Russia's war on Ukraine latest: Zelensky vows to defend 'fortress' Bakhmut: Ukrainians will fight 'for as long as we can' to hold the 'fortress' city of Bakhmut, President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed as he hosted EU leaders to discuss further sanctions on…

The EU's next package of sanctions against Russia will hit the trade and technology that support Moscow's war against Ukraine, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said on Friday.

The US on Friday imposed sanctions on the directors of Iranian drone maker Paravar Pars, with the Treasury department saying Iranian drones were being used by Russia to attack Ukraine's critical infrastructure. Ukraine unveiled a criminal case on Friday against the boss of Russia's Wagner mercenary company, promising to track down and prosecute the company's fighters who try to flee abroad.

“The result will be just the opposite,” Medvedev replied, in comments Fridrikhson posted on her Telegram channel. President Vladimir Putin casts Russia's campaign in Ukraine as an existential defence against an aggressive West and has, like Medvedev, several times brandished the threat of a nuclear response, saying Russia will use all available means to protect itself and its people.
