 British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak promises 125 anti-aircraft guns and other air-defense technology as he makes an unannounced visit – his first – to the Ukrainian capital for talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The unbridled joy and relief at the city's liberation quickly turns to horror as residents describe the torture and death they experienced under the Russian occupation.

The US president convenes an "emergency meeting" of the G-7 and NATO leaders in Indonesia after an attack that killed two people in the eastern part of Poland near the Ukraine border.

The suit, filed by lawyers Uri Keidar and Avi Blum and supported by American attorney Nat Lewin, seeks to enforce a 2010 ruling issued in the United States to seize Russian assets in Israel worth tens of millions of dollars.

The munitions were meant for the Ukrainian military but "fell into Russian hands," one source says, warning that Iran's Revolutionary Guards can now study Western technology and reverse-engineer it. 

Iran's foreign minister insists the transfer came before Russia's war on Ukraine.

The nuclear fears trigger painful memories from those who lived through the Chernobyl disaster, when Soviet authorities initially kept the accident secret.

Kyiv's support for the United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for a nuclear-free Middle East led to an angry response from Israelis online. "We always vote the same way because our position is consistently against nuclear weapons in the world," Ukrainian envoy says.

Loud explosions heard across the Ukrainian capital in the early morning as residents prepared to go to work. Some of them receive text messages from the emergency services about the threat of a missile attack.
