Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has sharply criticised Western countries for imposing restrictions on the use of donated arms, accusing them of being "afraid" of both a Russian and Ukrainian defeat. In a candid interview with AFP on Friday, Zelensky expressed his frustration over the conditions placed on the use of long-range weapons supplied to Kiev. “They can fire any weapons from their territory at ours. This is the biggest advantage that Russia has. We can’t do anything to their systems, which are located on the territory of Russia, with Western weapons,” Zelensky stated in the interview aired on Saturday. This restriction significantly hampers Ukraine's ability to retaliate against Russian forces effectively.

In a critical escalation on Ukraine's northeastern front, Russian troops have made significant advances in the Kharkiv region, expanding the combat zone by approximately 70 kilometers. Ukrainian Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi warned of imminent "heavy battles" as Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the establishment of a "buffer zone" to protect Russia's border regions. The offensive, which began last Friday, has strained Ukrainian defences, already stretched thin over a sprawling front. During a visit to China, Putin linked the offensive to ongoing Ukrainian shelling of Russian border areas, justifying the creation of the buffer zone. A recent Russian missile strike in Kharkiv killed two and injured 25, highlighting the conflict's toll. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy stated that Ukrainian forces have stabilized the front despite losing control of 12 villages.

Ukrainian President Zelensky's decision to postpone his foreign visits amidst escalating tensions with Russia reflects the severity of the situation, coinciding with troubling reports of Russian forces capturing key villages near the border. Ukrainian Defense Minister Umerov's acknowledgment of the challenging circumstances highlights the urgent need for increased ammunition deliveries. Concerns persist over Ukraine's readiness to defend against a major Russian attack, compounded by ongoing drone strikes targeting critical military assets like the advanced Bogdana Self-Propelled Guns. The conflict in the Kharkiv Region intensifies as Russian forces make territorial gains, prompting global scrutiny and raising fears of further destabilisation in the region.

Escalating tensions between Ukraine and Russia intensify the demand for air defense systems. Kyiv seeks US Patriot systems, but Washington's support falls short. Poland's President confirms inability to provide Patriots due to incomplete defense infrastructure. Despite Ukraine's urgent pleas, Poland, along with Greece and Romania, cannot offer Patriots. Germany and Spain offer support, but the scarcity of these systems remains a concern.

A Moroccan asylum seeker has been sentenced to life in jail for murder, with a minimum term of 45 years, at Teesside Crown Court. In October last year, 45-year-old Ahmed Alid stabbed Iranian Christian convert Javed Nouri at the house he was sharing with other asylum seekers before looking for more victims in Hartlepool town centre. He then stabbed and killed 70-year-old Terence Carney who was out for his regular early morning walk.
