UN holds emergency meeting as Ukraine crisis intensifies

The UN Security Council is holding an emergency meeting in New York to discuss the Ukraine crisis

An urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council has convened in New York after Russia recognised two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine and hours later said it would deploy troops there to “maintain peace”.

The United States said the announcement by Russian President Vladimir Putin was an “unprovoked violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity” and backed Ukraine’s call for an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council.

US ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield has condemned Russia’s decision to recognise the two rebel-held territories in eastern Ukraine, warning that the consequences will be dire across Ukraine, Europe and worldwide.

The West has repeatedly warned the Kremlin not to officially recognise the separatist regions in Donetsk and Luhansk, an area with some four million residents.

They say in doing so would undermine the fragile ‘Minsk’ peace agreement.

Leaders from around the world spoke at the meeting, condemning actions by Russia as an invasion of Ukraine becomes more and more likely by the day.

Russia has been massing its forces around Ukraine’s borders for weeks, raising concern among the US and other Western governments that the Kremlin is planning to invade its neighbour.

Moscow has insisted it has no plans to invade.

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.


In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
