One of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's senior political advisors said talks were underway regarding long-range missiles for Ukraine, as well as attack aircraft. "Each war stage requires certain weapons. Amassing RF's (Russia's) reserves in the occupied territories require specifics from (Ukraine) & partners," Mykhailo Podolyak wrote on Twitter. "So: 1. There is already a tank coalition (logistics, training, supply). 2. There are already talks on longer-range missiles & attack aircraft supply," he added. Ukraine has asked its allies for fighter jets to help it combat Russia's invasion but allies are reluctant to commit. The U.S., German and U.K. have ruled out sending jets to Ukraine, but other allies, such as Lithuania and Poland, are keen that Kyiv should have access to the weaponry it needs to fight Russia. — Holly Ellyatt

The Kremlin on Wednesday welcomed a Russian company's offer of "bounty payments" for soldiers who destroy Western-made tanks on the battlefield in Ukraine, saying it would spur Russian forces to victory. The Russian company Fores this week offered 5 million roubles ($72,000) in cash to the first soldiers who destroy or capture U.S.-made Abrams or German Leopard 2 tanks in Ukraine. On Wednesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russian troops would "burn" any Western tanks that were delivered to Ukraine, adding the bounties were extra encouragement for Russian soldiers. — Reuters

Russian forces have almost completely surrounded Bakhmut in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, according to a Russian-installed official. "Artemovsk [the Russian name for Bakhmut] is now in an operational encirclement, our forces are closing the ring," Yan Gagin, an aide to Denis Pushilin, the acting head of the pro-Russian, separatist "Donetsk People's Republic," told the Rossiya-24t tv channel, according to state news agency Tass. Gagin said battles are now taking place to control the highway between Bakhmut and the nearby town of Chasiv Yar. He said "this is the only artery through which Ukraine can supply its group in Artemovsk." CNBC was unable to immediately verify the claims but Russian forces have been trying to capture Bakhmut for months and have been seen to have been advancing in the area in recent weeks. — Holly Ellyatt

Spain plans to send between four and six German-built Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine, newspaper El Pais reported on Wednesday, citing unidentified government sources. The actual number will depend on the condition of the battle tanks in storage and how many other countries will eventually supply to Ukraine, the sources told El Pais. A spokesperson for the Spanish Defence Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Kyiv secured pledges from the West this month to supply main battle tanks to help fend off Russia's invasion, with Moscow mounting huge efforts to make incremental advances in eastern Ukraine. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Tuesday his government expects to receive 120 to 140 Western tanks from a coalition of 12 countries in a first wave. Kuleba said those tanks would include German Leopard 2, British Challenger 2 and U.S. M1 Abrams tanks, and that Ukraine was also "really counting" on supplies of French Leclerc tanks being agreed. — Reuters

Zelenksyy signals Kyiv ready to unroll new reforms as it pursues EU membership

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that Kyiv is preparing new reforms as it prepares for a summit with top EU officials at the end of the week. "We are preparing new reforms in Ukraine. Reforms that will change the social, legal and political reality in many ways, making it more human, transparent and effective. But these details will be announced later, based on the results of the relevant meetings," Zelenskyy said in his nightly address. Ukraine will host European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other top EU officials on Friday, with hopes high in Kyiv that its application to join the EU will continue to progress. "This week will be a week of European integration in every sense of the word," Zelenskyy said. "We are expecting news for Ukraine. We are expecting the decisions from our partners in the European Union that will be in line with the level of cooperation achieved between our institutions and the EU, as well as with our progress. Progress, which is obvious - even despite the full-scale war," he said. "We are preparing Ukrainian positions for negotiations with EU representatives," he added. Ukraine applied to join the 27-member political and economic bloc last year, just days after Russia invaded last February, and wants its application fast-tracked. Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said earlier this week that Kyiv hopes it can join the EU within two years. Other counties in Europe, such as North Macedonia and Montenegro, have been waiting more than a decade to have their membership applications progress, however, and there are expectations that EU officials could try to temper Ukraine's expectations during their visit. — Holly Ellyatt

U.S. readies $2 billion-plus Ukraine aid package with longer-range weapons, sources say

The United States is readying more than $2 billion worth of military aid for Ukraine that is expected to include longer-range rockets for the first time as well as other munitions and weapons, two U.S. officials briefed on the matter told Reuters on Tuesday. The aid is expected to be announced as soon as this week, the officials said. It is also expected to include support equipment for Patriot air defense systems, precision-guided munitions and Javelin anti-tank weapons, they added. One of the officials said a portion of the package, expected to be $1.725 billion, would come from a fund known as the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which allows President Joe Biden's administration to get weapons from industry rather than from U.S. weapons stocks. The White House declined to comment. The contents and size of aid packages can shift until they are signed by the president. In addition to the USAI funds, more than $400 million worth of aid was expected to come from Presidential Drawdown Authority funds, which allows the president to take from current U.S. stocks in an emergency. That aid was expected to include mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles (MRAPs), guided multiple launch rocket systems (GMLRS) and ammunition. The U.S. has sent approximately $27.2 billion worth of security assistance to Ukraine since Russia's February 2022 invasion. Russia calls the invasion a "special operation." — Reuters

U.S. accuses Russia of endangering nuclear arms control treaty

Russia's refusal to allow on-the-ground inspections to resume is endangering the New START nuclear treaty and U.S.-Russian arms control overall, the Biden administration charged. The finding was delivered to Congress and summarized in a statement by the State Department. It follows months of more hopeful U.S. assessments that the two countries would be able to salvage cooperation on limiting strategic nuclear weapons despite high tensions over Russia's war on Ukraine. Inspections of U.S. and Russian military sites under the New START treaty were paused by both sides because of the spread of the coronavirus in March 2020. The U.S.-Russia committee overseeing implementation of the treaty last met in October 2021, but Russia then unilaterally suspended its cooperation with the treaty's inspection provisions in August 2022 to protest U.S. support for Ukraine. "Russia's refusal to facilitate inspection activities prevents the United States from exercising important rights under the treaty and threatens the viability of U.S.-Russian nuclear arms control," the State Department said Tuesday. The administration also blamed Russia for the two country's failure to resume talks required under the New START treaty. — Associated Press

Bakhmut in Donetsk remains the key target for Russian forces in eastern Ukraine, a spokesman of the Eastern Group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Serhii Cherevaty, said during a national telethon Tuesday. "Bakhmut continues to be one of the main directions of the enemy's attack. There, they struck our positions with rocket-propelled artillery 197 times" over the past day, he said, in comments reported by news agency Ukrinform. He added that 42 combat clashes had taken place in the same timeframe with 277 Russian soldiers killed and 258 wounded. Cherevaty said Russian troops were unable to cut the route used to supply Ukrainian forces defending Bakhmut despite the repeated attacks. "So far they have not succeeded. Everything is being done to prevent them from blocking the movement of our units. All the necessary ammunition, equipment, food, are being delivered to Bakhmut," Cherevaty said. CNBC was unable to immediately verify the information. — Holly Ellyatt

