The latest developments from the Ukraine war.
Zelenskyy rules out wartime elections
“Now is not the time for elections,” Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday, trying to put to rest a growing debate amid Russia's grinding invasion.
"Now is the time for defence, for battle, on which the fate of the state and people depends, and not for farce, which only Russia expects from Ukraine," Zelenskyy said in a speech. "I think this is not the time for elections.
“We must come together, not divide ourselves, not disperse ourselves in quarrels or other priorities,” he added.
Wagner fighters training Chechen forces - Kadyrov
The notorious leader of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov has said a "large group" of former Wagner mercenaries are training his AKHMAT special forces.
AKHMAT, widely considered Kadyrov's private army, would "be joined by fighters who have excellent combat experience and have proven themselves as brave and efficient warriors," claimed the Putin-backed warlord.
"I am confident that in the upcoming battles they will fully live up to their reputation."
NATO condemns Russian withdrawal from arms treaty
NATO member states on Tuesday condemned Russia's decision to formally withdraw from the landmark treaty limiting conventional military forces in Europe.
Russia first decided to suspend its participation in the 1992 treaty on conventional weapons in Europe in 2007, but Moscow only announced its formal withdrawal from the treaty this Monday.
Moscow's war against Ukraine has dealt a fatal blow to the multi-treaty arms control regime that has helped maintain the balance of power in Europe for decades.
The NATO allies announced in a communiqué that they "condemn Russia's decision to withdraw from the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE), and its war of aggression against Ukraine, which is contrary to the objectives of the Treaty".
The membership also announced their intention to "suspend [Russia's] participation in the CFE Treaty for as long as necessary", the statement added.
