The Russian president believed installing a pro-Moscow government in Kyiv"would be safe and easy" before the invasion, according to the Institute for the Study of War. And Tokyo has condemned a visit to Russia by a Japanese politician who gave no warning he was going.Notwithstanding the widespread political support for Ukraine in resisting Russia's illegal invasion, it is the practical military and financial aid that has enabled Ukraine to get onto the offensive.
Of course, some of these statements are politically motivated - this week the Pentagon warned Congress that it is running low on money to replace weapons the US has sent to Ukraine and has already been forced to slow down resupplying some troops. Ukraine cannot afford to be drawn into such tactics, as a grinding war of attrition will favour Russia.
National stockpiles can be reduced, but only by taking increasing national security risks, and that is not something that can be continued ad infinitum. The risk is that the supply of Western high-tech weapons abates, forcing Ukraine to be drawn into Russia's 20th century attritional war, with mounting casualties and a static frontline, reminiscent of the Second World War.
The US and EU have expressed"deep concerns" for the Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, which is recognised internationally as part of Azerbaijan but had been under Armenian control.We've been putting your questions to our experts and senior correspondents. The Crimean port of Sevastopol is Russia's only"warm water" port and thus a vital link to global trade routes.
So, most military analysts believe that it would be extremely difficult for Ukraine to liberate Crimea, and any military assault would result in huge casualties for Ukraine.Given sufficient weapons and military capability, plus a range of deception activities to focus Russian military efforts elsewhere, it is possible that Ukraine could challenge Russia's occupation of Crimea.
"I say this to our allies, if we give President Zelenskyy the tools, the Ukrainians will finish the job." A week after Ukrainian tank crews in the eastern front saw the first delivery of US Abrams tanks, the question remains as to what sort of boost they will offer. Ms Yanchik goes on to say that while the tanks will not transform the course of the war, if used alongside other recently delivered tanks and in conjunction with infantry, artillery, drones, and air cover, they"could help Ukraine achieve its current goal of striking south".Finland is looking at ways to take control of Helsinki's biggest sports and events arena, which has been shut since last year because of sanctions against its billionaire Russian owners.
The ban has been in place since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine was launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin in February 2022 in a move FIFA said was in"full solidarity with all the people affected in Ukraine". So FIFA is viewing the U17s European Championships as de facto qualifiers for the global level which provides a logic for them to readmit Russia.
Ukraine applied for membership in the bloc less than a week after Russia invaded Ukraine and EU leaders accepted Ukraine as a candidate to join.