Russia claims further advances in Donetsk

Russia's defense ministry claimed that its armed forces in Ukraine have seized another village in Donetsk. Russian troops have reportedly captured the village of Blahodatne in the region (the area pro-Russian separatists call the "Donetsk People's Republic" or DPR), according to an official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov. Ukraine has not commented on the claim, but Russia has been seen to have made incremental gains in the Donetsk region around Vuhledar, to the southwest of the city of Donetsk. Yan Gagin, an advisor to the acting head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, told the Rossiya-1 TV channel Tuesday that Russian forces in Donetsk are taking control of one settlement after another, and are advancing on Bakhmut, capturing which is a key strategic goal for Russia. "Our troops in Artemovsk [Russia's name for Bakhmut] are advancing, and they are taking settlement after settlement, moving quite actively," he said in comments reported by news agency Tass and translated by Google. The U.K.'s Ministry of Defence said Tuesday that, in the last three days, Russia likely developed its probing attacks around the Donetsk towns of Pavlivka and Vuhledar into a "more concerted assault." The settlements lie around 30 miles southwest of the city of Donetsk, and Russia previously used the 155th Naval Infantry Brigade in an unsuccessful assault on the same area in November 2022, the ministry noted on Twitter. —Holly Ellyatt

Japan announced a contribution of almost $10 million to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, to finance emergency measures in Ukraine. "I thank Japan for its commitment to UNESCO, which touches on all areas of our mandate and benefits many parts of the world. Japan's support has reached a record level this year: I see this as a strong testimony to the confidence in our organization," said Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, in a release. UNESCO has previously verified that more than 230 cultural sites in Ukraine have been damaged since Russia's invasion last February. — Amanda Macias

This content was produced in Russia, where the law restricts coverage of Russian military operations in Ukraine. MOSCOW — Russian consumer demand contracted at its fastest pace in seven years in 2022 and real disposable incomes fell, new data shows, as the country's population felt the effects of its dimming economic prospects. Russia's export-dependent economy has withstood the impact of sanctions better than first expected, but still suffered a GDP contraction of around 2.5%, as the West imposed restrictions in an effort to punish Moscow over its actions in Ukraine. Although its economic outlook this year is not so gloomy, Russia faces a labor market shortage, lower oil and gas revenues as price caps and embargoes kick in, as well as a sharply widening budget deficit, 2023 looks set to present new challenges for the government. Real disposable incomes fell 1% in 2022, preliminary data from the Rosstat federal statistics service showed. Real wages, which are adjusted for inflation, rose 0.3% year-over-year in November, just the second positive reading since March. Retail sales, a key gauge of consumer demand, slumped by 6.7% in 2022, the poorest showing since 2015, while in December they were down 10.5% year-over-year, the worst monthly performance since May 2020 and the height of the coronavirus pandemic. — Reuters

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy embarked on a European tour to drum up aid, winning a British pledge to train Ukrainian pilots on advanced NATO fighter jets, a big step up in Western military support. On just his second trip abroad since Russian forces invaded Ukraine last year, he met British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and addressed parliament in London. He was later due in Paris for dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, before a European Union leaders' summit in Brussels. In his speech to British lawmakers, Zelenskyy repeatedly hammered home his plea for combat aircraft, which he referred to as "wings for freedom." Western countries have so far stopped short of providing warplanes or weapons that can strike deep inside Russia. Ukraine "will do everything possible and impossible to make the world provide us with modern planes to empower and protect pilots who will be protecting us," Zelenskyy said. He gave a pilot's helmet to parliamentary speaker Lindsay Hoyle carrying the message: "We have freedom, give us wings to protect it." — Reuters

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pushed for fighter jets to ensure his country's victory over Russia in a dramatic speech before the U.K. Parliament, where he also thanked the British people for their support since "Day One" of Moscow's invasion. The embattled leader's surprise visit to Britain in a bid for more advanced weapons comes as Ukraine braces for an expected Russian offensive and hatches its own plans to retake land held by Moscow's forces. Support from Western allies has been key to Ukraine surprisingly stiff defense, and the two sides are engaged in grinding battles. It was only Zelenskyy's second foreign trip since Russia invaded on Feb, 24, 2022, and he visited the U.S. — Associated Press

Zelenskyy also said that he knew the U.K. stood side-by-side with Ukraine in its determination to win the war. "The United Kingdom is marching with us, I think, towards the most important victory of our lifetime. It will be a victory over the very idea of the war," he said.

The U.K. has expanded its sanctions against Russia, putting more pressure on "Russian military and Kremlin elites," it said. The latest sanction package hits six entities providing military equipment such as drones for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, as well as eight individuals and one entity "connected to nefarious financial networks that help maintain wealth and power amongst Kremlin elites," the U.K.'s Foreign Office said in a statement. Among the organizations targeted by these latest sanctions are CST, a manufacturer of Russian drones which have been used to destroy Ukrainian combat vehicles, and RT-Komplekt which produces parts for helicopters used by Russia in their assault on Ukraine. Among the individuals sanctioned are Nikolay Egorov, who was until recently the deputy chairman of the largest privately owned oil refinery in Russia, and Sergey Rudnov, the owner of pro-Kremlin news outlet Regum. The sanctions were unveiled on Wednesday as Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made his first visit to the U.K. since the Russian invasion. He met British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and addressed the British Parliament, and is due to meet King Charles. British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said "these new sanctions accelerate the economic pressure on Putin – undermining his war machine to help Ukraine prevail." "I am determined, consistent with our laws, that Russia will have no access to the assets we have frozen until it ends, once and for all, its threats to Ukraine's territorial sovereignty and integrity." — Holly Ellyatt

"You didn't compromise your ideals, you didn't compromise the strength of this great island," he said. Zelenskyy also thanked former Prime Minister Boris Johnson for helping to coordinate a united international response to the war. "Boris, you got others united when it seemed absolutely, absolutely impossible. Thank you," he said. — Karen Gilchrist

The international team investigating the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17) by a missile has convincing evidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin personally signed off on a decision to allow the Russian missile system into Ukraine, Dutch prosecutors said on Wednesday. The BUK-TELAR missile system was used to shot down MH17 on its way from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur over eastern Ukraine on July 17, 2014, investigators said. However, they said the evidence was not enough to lead to prosecution. — Reuters

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet King Charles during his U.K. visit on Wednesday, Buckingham Palace said, according to the PA news agency. Zelenskyy is making his first visit to the U.K. since the war began and will meet British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The leaders will discuss a two-pronged approach to U.K. support for Ukraine, "starting with an immediate surge of military equipment to the country to help counter Russia's spring offensive, and reinforced by long-term support," the government said in a statement. The U.K., one of Ukraine's biggest supporters, said it was planning to step up its "delivery of lethal aid into the country" and was prepared to "to train fighter jet pilots and marines" for Kyiv. — Holly Ellyatt

One person died and another was hospitalized following missile attacks on the northeastern region of Kharkiv on Tuesday, according to the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration. Oleg Synehubov posted on Telegram that Russian forces had "massively shelled" a number of settlements in the region Tuesday, with a 16 year-old girl injured in one attack on Vovchansk, and an elderly woman dying as a result of shelling. "As a result of the shelling, the city hospital of Vovchansk was repeatedly damaged, and a fire broke out," he said in comments translated by Google. He also posted that four Russian missiles, believed to be from a Russian S-300 air defense missile system, hit a "civil industry facility" in Kharkiv city last night. "Buildings were destroyed, there was a large-scale fire ... Fortunately, no one was hurt," he said. CNBC was unable to verify the information in the report. A Ukrainian official said Tuesday that Russia's anticipated offensive, set to begin within weeks, could see its forces target the Kharkiv region as well as Zaporizhzhia in the south. — Holly Ellyatt

