efforts, including assistance from the European Union, no survivors were found. US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller expressed condolences but maintained the US's unchanged stance towards Iran, citing Raisi's contentious legacy.

Dmitry Medvedev, Russia's Security Council deputy chairman, declared Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a "legitimate military target," citing him as a "war criminal." This statement comes amid ongoing conflict and past assassination attempts on Zelensky. Ukraine's SBU recently thwarted plots involving security officials conspiring with Russia. Medvedev's aggressive rhetoric heightens concerns about Russia targeting Ukrainian leadership.

In a significant development, Russia announced that its troops have liberated the village of Starytsya near Vovchansk in the Kharkiv region as part of a new offensive launched last week. The Russian Defense Ministry stated that their units have advanced deep into Ukrainian defenses. This comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky highlights the urgent need for advanced air defense systems, revealing that Kyiv currently has only a quarter of the required defenses.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has sharply criticised Western countries for imposing restrictions on the use of donated arms, accusing them of being "afraid" of both a Russian and Ukrainian defeat. In a candid interview with AFP on Friday, Zelensky expressed his frustration over the conditions placed on the use of long-range weapons supplied to Kiev. “They can fire any weapons from their territory at ours. This is the biggest advantage that Russia has. We can’t do anything to their systems, which are located on the territory of Russia, with Western weapons,” Zelensky stated in the interview aired on Saturday. This restriction significantly hampers Ukraine's ability to retaliate against Russian forces effectively.
