Ukrainians residing in the east should evacuate while they still have the chance, according to the nation’s deputy prime minister. Ukraine won’t be able to “assist” if they don’t, according to Iryna Vereshchuk, as Russia’s military soldiers advance in. Her announcement comes as an image emerges of crimes committed in Ukrainian communities under Moscow’s influence, including reports of rape, abuse, and killings.

Putin claimed the purported crimes observed in Bucha – the village where remains of people were dumped out on the sidewalks and burial graves were uncovered at the church, was a “crude and cynical provocation” perpetrated by the Ukrainian administration in a conversation with Hungary’s re-elected prime minister – and Moscow ally – Viktor Orban on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke to the United Nations Security Council, stating that newly discovered massacres after the departure of Russian soldiers near Kyiv might be worse than those in Bucha, where even more than 300 civilians were tortured to death, according to him. As worldwide indignation grew over the fatalities, Western officials promised a broad probe into potential war offenses and increased consequences against Moscow.

President Biden urged for a war crimes prosecution on Monday in response to reports of rape and the slaughter of people in Bucha and other Russian-occupied towns, adding that Russian President Vladimir Putin should be held responsible.

India’s reaction to Russia’s attack on Ukraine has indeed been “shaky,” according to US President Joe Biden, as one of Europe’s bloodiest wars since World War II approaches its one-month mark, with key cities in the nation fighting for survival. “With the potential exception of India, which is a little weak on some of this,” Biden added, “the Quad has been extraordinarily strong — as has Australia — in addition to dealing with Putin’s aggressiveness.” India, Japan, the United States, and Australia form the Quad, a four-nation alliance.

The US also asked India to consider oil supplies from Moscow after Washington took a major measure prohibiting crude oil shipments from the Kremlin.

On Wednesday, US President Joe Biden stated that his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin will never win the conflict in Ukraine. Putin may well be able to conquer a city, but he would never be capable of holding a country, according to him.

“This much is obviously clear: Ukraine will never be a win for Putin,” Biden stated in a tweet. Putin might be able to conquer a city, but he’ll never be able to maintain control of the country.”

In reaction to Moscow’s attack on Ukraine, he placed an embargo on US imports of Russian oil, gas, and electricity just hours ago. “Russian oil will no longer be taken at US ports,” he said, “and the American people will strike back hard against Putin’s military machine.”

As the devastation from Moscow’s assault grew, Ukraine and Russia made minimal headway in negotiations Monday but failed to achieve an agreement on building “humanitarian corridors” from ravaged cities. The third round of discussions, which aimed at providing people with escape routes from encircled towns, yielded “good outcomes,” according to Kyiv, while Russia started its objectives from the negotiations were “not met.”

Today, Ukraine agreed to Russia’s request to establish humanitarian corridors.

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that he is not dispatching conscripts or reservists to participate, and that the conflict in Ukraine is being led by “professional” forces with “defined aims.”

According to the United Nations, the count of migrants streaming over Ukraine’s borders has reached an important nadir. Russia’s blockade of major cities throughout Ukraine continued on Thursday, with Moscow claiming command of a city in southern Ukraine. Since Russian soldiers entered Ukraine a week ago, 1 million people have left over the country’s borders, according to the United Nations’ top refugee official.

The increased number of Ukrainian refugees represents slightly more than 2% of the nation’s 44 million inhabitants. As per the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), almost 50% of the refugees are in Poland, with Hungary, Moldova, and Slovakia rounding out the top five, while some have gone to other European countries.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel told Russia’s Vladimir Putin that Moscow and Berlin should talk despite “deep differences”, in her final working visit to Russia before stepping down as leader next month.

Merkel’s trip to Moscow coincides with the anniversary of a nerve-agent attack on now-jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, whose life was saved by Berlin doctors.

Her aides have made clear that the timing of the meeting is not accidental.

Even if we have deep disagreements, we are talking to one another and it should stay that way,” Merkel told Putin in a televised exchange before the talks at the Kremlin.

“We have a lot to talk about,” she added, naming several issues on their agenda, including the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan.

They are also expected to discuss the simmering conflict in eastern Ukraine and the authoritarian crackdown in Russia-allied Belarus.

Putin greeted Merkel with flowers, a gesture he reserves for female leaders, and said he hoped the visit will not only be a “farewell” one, but a “serious one”.

Merkel, who will bow out of politics following German elections on September 26, did not mention Navalny in her opening comments.

She has blamed the attack on the Kremlin after tests in European laboratories showed Navalny was poisoned using the Novichok chemical weapon, and has called for his release. Putin denies any involvement.

Merkel’s spokesman Steffen Seibert said the attack had put a “heavy burden” on relations between the two countries.

“Our demands have still not been met,” Seibert said earlier this week, adding that the case was still “unresolved”.

French President Emmanuel Macron called on Putin to release Navalny on the eve of Merkel’s visit in a phone call with the Russian leader, according to the Elysee.

The chancellor will travel to Russia’s rival Ukraine after visiting the Kremlin chief, who infrequently receives Western visitors in Moscow.

Merkel, who grew up in communist East Germany, and Putin, a former KGB agent stationed there, speak each other’s languages.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told US climate envoy John Kerry that Moscow and Washington have a shared interest in battling climate change, the Kremlin said Wednesday, in a rare area of common ground between the rivals.

The climate problem is one of the areas where Russia and the United States have common interests and similar approaches,” Putin said in a phone call with Kerry who is visiting Moscow, the Kremlin said in a statement.

The former secretary of state is in Russia this week to discuss climate change with officials and has called on the country to cooperate with the US on the issue.

Putin said Moscow “attaches great importance” to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and “advocates de-politicising” dialogue on climate change.

The comments on a rare point of cooperation between the two countries come after Putin met US President Joe Biden for talks in Geneva last month.