Zelenskyy to make surprise visit to UK today

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is due to arrive in the U.K. for a surprise visit — and his first to the country since the Russian invasion began last year. Zelenskyy is due to meet Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and visit Ukrainian troops who are on training missions in the country, and will address the British Parliament. The government said in a statement that the visit comes as it is stepping up its "delivery of lethal aid into the country, and prepares to train fighter jet pilots and marines." The leaders will discuss a two-pronged approach to U.K. support for Ukraine, "starting with an immediate surge of military equipment to the country to help counter Russia's spring offensive, and reinforced by long-term support." Ukraine has asked its NATO allies for fighter jets, particularly F-16s, in order to bolster its defense capabilities against Russia. So far, NATO members have not agreed to jets but there are murmurings that Ukraine could be offered some kind of fighter aircraft. U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is expected to offer to bolster the U.K.'s training for Ukrainian troops, including expanding it to fighter jet pilots "to ensure Ukraine can defend its skies well into the future." "The training will ensure pilots are able to fly sophisticated NATO-standard fighter jets in the future. As part of that long-term capability investment, the U.K. will work with Ukraine and international allies to coordinate collective support to meet Ukraine's defensive needs." Zelenskyy's visit to London comes ahead of a possible trip to Brussels Thursday. The working trips abroad come at a delicate time in the war with Ukraine preparing for Russia to launch a large-scale offensive in the coming weeks, and to launch its own spring counter-offensive. — Holly Ellyatt

Battle for Bakhmut intense as Russia claims further advances

Russian and Ukrainian forces have been battling for control over the eastern Donetsk city of Bakhmut for months, but Russia recently claimed that it has almost encircled the city, and on Wednesday one military commander said Russian troops now occupy several streets in the city. Russia's Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Tuesday that military operations were progressing "successfully" around Vuhledar and Bakhmut (or "Artemovsk," as Russia calls the city) and on Wednesday, Russian media reported comments from a Russian special forces commander who claimed Russian units were advancing into Bakhmut. "Combat operations to block Artemovsk [Bakhmut] are being carried out successfully. Significant progress has been made on the right side of the city. Several large streets are occupied," Apty Alaudinov, Akhmat special forces commander, said on Telegram in comments translated by Google and reported by news agency Tass. Alaudinov said "the question of the final capture of the city is connected only with the task of preserving the personnel of our units as much as possible," adding that Ukraine had suffered large losses, a claim that Ukraine also says of Russia. On Tuesday, Ukraine said over 1,000 Russian soldiers had been killed in the previous 24 hours. CNBC could not verify the information. Ukraine has repeatedly said that fighting around Bakhmut is intense but has denied its troops are in danger of being surrounded imminently. On Wednesday, its General Staff of the armed forces said in an update that Russian forces were "trying to take full control of Donetsk and Luhansk" and continued to focus on its offensives on Bakhmut and the surrounding area. Ukraine said Russia "suffers significant losses, especially in manpower." — Holly Ellyatt

Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands pledge at least 100 Leopard 1 tanks to Ukraine

Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands issued a joint statement tuesday promising to give Ukraine at least 100 Leopard 1 A5 battle tanks, as well as the logistical support, training, spare parts and ammunition required to use them. The tanks are to be provided from industrial stocks, Germany's Federal Ministry of Defence said in a statement , with the first tanks due to be delivered in a few months. Germany said the tanks initiative is open to other partners, and Belgium is interested in participating in the joint effort. The Leopard 1 A5 "is a robust and assertive Western-designed main battle tank," the statement said, but the tank is older (it first entered service in 1965) than the several hundred Leopard 2s that various allies, including Germany, have promised Ukraine. "This initiative will contribute to substantially and sustainably strengthening the Ukrainian armed forces and complement the efforts already underway to support Ukraine with LEOPARD 2 main battle tanks," the ministry said. The main issue now is supplying Ukraine with battle tanks fast enough, particularly as it looks to counter a spring offensive by Russia. — Holly Ellyatt

Russian offensive could include Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions, security chief says

Ukraine's national security chief said Russia could also target the southern Zaporizhzhia region or northeast region of Kharkiv when it launches an expected large-scale offensive in the coming weeks. Oleksiy Danilov, head of the National Security and Defence Council, told Reuters Tuesday that "attempts at an offensive in either the Kharkiv or Zaporizhzhia direction will of course be made," he said. "How successful they'll be will depend on us," he told the news agency. Kyiv "doesn't exclude" a new offensive to capture Kharkiv, an area of the country that Ukraine's forces had managed to push Russian forces out of last September, but Danilov said the capturing of Luhansk and Donetsk in eastern Ukraine remains Russia's key aim. Danilov said it's likely that Moscow wants some tangible military success to present to the Russian public around the one-year anniversary of its invasion on Feb. 24. "They need to have something to show before their people, and have a major desire to do something big, as they see it, by this date." Danilov was skeptical that Russian forces would attack the country from Belarusian territory because "there are clearly not enough forces there," Reuters reported. — Holly Ellyatt

Russian team should not be allowed at 2024 Games in Paris if war continues, city's mayor says

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo says there should be no Russian delegation allowed at the Paris Olympics next year if Moscow continues its war against Ukraine. Hidalgo previously said Russian competitors could take part under a neutral flag but she backpedaled on Tuesday in an interview with French media France Info. Acknowledging that a final decision belongs to the International Olympic Committee, Hidalgo said she wishes Russian athletes will be banned "as long as there is this war, this Russian aggression on Ukraine." "It is not possible to parade as if nothing had happened, to have a delegation that comes to Paris while the bombs continue to rain down on Ukraine." Hidalgo's comments came after Ukraine's sports minister last week renewed a threat to boycott the games if Russia and Belarus are allowed to compete and said Kyiv would lobby others to join. No nation has so far declared it will boycott the 2024 Summer Games. But Ukraine won support from Poland, the Baltic nations and Denmark, who pushed back against an IOC plan to allow delegations from Russia and ally Belarus to compete in Paris as "neutral athletes" without flags or anthems. — Associated Press

Russian forces trying to break through Ukraine's defenses around Bakhmut

Russian troops are attempting to push through Ukraine's defenses in the Bakhmut and Lyman area but are suffering large losses, according to an update by Ukraine's Ground Forces on Facebook Tuesday. "Ukrainian defenders are heroically repelling the attacks of the Russian occupiers along the entire line of the eastern front," Ukraine's Ground Forces said in a statement. "In the eastern direction of the front, the Russian occupiers do not stop their offensive attempts in the Lyman and Bakhmut directions," the statement, translated by Google, noted. It added that Russian forces continue "to make attempts to break through our defenses" but suffer "heavy losses." "On the approaches to Bakhmut, our military showed great endurance and professionalism, which hindered the enemy's actions and caused enormous losses in manpower for the Russian occupiers," the statement continued, saying that as a result, Russian forces had not been able to break through the defenses of the "Bakhmut fortress." CNBC was unable to verify the information in the update. Russian forces and mercenaries belonging to the private military company known as the Wagner Group have been attempting to capture Bakhmut for months. Capturing the city in Donetsk is seen as a strategic goal for Russia as it tries to seize the region and wider Donbas area of eastern Ukraine. Russia is expected to launch a large-scale offensive action to try to seize Donbas in the coming weeks. — Holly Ellyatt

