Hungary's Orbán vows to ignore war crimes arrest warrant for Netanyahu
BUDAPEST — Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Friday that he would ignore an arrest warrant issued by the Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC) for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.The Hungarian leader added that not only would he defy the court, of which Hungary is a member, but that he would extend an invitation to Netanyahu to travel to Budapest.The world's top war crimes court issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant, alongside Hamas commander Mohammed Deif on Thursday.The ICC said there were "reasonable grounds" to believe that Netanyahu and Gallant had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity by restricting humanitarian aid and targeting civilians during Israel's military campaign in...

Russia gives North Korea million barrels of oil, breaking sanctions: report
LONDON — Russia is estimated to have supplied North Korea with more than a million barrels of oil since March this year, according to satellite imagery analysis from the Open Source Center, a non-profit research group based in the UK.The oil is payment for the weapons and troops Pyongyang has sent Moscow to fuel its war in Ukraine, leading experts and UK Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, have told the BBC.These transfers violate UN sanctions, which ban countries from selling oil to North Korea, except in small quantities, in an attempt to stifle its economy to prevent it from further developing nuclear weapons.The satellite images, shared exclusively with the BBC, show more than a dozen different North Korean oil tankers arriving at an oil terminal in Russia’s Far East a total of 43...

Russia has resumed large-scale missile strikes on Ukraine as it seeks to maximise its military advantage
Russia and US battle for advantage in Ukraine war ahead of Trump's return
KYIV — In a matter of days US President Joe Biden's administration and Russia have made separate – but significant – moves aimed at influencing the outcome of the war in Ukraine, two months ahead of Donald Trump’s return to the White House.There is a sense of Moscow maximizing its gains and of Biden abandoning long-held red lines before Trump seeks to deliver on his claim to end the war in 24 hours.Ukraine has already acted on Biden’s decision to let Kyiv fire first long-range ATACMS missiles deep into Russian territory. As Kyiv struggles to hold on to its territory in the east, Biden has promised to send anti-personnel landmines, too.What prompted Biden’s change of heart appears to have been the arrival of thousands of North Koreans deployed to the front line, which the US...

Ukraine fires UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles at Russia for first time
LONDON — Ukraine has fired UK-supplied Storm Shadow missiles at targets inside Russia for the first time, the BBC understands.The war-torn country was previously restricted to using long-range missiles within its own borders.Reports of the strikes come after Ukraine was given permission from Washington to fire US-supplied missiles at Russian territory.The government has refused to comment on the reports for operational reasons, but officials confirmed Defence Secretary John Healey spoke to his Ukrainian counterpart on Tuesday night.Ministers are likely to exercise caution in their response to the reports due to concerns over Russia's reaction, as well as to ensure the move is not seen as being led by the UK.In the Commons earlier, Healey said: “Ukraine’s action on the battlefield...

US embassy in Kyiv shutters after 'significant' air attack threat
KYIV — The US embassy in Kyiv has shuttered fearing an imminent "significant air attack" in Kyiv, according to a statement published on its website."Out of an abundance of caution, the embassy will be closed, and embassy employees are being instructed to shelter in place," the statement said, adding that US citizens in Kyiv should also be prepared to shelter.The warning comes a day after Ukraine reportedly used US-supplied Army Tactical Missile Systems, known as ATACM missiles, to strike Russian territory for the first time after US President Joe Biden reportedly green-lighted the weapons following months of hesitation.In response, Russia lowered its threshold for a nuclear strike in response to a broader range of conventional attacks on Tuesday.The Kremlin has long...

Russian gains accelerate as Ukraine's Kursk gamble falters
LONDON — The Russian military is accelerating its gains along the front line in Ukraine at a crucial time for the conflict.Data from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) shows that Russia has gained almost six times as much territory in 2024 as it did in 2023, and is advancing towards key Ukrainian logistical hubs in the eastern Donbas region.Meanwhile, Ukraine's surprise incursion into Russia's Kursk region is faltering. Russian troops have pushed Kyiv's offensive backward. Experts have questioned the success of the offensive, with one calling it a "strategic catastrophe" given manpower shortages faced by Ukraine.These developments come at a time of heightened uncertainty with a second Donald Trump administration looming. The US president-elect has vowed to...
