The EU and the UK have approved a blistering new round of sanctions against Russia. The coordinated attack, targeting Moscow’s shadow fleet and military sectors, aims to put pressure on President Vladimir Putin to agree to a 30-day unconditional ceasefire with Ukraine.

Donald Trump’s two-hour phone call with Vladimir Putin marked yet another pivot in the Ukrainian peace process. As the US president seems to be distancing himself from the issue, Pope Leo XIV, who already took his stance on the war in Ukraine, may play a part in the Vatican becoming a location for future negotiations.

Ukraine looks to sue North Korea via the International Criminal Court over its involvement in Russia’s war of aggression. Meanwhile, the Hungarian parliament passed a bill to withdraw from the international tribunal.
