Exclusive: Vitaliy Kim, who was handpicked by Zelensky to be governor of the Mykolaiv Oblast region in Ukraine, has signalled a shift towards compromise in an interview with The Independent

As losses mount, the pace of Russia's advance has at times been slower than the Battle of the Somme during World War I, a report says.

Russia continuously upgrades its Geran (Shahed) drones to beat Ukrainian defenses, but rising costs now exceed cheap interceptor drones, flipping the cost balance.

Zelenskyy says Ukraine will "take corresponding steps" as Trump says Putin agreed to stop bombing Ukrainian cities for a week.

KYIV, Feb 1 (Reuters) - At least 12 people were killed and seven wounded after a Russian drone struck a bus carrying miners in Ukraine's southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, energy firm DTEK and government officials said on Sunday.

The civilian death toll has been edging upward as the war grinds on. The United Nations' Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine said in January that 2025 was the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since 2022. "A massive increase in the use of long-range weapons by the Russian armed forces" helped drive the trend, the mission said.
