Montenegro's pro-EU party wins snap election — vote monitors
PODGORICA, Montenegro — Montenegro’s Europe Now Movement (PES) has won a snap election, according to preliminary results. But the recently formed pro-EU, centrist party doesn’t have enough support to form a government on its own.Elections in Montenegro are the first in more than 30 years that do not feature Milo Djukanovic, Europe’s longest-ruling contemporary politician.“Tomorrow is a new day,” said PES leader Milojko Spajic. “We are not going to be arrogant, and we will sit down with anyone who shares our values. We will obviously form a new pro-European government.”A recently formed centrist group that advocates Montenegro joining the European Union was projected to win the small Balkan country’s early parliamentary election held Sunday, according to independent vote...

MILAN — Silvio Berlusconi died on Monday at the San Raffaele hospital in Milan, his doctors said in a statement.The former Italian Prime Minister was readmitted last Friday for planned medical checks related to his chronic leukemia.The 86-year-old had recently spent 45 days in the same hospital being treated for a lung infection and chronic leukaemia, before being discharged exactly three weeks ago.The three-time premier was one of Italy's most successful businessmen and an influential, yet controversial and divisive, politician.He was a dominant force in Italian politics for the last 30 years and still headed his center-right party, Forza Italia, despite suffering several health issues since 2016.Last year, his party entered the right-wing coalition currently in government, with...

Russia moves to take direct control of Wagner Group
MOSCOW — Russia appears to have moved to take direct control of Wagner, after months of infighting between defense officials and the private military group.Deputy Defense Minister Nikolai Pankov said on Saturday “volunteer formations” will be asked to sign contracts directly with the Ministry of Defense.The vaguely worded statement is widely believed to target the group.

KYIV — The size of the flooded area in the Kherson region as a result of the Kakhovka dam breach has almost halved, Ukraine says — but experts and officials fear infectious diseases may spread in polluted waters.Water levels have dropped by 27cm (10in), the regional administration’s head, Alexander Prokudin, said.But thousands of Ukrainian homes remain flooded, the interior ministry said. Tens of thousands of people have lost access to drinking water.The major dam burst on Tuesday, releasing a huge torrent of water which quickly flooded vast areas of land on both sides of the Dnipro River.Ukraine has blamed Russia for “blowing up” the dam, located in a Russian-controlled area of Ukraine. Russia has denied this, and has accused Ukraine of being responsible for its destruction.The...
