RUSSIAN PERSPECTIVE US support for Ukraine is 'nearing inevitable end,' Medvedev says Washington will soon stop providing support to Kiev, as it spends too much on it to little or no avail on the battlefield, the Russian Security Council’s Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has said. "US lawmakers are derailing the funding of Israeli and Ukrainian military spending for this year. The reasons are technical and… not quite technical," he wrote in his Telegram channel. "While in Israel’s case the reason is obviously technical, for that country is more important to the US Congress than its own, everything is more complicated…
Israel searches for traces of Hamas in raid of key Gaza hospital packed with patients Israeli troops on Wednesday stormed into Gaza’s largest hospital, searching for traces of Hamas inside and beneath the facility, where newborns and hundreds of other patients have suffered for days without electricity and other basic necessities.

Writing in the Ukrainian journal Tyzhden, historian Yaroslav Tynchenko and volunteer Herman…
Israeli military forces raid Gaza's largest hospital in operation against Hamas The Israeli military raided Gaza’s largest hospital early Wednesday, conducting what it called a “precise and targeted” operation against Hamas as Israel seized broader control of northern Gaza, including capturing the territory’s legislature building and its police headquarters. The gains carried high symbolic value in the country’s quest to crush the militant group that rules Gaza. The raid unfolded “in a specified area” of the Shifa Hospital, which has been the site of a standoff with Hamas. Israeli authorities claim the militants conceal military operations in the facility.

What to know after Day 629 of Russia-Ukraine war

RUSSIAN PERSPECTIVE Russia and Ukraine may never sign peace treaty – Kiev Russia and Ukraine may never sign a formal peace treaty ending the current conflict, Kirill Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, wrote in an op-ed, excerpts from which were published on Monday. He pointed to Russia and Japan, which never signed a comprehensive peace treaty after World War II due to Tokyo’s claims on several of Russia’s Kuril Islands. “There are cases in history when old wars between the states have not been legally concluded. An obvious example is Russia and Japan. They did not sign a…
Israel says Hamas is using Gaza's biggest hospital for cover. Hundreds of people are trapped inside Gaza’s Shifa Hospital has become the focus of a dayslong stalemate in Israel’s war against the Hamas militant group. Shifa is Gaza’s largest and best-equipped hospital. But Israel claims the facility also is used by Hamas for military purposes.

Officials said Russian forces had suffered heavy losses around the city. They also said Ukrainian forces had repelled Russian attacks in other areas of the 1,000-km (600-mile) front line. And with Ukraine engaged in a counteroffensive making only incremental gains in the east and south, its commander in chief spoke to the new U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of…
Heavy fighting rages near main Gaza hospital and people trapped inside say they cannot flee Health officials and people trapped inside Gaza’s largest hospital rejected Israel’s claims that it was helping babies and others evacuate Sunday, saying fighting continued just outside the facility where incubators lay idle with no electricity and critical supplies were running out. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dismissed urgent calls for a cease-fire unless it includes the release of all the nearly 240 hostages captured by Hamas in the Oct. 7 rampage that triggered the war. A day after Netanyahu said Israel was bringing its “full…
