Zelensky ready for 'honest work' with US to end Ukraine war
KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he is ready for "honest work" with the US after receiving a draft peace plan to end the war with Russia.Several US media outlets report that under the plan, Kyiv would give up areas of the Donbas in eastern Ukraine that it still controls, cut the size of its army, and pledge never to join Nato.It was unclear how involved Ukraine has been in drafting the plan, but White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the US had engaged "equally with both sides".In a separate statement, Zelensky's office said that Ukraine had "agreed to work on the plan's provisions in a way that would bring about a just end to the war".If confirmed, the demands in the plan would appear to favour Moscow's interests.Zelensky said he expected to...

UK did 'too little, too late', leading to thousands more Covid deaths, says inquiry
LONDON — The UK response to Covid was "too little, too late" and led to thousands more deaths in the first wave, an inquiry into government decision-making says.The report also said lockdown may have been avoided if voluntary steps such as social distancing and isolating those with symptoms along with household members had been brought in earlier than 16 March 2020.By the time ministers acted it was too late and lockdown was inevitable, the report said, then a week-long delay introducing it led to 23,000 more deaths in England in the first wave than would have been seen otherwise.The report criticised the governments of all four nations and described a "chaotic culture" in Downing Street.Inquiry chair Baroness Hallett said that while government was presented with unenviable choices under...

Italy to extradite Nord Stream blast suspect to Germany
ROME — Italy's top appeals court has ruled that a Ukrainian man suspected of involvement in blowing up the Nord Stream gas pipelines between Russia and Germany should be extradited to Berlin.There, former Ukrainian military officer Serhiy Kuznetsov will face a charge of anti-constitutional sabotage. He is due to be removed from Italy under German police escort in the next few days.Prosecutors believe Kuznetsov coordinated and led a group that planted explosives on the pipes deep beneath the Baltic Sea in 2022, though they have not disclosed any evidence.The case has serious implications for relations between Ukraine and Germany, which is the biggest source of military aid for Kyiv in Europe.Kuznetsov's lawyer said his client "feels like a scapegoat" and is "very sad" that his...
