WATCH – Russia launches major assault
Ukrainian officials say Russia has launched a major assault on the besieged Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol
Moscow says it will open humanitarian corridors for three days from Thursday, paving the way for dozens of Ukrainian civilians to potentially flee.
Moscow says it will cease all military activity during this time… and withdraw units to a safe distance.
Ukraine’s military is yet to comment on the announcement, but this humanitarian pledge follows a large group of civilians being evacuated from the plant last week under a similar agreement.
Ukraine previously alerted the world Russia had launched a major assault on the steelworks in Mariupol, where at least 200 civilians remain sheltering from attacks.
The country’s ruling parliamentary faction head told the BBC “attempts to storm the plant continue for the second day, and Russian troops are already on the territory of Azovstal.”
It’s the last part of the key port city to be held by Ukrainian forces, with Mariupol largely destroyed by relentless Russian arsenal.
Back in March, 600 people were killed when Russia bombed a theatre in the city.

Trump announces Greenland deal, easing tariff threats amid trade tensions, boosting US markets and sparking Arctic diplomacy debate.
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a framework deal involving Greenland, stepping back from earlier threats to impose tariffs on Europe. The shift comes after heightened global concern over trade tensions and geopolitical stability.
The announcement followed Trump’s appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos and discussions with NATO’s Secretary General.
Denmark’s Foreign Minister has since weighed in, responding to speculation surrounding Greenland’s future and the implications of US involvement.
Markets reacted positively, with US stocks rallying after Trump signalled he would abandon the tariff threats.
While Trump reiterated he would not use force to acquire Greenland, the move has sparked renewed debate about diplomacy, trade, and influence in the Arctic region.

Coalition cracks deepen as Nationals break ranks over Labor reforms
Nationals senators defy party lines, voting against Labor’s reforms as Coalition faces internal rifts and leadership concerns.
Nationals senators defy party lines, voting against Labor’s reforms as Coalition faces internal rifts and leadership concerns.
A rift has emerged in the Coalition after three Nationals senators crossed the floor to vote against Labor’s post-Bondi hate group reforms, defying party lines and raising questions about their future in the shadow cabinet.
Their proposed amendment calling for greater scrutiny was rejected, and Labor’s legislation passed the Senate 38 votes to 22, cementing the reforms into law despite opposition pushback.
Coalition leadership will meet Wednesday to assess the political fallout, though some MPs consider the issue minor in terms of potential resignations. The incident highlights growing tensions within the party as internal discipline comes under pressure.
