The latest news on Russia and Ukraine. On Tuesday, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has voiced frustration over Russia's stance in the Ukraine conflict, suggesting Moscow is using peace talks merely to buy time.

European officials echoed concerns about Russia's continued military aggression, calling for tighter sanctions on its energy exports. The EU urged the US to intensify coordinated pressure, warning that Russia's actions undermine any serious peace efforts.