Russia moves troops into eastern Ukraine ahead of offensive, says governor

Russia is moving troops into eastern Ukraine ahead of its anticipated offensive, a Ukrainian governor warned Monday. "We are seeing more and more (Russian) reserves being deployed in our direction, we are seeing more equipment being brought in," Serhiy Haidai, Ukraine's governor of the mainly Russian-occupied Luhansk province, said Monday, according to Reuters. "They bring ammunition that is used differently than before - it is not round-the-clock shelling anymore. They are slowly starting to save, getting ready for a full-scale offensive," Haidai told Ukrainian television. "It will most likely take them 10 days to gather reserves. After Feb. 15 we can expect (this offensive) at any time." Ukrainian officials have been warning for weeks that Russia is planning to launch a large-scale offensive in mid-February — and perhaps times to coincide with the first anniversary of the invasion — in order to try to capture the entire eastern Donbas region. Fighting has been relentlessly intense in Donetsk and Luhansk, which make up the Donbas, for months. Ukraine is in a tricky position as it prepares to defend its positions in eastern Ukraine but awaits battle tanks and longer-range weaponry from its international allies. The delivery of tanks could take several months at least, Western officials say. — Holly Ellyatt

An aerial picture was taken of gravediggers creating new graves for victims of a Russian missile strike in the village of Hroza. In the attack on Thursday, a missile crashed into a cafe in Hroza as people had gathered to mourn a fallen Ukrainian soldier, Reuters reported at the time. Hroza was captured by Moscow shortly after the Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February last year. Ukrainian forces recaptured it in Sept., 2022. — Hannah Ward-Glenton

Ihor Tanstsyura was dismissed, a decree published on the presidential website said, and Barhylevych appointed with no reason given for the change in command. Tanstsyura had held his position since May 2022. Since last year, Barhylevych had been serving as chief of staff of troops in eastern Ukraine, Reuters noted Monday. The Territorial Defense Forces are responsible for protecting critical facilities, organizing resistance units and combating enemy sabotage and intelligence forces. — Holly Ellyatt

Kyiv says Russia is planning disinformation campaign to discredit it in the Middle East

Kyiv said Russia is planning to launch a disinformation campaign to discredit Ukraine in the Middle East, claiming Moscow was planning to allege that Ukraine had supplied Western-supplied weapons to Hamas militants. "The special operations units of Russia are conducting a campaign to discredit Ukraine in the Middle East," Ukraine's main intelligence department said on Telegram Monday . It said Russia was looking to exploit the Palestinian militant group Hamas' attack against Israel in order to undermine Ukraine. The intelligence department claimed that the Russian army had given Hamas "trophy weapons manufactured in the USA and EU states, that were captured during the hostilities in Ukraine." "The next step, according to the plan of the Russians, should be fake accusations [involving] the Ukrainian military in the alleged sale of Western weapons to terrorists on a regular basis." "As part of the Kremlin's disinformation campaign, these fakes should form the basis of a number of 'revealing publications' and 'investigations' in the Western media," the intelligence department added. It did not provide evidence for its claims and CNBC was unable to verify the information. Ukraine said Russia "aimed at discrediting the Armed Forces of Ukraine and [encouraging] the complete cessation of military aid to our country from Western partners." Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, having offered his support and condolences for those killed in deadly attacks that erupted in the country after Hamas launched an audacious and large-scale attack on Saturday. — Holly Ellyatt

Ukraine's Zelenskyy criticizes Iran's role in Ukraine and Israel conflicts

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday linked the assault by Hamas on Israel with Russia's invasion of Ukraine and criticized Iran over both conflicts. Israel was caught off guard on Saturday when the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas launched a devastating attack. "The only difference is that there is a terrorist organization that attacked Israel and here is a terrorist state that attacked Ukraine. The intentions declared are different, but the essence is the same," Zelenskyy told NATO's Parliamentary Assembly in Copenhagen via video link. Iran has denied it has supplied Russia with Shahed kamikaze drones for use in Ukraine and has said it is not involved in the weekend's attacks on Israel. Ukraine said about 1,000 Iranian-designed Shahed drones were used by Russia over the past six months. "Iran can't say it has nothing to do with what is going on in Ukraine if it sells Shaheds (drones) to Russia. Iran can't say it has nothing to do with what is going on in Israel, if its officials claim the support of what is going on in Israel," Zelenskyy said. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said there was no evidence Iran was behind the latest attacks on Israel but he said there are long standing ties between Tehran and Hamas. Zelenskyy urged Western unity in the face of global events. "This is not the time to withdraw from the international arena into internal disputes. This is not the time to isolate ourselves. This is not the time to remain silent or pretend that the terror on one continent does not affect global affairs," Zelenskyy said. — Reuters

Kremlin 'extremely concerned' about Israel crisis, but has no plans to call Middle Eastern leaders

The Kremlin said Monday that the conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas posed "a very great danger for the region," but said Russian President Vladimir Putin has no calls scheduled with Middle Eastern leadership. Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov commented Monday that the Kremlin had little to add to a Russian Foreign Ministry statement made on Saturday, in which Russia called for a cease-fire and blamed the West for failing to tackle long-term tensions between the Israeli and Palestinian authorities. Nonetheless, Peskov said the Kremlin was "extremely concerned" by the violence. "We believe that it is necessary to bring this situation into a peaceful direction as soon as possible, because the continuation of such a round of violence, of course, is fraught with further escalation and growth of this conflict. This is a great danger for the region, so we are extremely concerned," Peskov said, according to comments published by Tass news agency. Peskov said Putin does not yet plan to contact Israeli or Palestinian officials. — Holly Ellyatt

Russia-Iran ties likely to deepen further as sanctions unite them

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has accelerated its partnership with Iran, with ties likely to continue to deepen as both states seek to mitigate Western sanctions, Britain's Ministry of Defense said Monday. "International isolation has forced Russia to redirect its foreign policy efforts towards previously less-desirable partnerships to gain diplomatic, economic and military support," the U.K. noted in an intelligence update on X, formerly known as Twitter. "Iran recently claimed that Russia had invested $2.76 billion into Iran in 2022-23. Economic ties are highly likely to deepen as Russia seeks to mitigate sanctions," it added. Iranian military aid to Russia's campaign in Ukraine has included thousands of "one-way attack uncrewed aerial vehicles" that have become a core element of Russia's long-range strikes into Ukraine, and artillery munitions. "This arrangement has now been extended to include assembling and production of these UAVs, under licence, in a facility in Russia," the U.K. noted, adding that "Russo-Iranian diplomatic and economic ties have also intensified." Russia's engagement with Iran through multinational forums will almost certainly increase following Iran's recent admission into the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, and its invitation to join the economic BRICS grouping, the ministry said. — Holly Ellyatt

