Ukraine's military says it used US glide bombs for strikes in Russia's Kursk region
Many of Ukraine's international allies oppose the country using donated weapons for anything but defensive purposes.
However, Ukraine has argued that its Kursk incursion is essentially defensive and aimed at creating a buffer zone to minimise attacks on Ukrainian soil.
In a striking moment of global symbolism, former U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania arrived at St. Peterās Square just after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as thousands gathered to honor the life and legacy of Pope Francis. The funeral, set in the heart of Vatican City, marks a historic and emotional farewell to the first Latin American pope ā a leader known for humility, reform, and compassion for the poor. As dignitaries and faithful fill St. Peterās Square, the solemn atmosphere is punctuated by key political presences and poignant public reactions. Follow our full coverage as world figures continue to arrive, tributes pour in, and the final journey of Pope Francis unfolds before the eyes of millions.

A confidential U.S. peace proposal to end the Ukraine war was secretly presented by envoy Steve Witkoff to European officials in Paris on April 17, 2025. The leaked plan includes a permanent ceasefire, Ukraineās NATO exit, U.S. recognition of Crimea as Russian territory, and economic benefits for both Kyiv and Moscow. Ukraine would regain limited territory and receive financial aid, while Russia would benefit from lifted sanctions. The plan, labeled Washingtonās āfinal offer,ā signals a dramatic shift in U.S. diplomacy. Both Russia and Ukraine have yet to issue formal responses.
