Ukraine latest news: Russia says Nord Stream leaks happened in 'US intelligence-controlled territory'

Live reporting by Tom Gillespie and Faith Ridler , updates from Deborah Haynes in Zaporizhzhia, Dominic Waghorn at Georgia border and Alex Rossi and Diana Magnay in MoscowA US candidate has beaten a Russian candidate to be the next Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union.

If Mr Ismailov had become the ITU's Secretary-General, it would have put a Russian as head of the body that oversees the operation of worldwide satelliteenabled phone calls, television, satellite navigation, online maps and internet surfing protocols.Russia is not alone in being accused of engaging in cyber warfare, however.

She told BBC Radio Norfolk:"As Prime Minister I have to do what I believe is right for the country and what's going to help move our country forward... what I think nobody is arguing with is that we had to take action to deal with what is a very, very difficult economic situation and this situation has been caused by Putin's appalling war in Ukraine.

The long lines continued to clog highways out of the country on Wednesday night with some spending days in the queues, and Moscow reportedly set up draft offices at borders to intercept some of them. Russia says Nord Stream leaks occurred in territory 'controlled by US intelligence agencies' It is not the first time Russia has attempted the shift the blame for the ruptures, which numerous parties - including European leaders - say was likely caused by sabotage.

British Prime Minister Liz Truss has spoken with her Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy as Moscow looks poised to annex occupied areas in Ukraine which voted to join Russia in"sham" referendums. The US has said it believes it is too soon to conclude the ruptures to the Nord Stream pipelines were caused by"sabotage"."Many of our partners, I think, have determined or believe it is sabotage.Asked whether any US involvement in the ruptures could be ruled out, the military official said:"We were absolutely not involved.

The nation, one of Europe's poorest countries, allocated just over 1 billion leu - or 0.45% of its gross domestic product - for defence spending this year.The United States will not recognise Russian-annexed areas across Ukraine after what the White House called"illegal and illegitimate" referendums that were manipulated by Moscow.

kiraincongress Joke 😂😂😂 Ukraine and Kyiv are to separate entities

kiraincongress Ukraine doesn't care about eastern Ukrainians and that's why those in the Donbass have decided to join Russia.

Fourth leak revealed on Nord Stream pipelines as Russia denies sabotageTeams with underwater drones are expected to investigate but it could take a week or so before it's safe enough to begin. Russia has denied it sabotaged the pipelines. Which 🤡 thinks Russia would sabotage their own pipe line when they can just easily turn the tap off. Just a coincidence then, that Sweden decided to Join Nato. Its a worrying step towards attacks on Euro countries however they do it. It show Putin is getting more desperate.

Blasts Preceded Underseas Gas Pipeline Leaks Between Russia, GermanyEuropean leaders and experts pointed to possible sabotage amid the energy standoff with Russia provoked by the war in Ukraine But of course. It creates a greater scarcity of gas and by doing so ramps up the cost of it. This creates greater hardship in Europe; which is the intent There is some literal geopolitical insanity. 'Russia might be signaling the pipe's vulnerability by sabotaging their own pipes.' Wut? They blew up the one bargaining chip likely to bring EU to negotiations for spite? No mention of US interest in prolonging proxy war? Biden did say Nord2 would end if Russia invaded Ukraine. Only real question is why wait till fall and not just do it in the spring?

All four occupied areas of Ukraine vote to join Russia in 'sham' referendumsThe preordained outcome sets the stage for a dangerous new phase in Russia's seven-month war in Ukraine because it is expected to serve as a pretext for Moscow to annex the four areas Why bomb a 'sham' referendum?
