PM reveals favourite book and footballer to Kyiv school kids
Sir Keir Starmer has chatted with schoolchildren in Kyiv on his first visit to the country since he became prime minister in July.
On the visit he met his Ukrainiancounterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy to sign a new agreement which sets out co-operation between the countries that will stretch into the next century.
One pupil asked Starmer to reveal his favourite football player, to which the Arsenal fan replied that it was Martin Ădegaard and that his "all-time favourite Arsenal player is Thierry Henry".
Starmer also revealed that his favourite book is 'Roy of the Rovers', admitting all his books are about football.

Two civilians were killed and at least 10 injuredâincluding four childrenâafter a massive Russian strike barrage on Ukraineâs Zaporizhzhia region. Governor Ivan Fedorov confirmed that 567 attacks were carried out in 24 hours across 16 settlements. Nine buildings were damaged in the Zaporizhzhia city district alone. As rescue operations scramble to contain the fallout, the latest assault underscores Russiaâs continued aggression on front-line Ukrainian cities. Emergency responders remain on-site as fears of more strikes loom.
Though Russia has not commented, both Moscow and Kyiv routinely deny targeting civilians, despite widespread destruction in populated areas. Zaporizhzhia, home to Europeâs largest nuclear plant, has become a battleground of immense strategic importance. The escalating situation brings fresh global attention to the human toll of the war that has killed thousands of Ukrainian civilians since 2022.

Russia launched a devastating wave of missile strikes on Kyiv and Mykolaiv after Ukraine unleashed drone attacks across Russian military and industrial hubs. Explosions rocked both nations in an explosive twoâday escalation, including a drone strike that shut down the crucial Central AsiaâCenter gas pipeline in Volgogradâvital for Russiaâs military energy needs. Ukraine targeted facilities like the Elektropribor plant in Penza and a Shahed-drone airbase in Primorsko-Akhtarsk. Moscow scrambled quickly, intercepting 112 Ukrainian drones and responding with 53 of its own. The retaliation struck civilian zones, reducing homes in Mykolaiv to rubble and seriously wounding several. This sharp escalation follows a Russian drone assault on Kyiv that killed 31 people just hours earlier. With energy infrastructure crippled and cities ablaze, the tit-for-tat violence underscores how the Ukraine war threatens to spiral across bordersâbringing military escalation and civilian suffering to new heights.

Outspoken Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene has condemned U.S. funding for the Ukraine war, calling it a âcomplete betrayalâ of American taxpayers. Referring to Trumpâs 2024 victory, Greene argued that voters had rejected foreign wars, yet Washington continues to finance conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. She accused Democratsâand some neocon Republicansâof pushing an âAmerica LASTâ agenda while warning that such policies will alienate younger voters permanently.
Greene even called Israelâs Gaza offensive a âgenocide,â highlighting deep fractures within Trumpâs GOP. Despite campaign promises to end the war, Trump recently approved additional military support for Kiev, including Patriot missile systems. The debate exposes growing discontent among Republican ranks about endless foreign interventions and unchecked military spending. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials praised Trumpâs support, calling it a vital deterrent against Russian advances. Greene warned that ignoring these political alarm bells could prove disastrous for U.S. unity and voter trust.

Ukraine unleashed a sweeping overnight drone offensive that struck deep inside Russian territory, killing at least three and igniting fires at key military and energy infrastructure sites. The strikes, claimed by Ukraineâs Unmanned Systems Forces and intelligence agency SBU, highlight Kyivâs expanding long-range drone warfare capabilities.
High-value targets included the Ryazan oil refinery near Moscow, the Annanefteprodukt oil facility in Voronezh, and the Primorsko-Akhtarsk military airfieldâallegedly used to launch Iranian-made Shahed drones. In Penza, the Elektropribor electronics plant was hit, killing a woman and injuring two others. Fires and structural damage were also reported in Samara and Rostov, where casualties included an elderly man and a security guard. Russiaâs defense ministry said 112 drones were intercepted during the 9-hour attack, but several breached air defenses. As Ukraine leans on asymmetric warfare, its drone campaign signals a bold shift in strategyâaimed at crippling Russia's war machine beyond the frontlines.

Putin has announced heâs open to meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky â but only after a series of strict and chilling preconditions are met. The Kremlin insists that expert-level negotiations must make significant progress first, while also casting doubt on Zelenskyâs legitimacy, citing the expiration of his presidential term in 2024. Ukraine, meanwhile, accuses Russia of using delay tactics to avoid real peace, with Zelensky demanding direct talks and warning the world not to fall for Moscowâs diplomatic trap

Russia claims it has captured the key town of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine after 16 months of brutal fighting. A verified video shows Russian soldiers raising their flag in the devastated ruins, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and top military officials have called the claim âdisinformationâ and âpropaganda.â Analysts warn the fall, if true, could allow Russia to edge closer to Kostiantynivka and disrupt Ukrainian logistics. Meanwhile, heavy fighting is reported near Pokrovsk, southwest of Chasiv Yar.
The town, once home to over 12,000 residents, now lies in ruins after months of Russian air raids and ground assaults. As battlefield conditions intensify, U.S. President Trump has warned of new sanctions against Moscow and its trade partners if a ceasefire isn't reached soon. With both sides trading claims and video evidence surfacing, Chasiv Yar may mark a new turning point in the eastern front of the war.

On the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, grief fills the streets â but so does anger. Survivors and peace activists gather not just to mourn the past, but to warn the world about the future. As nuclear tensions rise from Ukraine to Gaza, and global powers expand arsenals instead of dismantling them, Hiroshima becomes the rallying cry for a world edging dangerously close to repeating history.

At a press conference, Donald Trump fiercely distanced himself from the Ukraine war, calling it âBidenâs warâ and vowing to end it. Responding to a shocking question about Ukraine conscripting elderly men and individuals with Down Syndrome to fight on the front lines, Trump said, âI havenât heard that... but Iâm here to get us out.â He claimed the war wouldâve never happened under his leadership and criticized the Biden administrationâs continued funding of Ukraineâs military, which he described as âscraping the bottom of the barrel.â
Trump touted his record of stopping five wars and promised Ukraine would be the sixth. He also referenced diffusing tensions between India and Pakistan âwithin days.â The remarks have reignited debates over American military aid and raised concerns about ethical limits in wartime conscription. Trumpâs statement drew applause from some, shock from others, and further polarized an already divisive foreign policy debate.

The US military is facing a critical shortage, with only 25% of Patriot missile interceptors remaining due to intense usage in the Middle East. Trumpâs escalation of the Iran conflict and the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites have drained vital stockpiles, forcing a temporary halt on weapons transfers to Ukraine. This freeze sparked political turmoil, but was later reversed amid rising tensions with Putin. With Iranâs growing ballistic missile arsenal and limited US production capacity, the Pentagon warns this crisis could jeopardize future military operations worldwide. Stay tuned as this unfolding situation threatens global security.