Kremlin already trying to exploit Hamas-Israeli conflict, analysts say

Russia is likely to try to use the eruption of violence in Israel to distract from its operations in Ukraine, analysts at the Institute for the Study of War noted in analysis on Saturday. "The Kremlin is already and will likely continue to exploit the Hamas attacks in Israel to advance several information operations intended to reduce U.S. and Western support and attention to Ukraine," the ISW said . Noting that the Kremlin had already amplified several information operations after Hamas' attacks in Israel on Saturday — primarily blaming the West for neglecting conflicts in the Middle East in favor of supporting Ukraine — the ISW said Russia was claiming the international community will cease to pay attention to Ukraine. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev claimed on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the U.S. and its allies should have been "busy with" working on "Palestinian-Israeli settlement" rather than "interfering" with Russia and providing Ukraine with military aid . Meanwhile, Russia's Foreign Ministry accused the West of creating the basis for the current violence, saying it was a "direct consequence of the chronic failure to comply with the relevant resolutions of the UN and its Security Council and the actual blocking by the West of the work of the Middle East "quartet" of international mediators consisting of Russia, the USA, the EU and the UN." The ISW also noted that a prominent Russian propagandist Sergei Mardan stated on Telegram that Russia will benefit from the escalation as the world "will take its mind off Ukraine for a while and get busy once again putting out the eternal fire in the Middle East." Commenting on the emergence of such narratives, the ISW said "these Kremlin narratives target Western audiences to drive a wedge in military support for Ukraine, seek to demoralize Ukrainian society by claiming Ukraine will lose international support, and intend to reassure Russian domestic audiences that the international society will ignore Ukraine's war effort." — Holly Ellyatt

Russia called on Israel and Palestinian forces to reach an "immediate ceasefire" after violence flared on Saturday. Russia's foreign ministry said Moscow "is gravely concerned over a sharp escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict." "We call on the Palestinian and Israeli sides to implement an immediate ceasefire, renounce violence, exercise the necessary restraint and establish, with the assistance of the international community, a negotiation process aimed at establishing a comprehensive, lasting and long-awaited peace in the Middle East," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement. Moscow has traditionally trodden a fine diplomatic line between its oil-producing Arab allies and Israel. On Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is due to hold talks in Moscow with Ahmed Aboul Gheit, the secretary-general of the League of Arab States. "Russia and the Arab League have a busy agenda, but given the dramatic escalation of the Arab-Israeli conflict, this topic will be given priority attention," Zakharova said on Telegram Monday. — Holly Ellyatt

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv would support Israel as it fought an unprecedented incursion by the Hamas militant group. "It is very important that the whole world – the whole of it – does not stand aside from what has happened now and responds in the most principled way possible," Zelenskyy said in his nightly address Sunday. Zelenskyy said he spoke to his Israeli counterpart Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and extended his condolences over hundreds of casualties so far in the bloody conflict that erupted over the weekend. Two Ukrainians are known to have died in the fighting. "There is all the necessary cooperation between the Ukrainian Embassy and the Israeli police to find out the details about Ukrainians who found themselves in the areas of hostilities and shelling. Unfortunately, the deaths of two Ukrainian citizens have been confirmed," Zelenskyy said. Zelenskyy said the audacity of the attack had been shocking and said that "if terrorists can afford it, it means they are a threat not just to one country." He said Ukraine "will work together with our partners to ensure the unity of the world in the fight against terror. Various international events have already been planned. As always, the Ukrainian position will be in favor of unity and joint action." — Holly Ellyatt

Two ships left Ukraine's port of Chornomorsk carrying 115,100 metric tons of corn under the U.N.-backed Black Sea Grain Initiative, according to the organization tasked with monitoring export data. The vessels are destined for Spain. Earlier in the week, U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres called on all signatories of the deal to continue to work out concerns so that the agreement can be extended past its July 17 expiration date. The Black Sea grain deal, which created a humanitarian sea corridor for agricultural products, was brokered nearly a year ago and has been extended twice. — Amanda Macias

India's former ambassador to the United States said that it is unlikely New Delhi would relinquish its ties with Russia's defense industry as the Kremlin continues its armed conflict in Ukraine. "We have to constantly think about the art of the possible and I don't see a possibility of India cutting off its defense relationship with Russia," Nirupama Rao told CNBC. "The extent of dependence on Russia is so great, especially since we live in such a difficult neighborhood," she said. Rao said that about 80% of India's navy, 70% of the air force and approximately 60 to 65% of India's army equipment is Russian-made. "So a total of 70-75% of the equipment our defense force uses is of Russian origin. So you can't say that Russia is the past and America is the future we'd like to put it in such simple terms but it doesn't work that way," Rao said. "I think that the past, present and future are all so mixed up in this situation," she added. Rao's comments come as the Biden administration hosts India Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House for a state visit. — Amanda Macias

Andriy Yermak, the head of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's office, called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "war criminal" following a United Nations report that accused Russia of killing more than 130 children in Ukraine last year. "The UN put Russia on the list of shame for killing children in Ukraine. According to the UN, in 2022, Russia killed 136 children. Also, the Russian army and its fighters maimed 518 children and carried out 480 attacks on schools and hospitals," Yermak wrote on his official Telegram channel . "They used 91 children as human shields. I want to note that Russia kidnaps Ukrainian children and continues to kill them in 2023," he said. "Putin is a war criminal, as are all his entourage, along with terrorists, commanders, and executors of criminal orders," Yermak added. — Amanda Macias

The International Atomic Energy Agency, or IAEA, confirmed to NBC News that Director General Rafael Grossi will visit Russia tomorrow. "The location for his visit will be confirmed in due course," the IAEA wrote in the statement, adding no further details. The visit to Russia comes on the heels of Grossi's visit to Ukraine and an inspection of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Grossi said previously that Ukrainian President Volodmymr Zelenskyy requested the nuclear watchdog chief to visit the power plant after an explosion at the Kakhovka dam and subsequent flooding jeopardized water reservoir levels used by the nuclear reactors. — Amanda Macias

The Wall Street Journal called for Evan Gershkovich's immediate release following his appeal hearing in a Russian court. "Our colleague Evan Gershkovich appeared in Moscow City Court today for an appeal against his ongoing pretrial detention. Although the outcome was expected, it is no less an outrage that his detention continues to be upheld," the Wall Street Journal wrote in a statement , adding that Gershkovich has been wrongfully detained "for nothing more than doing his job as a journalist." "We continue to demand his immediate release," the statement added. Gershkovich was detained by Russian authorities 12 weeks ago on allegations of espionage. He is currently being held at the Lefortovo Prison in Moscow. The Biden administration and The Wall Street Journal have denied claims he was operating as a U.S. spy in Russia. — Amanda Macias

Ukraine is carrying out the largest campaign of repairs in modern history to its power system to prepare for another winter of possible Russian air strikes, its energy minister said on Thursday. Missile and drone attacks on energy infrastructure following Russia's full-scale invasion last year caused sweeping blackouts and water outages for millions of Ukrainians during the winter. "The most extensive repair campaign in the history of energy facilities is currently under way in Ukraine," Energy Minister German Galushchenko was quoted as saying by his ministry on the Telegram messenger. "Power generation and distribution facilities are being restored, and work is under way to strengthen the power system's resilience to military challenges." Ukraine has nearly doubled electricity tariffs for consumers since June 1 to find funds to prepare for winter, when energy consumption is typically at its highest. About 43% of Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been damaged in air strikes, state-owned power distributor Ukrenergo estimates. Some 70% of its substations have been attacked at least twice, it says. The energy ministry on Tuesday issued its latest appeal to Ukrainians to reduce use of electric appliances, especially in the evenings, saying power consumption was rising because of hot weather. — Reuters

