  • The EU on Monday called in Moscow’s top diplomat to Brussels to underline the bloc’s condemnation of President Vladimir Putin’s illegal annexation of more Ukrainian territory.
  • The breakthrough comes after Ukrainian forces took the key logistics hub of Lyman — Kyiv’s most significant battlefield gain in weeks.
  • Kadyrov, the leader of Russia’s southern Chechnya region whose troops are fighting for Moscow, on Saturday called for a change of strategy “right up to the declaration of martial law in the border areas and the use of low-yield nuclear weapons.”
