Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for Moscow to be punished after visiting a destroyed Kyiv residential building where a Russian missile strike killed 24 people, including three children.
Russia‘s prison chief reported a significant drop in the country’s prison population, partly attributed to the army’s recruitment drive, which has seen prisoners sent to the Ukraine frontline.
The Pentagon cancelled plans to temporarily deploy 4,000 US-based troops to Poland, a decision that renews questions about troop cuts in Europe.