Build military strategy 'on reality,' Putin tells security officials

We have some lines coming out of Russian President Vladimir Putin's meeting with Russia's Security Council Thursday morning: Clips of the meeting posted on the Zarubin Telegram channel show Putin commenting on personnel and equipment losses for Ukraine and destroyed Western military hardware. Putin claimed Ukraine lost as many as 13,000 troops during the counteroffensive over the last few weeks, saying that figure was "a summary from all the figures that we have received," he said in comments translated by NBC News. He did not detail how the figures were sourced. On destroyed Western weaponry and ammunition, Putin said that out of 246 tanks that Moscow claims have been destroyed since the start of the counteroffensive, which Russia says began on June 4, 13 of them were Western-made. Again, Putin did not present evidence to back his assertion. Russia has frequently framed the war in Ukraine as a proxy war in which the West is fighting Russia. Putin reiterated that sentiment Thursday, saying that "weaponry can, of course, be supplied in excess but mobilization capacities are, however, not infinite." Putin said Ukraine appears to have reserves that haven't been used. "And it appears that the Western allies of Ukraine have indeed decided to fight with Russia up until the last Ukrainian. We should also consider that the offensive [counter-offensive] potential of the enemy is not yet depleted, multiple strategic reserves have not been utilized. So I ask you to take this into account in building your [strategies] as they should be built on reality," Putin said. — Holly Ellyatt

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he's been warned by the country's intelligence services that Russia is considering carrying out a "terrorist act" on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant that it's currently occupying in southern Ukraine. Posting on Telegram, Zelenskyy said "intelligence has received information that Russia is considering the scenario of a terrorist act at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant — a terrorist act with the release of radiation. They have prepared everything for this," he said, without giving further detail on the evidence underlying the intelligence. "Unfortunately, I had to be reminded more than once that radiation knows no national borders and who it hits is determined only by the direction of the wind," he said. The Kremlin responded to the allegation Thursday by calling it "another lie," state news agency TASS reported. Russian forces have occupied the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant since March 2022, early on in the invasion, and it has frequently been at the center of hostilities, stoking fears of a possible nuclear catastrophe. The site is still occupied but also has inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency visiting it to monitor safety at the facility. Zelenskyy said all available information would be shared with its allies, saying "all countries, absolutely everyone should know this. International organizations. All of them." "There should never be any terrorist attacks on nuclear power plants, anywhere. This time it should not be like with Kakhovka" he said, referring to the Kakhovka Dam that Ukraine accused Russia of blowing up, causing widespread flooding. Russia accused Ukraine of sabotaging the dam. — Holly Ellyatt

Ukraine strikes bridge to Crimea, Russian officials say

Russian officials claimed Thursday that Ukrainian missiles had struck the Chonhar road bridge connecting Russian-occupied Crimea with the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson. Traffic using the Chongar bridge (as Russia spells it) had to be temporarily diverted, news agency RIA Novosti reported, citing Crimea's transport ministry. "Due to damage to the roadbed on the Chongar bridge, traffic flows have been temporarily redirected to the Armyansk and Perekop checkpoints. These checkpoints are operating normally," the ministry said, RIA Novosti reported. The bridge is one of several important routes into mainland Ukraine from the Crimean peninsula and is used by the Russian military to move personnel and supplies. Earlier, Sergey Aksenov, the Russian-installed head of Crimea, said earlier on Telegram that "at night, a blow was struck on the Chongar bridge. There were no casualties." "At the moment, explosive experts are conducting an examination to assess the type of ammunition," he added. Vladimir Saldo, the Russian-installed governor of Kherson, said the missile damage was "another completely senseless action carried out by the Kyiv regime on orders from London," having said in a previous post that preliminary information suggested British "Storm Shadow" missiles had been used. Saldo said the apparent attack "will not affect the course of the special operation in any way - there are other land routes to the Crimea." He added that Russia "was taking measures to eliminate damage to bridge crossings." Ukraine has not commented on the incident, and has not commented on previous incidents of apparent sabotage to routes — such as the high-profile Kerch Strait bridge — used by Russian forces to access Crimea, which it annexed in 2014, and the Russian mainland. — Holly Ellyatt

Macron would be inappropriate guest at BRICS summit, says Russia

French President Emmanuel Macron would be an inappropriate guest at the BRICS summit, the RIA news agency quoted Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov as saying on Thursday, criticising countries whose policies Russia considers hostile. The BRICS group of emerging economies, comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, is due to hold a summit in Johannesburg in August. Asked about Macron's reported desire to attend the summit, Ryabkov said: "Clearly, leaders of states that pursue such a hostile and unacceptable policy towards us, discussing with such emphasis and conviction that Russia should be isolated on the international stage, and share the common NATO line on inflicting a so-called strategic defeat on us - such a leader is an inappropriate BRICS guest. "And we are not hiding this approach of ours, we have told our colleagues from South Africa. We expect that our point of view will be fully accepted," Ryabkov was quoted as saying. South Africa is currently mulling its legal options if Russian President Vladimir Putin decides to attend the BRICS summit because the International Criminal Court (ICC) in March issued an arrest warrant for Putin over the Ukraine conflict. South Africa is an ICC member and would theoretically be required to arrest him if he attends the BRICS summit. — Reuters

Putin's latest war claim deemed preposterous by defense analysts

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that Ukraine's counteroffensive is in a "lull" as it struggles with heavy losses. Speaking to a journalist in the Kremlin Wednesday, Putin claimed that the slowdown in the counteroffensive was "due to the fact that the enemy suffers serious losses - both in personnel and in equipment." Defense analysts at the Institute for the Study of War pointed out, however, that Putin then "preposterously" claimed that Russian forces had destroyed 244 tanks and 679 armored vehicles since counteroffensive operations began in early June. The ISW noted that while Russian forces' "doctrinally sound defense in western Zaporizhia and prepared defensive positions throughout southern Ukraine are likely slowing Ukrainian advances," the pace of counteroffensive operations "is not emblematic of Ukraine's wider offensive potential and Ukrainian forces are likely successfully setting conditions for a future main effort despite initial setbacks." Ukrainian officials have long signaled that the Ukrainian counteroffensive "would be a series of gradual and sequential offensive actions," the ISW noted, and have more recently observed that "currently ongoing operations do not represent the main thrust of Ukraine's counteroffensive planning." — Holly Ellyatt

Tough fighting continuing in 'slower than desired' counteroffensive, Zelenskyy says

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said "tough fights" are ongoing as Ukraine continues its counteroffensive, having acknowledged that progress is slower than expected. In his nightly address Wednesday, Zelenskyy first focused on the war, saying there are "Tough fights. South – we destroy the enemy. Donetsk region – we are destroying the enemy. Kupiansk direction – no matter what Russian terrorists plan, we will destroy the enemy." In the counteroffensive in southern Ukraine, "there is our movement forward," he said, while in the east of the country, the defense is holding. Ukraine says it has so far reclaimed eight villages predominantly in the southern region of Zaporizhzhia over the past two weeks of counteroffensive. In an interview published by the BBC Wednesday, Zelenskyy conceded that the progress of Ukrainian counteroffensive has been "slower than desired." "Some people believe this is a Hollywood movie and expect results now. It's not," he said. "What's at stake is people's lives." "Whatever some might want, including attempts to pressure us, with all due respect, we will advance on the battlefield the way we deem best," he added. The president noted that Ukrainian advances are not easy because Russian forces have mined 200,000 square kilometers (77,220 sq miles) of front-line territory. On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that there was a "lull" in the counteroffensive. — Holly Ellyatt

