NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told CNBC Monday that the West had tried to build bridges with Russia since the end of the Cold War but any trust that was established in recent years has been destroyed by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.25 Min AgoThe European Commission has repeatedly condemned Russia's war in Ukraine, accusing President Vladimir Putin of using energy as a weapon to drive up commodity prices and sow uncertainty across the 27-nation bloc.
"There can be no impunity for war crimes and other atrocities," the statement read. "We will hold President Putin and those responsible to account in accordance with international law. We reiterate that Russia's irresponsible nuclear rhetoric is unacceptable and that any use of chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons would be met with severe consequences."
"The First Lady of France, Brigitte Macron, is one of those whom I have the honor to call a colleague and friend. And, of course, a great friend of Ukraine," Zelenska said on her Telegram channel. The ships are carrying corn, wheat, vegetable oil and rapeseed and are destined for Spain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Netherlands.
"The escalation of conflict in Ukraine has caused civilian casualties and destruction of civilian infrastructure, forcing people to flee their homes seeking safety, protection and assistance," the U.N. Refugee Agency wrote.Ships, including those carrying grain from Ukraine and awaiting inspections, are seen anchored off the Istanbul coastline on November 02, 2022 in Istanbul, Turkey.
Most of the civilian casualties recorded were caused by the use of explosive weapons with a wide impact area, including shelling from heavy artillery and multiple launch rocket systems, as well as missiles and airstrikes, according to the organization.Russian President Vladimir Putin seen during bilateral talks at the Eurasian Economic Summit. Leaders of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia gathered in the Kyrgyz capital for the Eurasian Economic Union Summit.
"Even if the fighting ends, we will not return to some kind of normal, friendly, relationship with Russia. Trust has been destroyed," he said. "I think the war has had long-lasting consequences for the relationship with Russia."Kherson 'under massive fire' from Russian forces, official says Yanushevych called on civilians to stay within sheltered areas if they hear the sounds of explosions.Anadolu Agency | Anadolu Agency | Getty Images
"It's inconceivable that if Finland and Sweden were attacked or came under some kind of pressure from Russia, that NATO would not react. So I'm not saying that it doesn't matter, the last two ratifications, but we are in a totally different place," Stoltenberg said. He said NATO had already provided Ukraine with weapon systems such as artillery, battle tanks and armed vehicles and needed to maintain the supply of equipment to Kyiv.
"There is still a threat of missile and UAV strikes on the energy system and critical infrastructure objects throughout the territory of Ukraine," the General Staff warned.
