Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday vowed to fulfill the objectives of the country’s “special military operation” in Ukraine even as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy left for the US to lobby for more arms.

Russia has dispatched attack helicopters and fighter jets to its base in Syria upon a request from the Damascus government.

As the war in Ukraine continues, the West is taking measures to expand NATO, spearheaded by the United States, stoking the flames of war.

The Russian military says Syrian air defense units have destroyed 16 of 22 Israeli missiles targeting the Arab country’s western-central province of Hama with Russian-made surface-to-air missile systems.

Russia's defense ministry says its airstrikes have destroyed an oil refinery and three fuel storage facilities near Ukraine’s southern port city of Odessa.

The West is the true beginner of the unfolding conflict between Russia and Ukraine, an international relations expert says.

A senior Hamas official says the Ukraine conflict taught the international community that the era of American unilateralism has come to an end.