President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia's new generation of Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles, which are capable of carrying 10 or more nuclear warheads, would soon be deployed for combat duty. In a speech to new graduates of military academies, Putin stressed the importance of Russia's "triad" of nuclear forces that can be launched from land, sea or air. "The most important task here is the development of the nuclear triad, which is a key guarantee of Russia's military security and global stability," he said. "Already about half of the units and formations of the Strategic Missile Forces are equipped with the latest Yars systems, and the troops are being re-equipped with modern missile systems with the Avangard hypersonic warhead." The first Sarmat launchers would be put on combat duty "in the near future", Putin said. — Reuters

Kremlin says Biden calling Xi a 'dictator' reveals foreign policy contradictions

The Kremlin said U.S. President Joe Biden calling his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping a "dictator" shortly after a high-profile meeting between U.S. and Chinese officials shows confusion in the White House's foreign policy. Biden's comment at a Tuesday fundraiser came just a day after Secretary of State Antony Blinken wrapped up his first official visit to Beijing . Referring to Biden's remark, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said "on the one hand, of course, this is a very contradictory manifestation of U.S. foreign policy, which speaks of a large element of unpredictability," he told reporters, according to a NBC translation. "And on the other hand, the continuation of such mentoring manifestations of U.S. foreign policy, which have already become unacceptable for a huge number of states and the number of these states is constantly growing," he added. "However, this is their business. We have our own bad relations with the United States of America and its very good relations with the People's Republic of China," Peskov said. Blinken's visit to Beijing on Monday took place at a time of high tension between the U.S. and China, with Beijing's close relationship with Moscow a concern for the West. Biden's "dictator" comment is bound to fray relations further and on Wednesday, China responded by saying the comment was "ridiculously absurd." — Holly Ellyatt

West pledges billions to Ukraine at rebuilding conference

Britain, the United States and the European Union pledged on Wednesday billions of dollars more help to rebuild Ukraine, with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak launching a war insurance framework to try to spur companies to invest. While welcoming the support, the answer from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was blunt - Kyiv needs concrete commitments to projects that will help Ukraine not only recover but to develop into a powerful member of the Western world. After nearly 16 months of a war that has destroyed homes, hospitals and other critical infrastructure across Ukraine, Sunak appealed to businesses and governments at a recovery conference in London to do more to help rebuild the country. Addressing the key difficulty for most companies wanting to invest in Ukraine - insurance against war damage and destruction - Sunak announced the London Conference Framework for War Risk insurance, which could pave the way for derisking investment, though he was light on details. He said the London Conference Framework was "a huge step forward towards helping insurers to underwrite investments into Ukraine, removing one of the biggest barriers and giving investors the confidence they need to act". Sunak also unveiled measures including $3 billion of additional guarantees to unlock World Bank lending that Ajay Banga, president of the World Bank Group, said would allow his group to continue to help "people rebuild their lives after devastation". European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the EU would provide Ukraine with 50 billion euros for 2024-27, while U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken offered $1.3 billion in additional aid. Ukraine is seeking up to $40 billion to fund the first part of a "Green Marshall Plan" to rebuild its economy, including developing a coal-free steel industry, a senior Ukrainian official said before the conference. The total bill will be huge, with Ukraine, the World Bank, the European Commission and the United Nations estimating in March that the cost was at $411 billion for the first year of the war. It could easily reach more than $1 trillion. — Reuters

A ceasefire in Ukraine is not enough for European officials, who want lasting peace in the region, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told CNBC. "We are very clear we do not want only a ceasefire and a frozen conflict in regions of Ukraine, because these regions will always be fragile. No investment will go there, and the conflict could [at] any time flare up again, as we have learned since 2014. So it has to be a real peace," von der Leyen said on the sidelines of the Ukraine Recovery Conference in London. Speaking to CNBC's Steve Sedgwick, von der Leyen said that China can nevertheless be a crucial player in the peace process. "China is a permanent member of the UN, and this comes with responsibility. And China has influence on Russia, so we expect China to use this influence to convince Russia to sit down at the negotiating table," she said.

It's becoming clear that Ukraine could have a long and bloody slog ahead of it when it comes to its counteroffensive aiming at recapturing Russian-occupied territory in the south and east of the country. Ukraine's counteroffensive has produced only limited gains so far, with eight settlements reclaimed in the last two weeks. Ukrainian officials are the first to admit that the country's armed forces face a "tough duel" with Russia in the weeks and months ahead. "We knew from before we started [the counteroffensive] that this wasn't going to be a walk in the park," Yuriy Sak, a senior advisor in Ukraine's defense ministry, told CNBC Tuesday. "We knew that Russians had months to prepare for it, we knew that they have built very, very strongly-fortified defense lines, that they have laid millions of mines along the front line. They're dug in so deep, that we already had a very good idea that this will be not an easy task," he added.

The Russian mercenary Wagner Group is not recruiting fighters right now, according to a voice note assumed to be by its leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, published on the Grey Zone Telegram channel. "As long as we do not experience a shortage in personnel, we do not plan to carry out a new recruitment," Prigozhin reportedly said, according to a Google translation of the voice note's transcript. The message did however suggest that those wanting to sign up should keep in touch with the group, saying that "as soon as the Motherland needs to create a new (additional) "group" that will be able to protect the interests of our country, we will certainly start recruiting." Prigozhin also thanked those who have contributed to the Wagner Group's work, including its invasion and capture of Bakhmut. The voice note comes after the Wagner Group leader was allegedly exiled to Belarus for leading his private mercenary group in an armed rebellion against the Russian military . Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko then allegedly told reporters Prigozhin had returned to St. Petersburg on June 27. The message was reportedly recorded on July 30. — Hannah Ward-Glenton

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the war gradually "is returning to Russia's territory," in his nightly address Sunday . He said it's an "inevitable natural and fair process" that the conflict should return to Russia's symbolic centers and military bases. Ukrainian drones attacked buildings in Moscow late Sunday, according to the city's Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. He said there were no injuries and only minor damage to infrastructure. The rhetoric comes as Ukraine continues its long-awaited counteroffensive, which has unfolded more slowly than many expected . — Hannah Ward-Glenton

In his nightly address Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he expects Russia to attack the country's energy sector and critical facilities this winter. Officials discussed preparations for "all possible scenarios" with regional authorities over the weekend. Zelenskyy said it's important to rebuild infrastructure ahead of the winter months, but highlighted that the "number one priority is defense, protection of the state and people." The United Nations reported in December that Russian forces had destroyed half of Ukraine's energy infrastructure, leaving millions of people at risk of sickness and death as temperatures drop. — Hannah Ward-Glenton

The U.S. and Ukraine will start negotiations on a bilateral agreement on security guarantees as early as next week, according to President Zelenskyy's Chief of Staff, Andriy Yermak. The guarantees would be in place until Ukraine becomes a member of NATO, Yermak wrote in a post on Telegram , according to a Google translation. Ukraine "must secure reliable guarantees for the transition period" before it joins the alliance of countries from Europe and North America, Yermak wrote. The guarantees would cover defense and financial support, as well as sanctions on Russia. Ukraine applied for fast-track NATO membership in September 2022 after Moscow said it had annexed four regions of the country. — Hannah Ward-Glenton

For months, Wagner has been locked in a bloody battle of attrition to take the towns of Bakhmut and Soledar in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region. Western and Ukrainian officials have said it is using convicts as cannon fodder to overwhelm Ukraine's defenses. Videos and photographs of the graves first appeared on social media channels in the Krasnodar region in December. Reuters geolocated these images to the Bakinskaya cemetery and reviewed satellite imagery of the site from Maxar Technologies and Capella Space. Satellite pictures show that the Wagner plot was empty in the summer, had three rows of graves by the end of November and was three-quarters full by early January. Virtually the entire plot was used by Jan. 24. Read the full story from Reuters here . — Reuters

The Pentagon said that Russia's use of the paramilitary Wagner Group and the transfer of weapons from North Korea and Iran shows that Western sanctions are working. "We've seen the Wagner Group try and procure and be successful in procuring weapons from North Korea," deputy Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said when asked about t he Biden administration's latest sanctions on the private military firm . "This shows Russia is depleting its stocks pretty quickly," Singh said. In announcing the sanctions earlier, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the measures will "further impede Putin's ability to arm and equip his war machine." — Amanda Macias

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took a defiant tone after Moscow unleashed fresh missile strikes on his country, insisting Kyiv will defeat a Russian invasion nearing its one-year mark. "Another attempt by a terrorist state to intimidate us with a massive missile strike has recently been defeated, just as the whole of Russia will soon be defeated," he said in a post on his Telegram account, according to an NBC News translation. Russia launched missiles at various targets in Ukraine in a strike the head of Ukraine's armed forces called "massive." — Jacob Pramuk

A U.S. official warned that Russia is slowing down urgent food supplies from Ukraine through a brokered humanitarian sea corridor. There are 121 ships loaded with agricultural products waiting to leave Ukrainian ports through a U.N.-backed deal to ease Russia's naval blockade, Erin McKee, the assistant administrator for Europe and Eurasia at the U.S. Agency for International Development, told the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee. McKee added that Russia's war in Ukraine and its slowdown of food supply ships has exacerbated global food insecurity. "In 2022, over 205 million people were in urgent need of humanitarian food assistance which was an 8% increase over 2021," McKee said. Before the war, Ukraine and Russia accounted for almost a quarter of global grain exports. Those shipments came to a severe halt for nearly six months until the U.N.'s Black Sea Grain Initiative was signed. — Amanda Macias

Three vessels carrying 49,100 metric tons of grain and other food products have left Ukrainian ports, the organization overseeing the export of agricultural products from the country said. The ships are destined for Italy, Turkey and Libya and are carrying wheat and barley. The Black Sea Grain Initiative , a deal brokered in July among Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the United Nations, eased Russia's naval blockade and saw three key Ukrainian ports reopen. So far, more than 675 ships have sailed from Ukrainian ports. — Amanda Macias

The U.S. Agency for International Development and its partners have documented over 20,000 incidences of alleged war crimes and human rights abuses in Ukraine in the last year, said Erin McKee, the USAID assistant administrator for Europe and Eurasia. She presented the figure in an opening statement before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee's hearing on "Countering Russian Aggression: Ukraine and Beyond." USAID began investigating war crimes in 2014 after Russian forces illegally overtook Crimea and large parts of the Donbas. The Kremlin has denied that its forces target civilians or have committed war crimes in Ukraine. — Amanda Macias

U.S. President Joe Biden is considering a trip to Europe near the one-year anniversary of Russia's war in Ukraine, NBC News reported . Biden may travel to Poland — which borders Ukraine to the west — among other locations under consideration, three administration officials and a person familiar with the discussions told NBC. The plans are not finalized. The one-year mark of Russia's invasion will come on Feb. 24. Through the trip, Biden aims to show support for Ukraine, according to NBC. He took a significant step in ramping up support for Ukraine's military on Wednesday, when he announced the U.S. would send M1A1 Abrams tanks to the country. Read the NBC story here. — Jacob Pramuk

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said it was "meaningless" to hold a trilateral meeting with Sweden and Finland to discuss their NATO bids after protests this month in Stockholm. Speaking at a news conference, Cavusoglu also said there is no offer to evaluate Sweden's and Finland's NATO membership separately. Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has said his country wanted to restore NATO dialogue with Turkey after Ankara indefinitely postponed trilateral talks with Sweden and Finland over their membership. — Reuters

The Biden administration announced a slew of fresh sanctions and additional measures targeting Russia's private military firm, the Wagner Group, saying it's engaged in an "ongoing pattern of serious criminal activity" in Ukraine, the Central African Republic and Mali. The Treasury Department identified the Wagner Group, led by Putin crony Yevgeny Prigozhin, as a "significant transnational criminal organization." Last week, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters at the White House that U.S. intelligence estimates indicate the Wagner Group has at least 50,000 personnel in Ukraine, most of them recruited for the fight from Russian prisons.

[The hearing and stream have ended.] The U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a hearing on what it called "countering Russian aggression," both in Ukraine and elsewhere. Key officials at the State Department, Pentagon and U.S. Agency for International Development testified. U.S. senators have largely backed the Biden administration as it has sent weapons and humanitarian aid to Ukraine during the 11 months of the Russian invasion. The effort intensified Wednesday as the U.S. announced it would send M1A1 Abrams tanks to bolster Ukraine's defense. — Jacob Pramuk

Four people were kicked out of the Australian Open after displaying Russian flags — which have been banned from Melbourne Park — and threatening security guards, police and Tennis Australia said Thursday. A Victoria Police spokeswoman said the four have not been charged but were evicted from the site. The flags, at least one of which included an image of Vladimir Putin, were being waved during a gathering outside of Rod Laver Arena after Novak Djokovic beat Russian player Andrey Rublev in straight sets in the quarterfinals of the year's first Grand Slam tennis tournament Wednesday night. "A small group of people displayed inappropriate flags and symbols and threatened security guards following a match on Wednesday night and were evicted. ... Players and their teams have been briefed and reminded of the event policy regarding flags and symbols and to avoid any situation that has the potential to disrupt," Tennis Australian said in a statement. "We continue to work closely with event security and law enforcement agencies." — Associated Press

The dust has barely settled since the decision by the U.S. and Germany to supply battle tanks to Ukraine, but talk has already turned to the possible use of other firepower, namely, fighter jets. Ukraine has made no secret of the fact that it would like to receive fighter jets — such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon, a multirole fighter aircraft developed for the U.S. Air Force — from its allies to help it fight Russia. Kyiv appears confident that, as with Western tanks, it will eventually be given F-16s too. "We will get F-16s," Yuriy Sak, an advisor to Ukraine's Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov, told CNBC Thursday. Sak said Kyiv expected there to be a similar approach to the tanks issue — essentially allies reluctant to give Ukraine fighter jets before an eventual agreement to do so, but said there was a hope that, in this case, the decision will be faster. "We hope that there will be no same mistakes, because we will get the F-16s," he said. Read the whole story here — Holly Ellyatt

Britain hopes the Challenger 2 tanks it is supplying to Ukraine will arrive in the country at the end of March, defence department minister Alex Chalk said on Thursday. Earlier this month, Britain said it would send 14 of its main battle tanks along with additional artillery support to Ukraine. "The intention is that it will be at the end of March," he told parliament in response to a question asking when the tanks would arrive in Ukraine. He said between now and then, Ukrainian forces would be trained intensively on how to operate and maintain the vehicles. Other nations including the United States and Germany have also subsequently committed to supply tanks in moves hailed by Kyiv as a potential turning point in its battle to repel Russia's invasion. — Reuters
