No evidence was presented. French officials rejected the allegation as \u201can outright lie,\u201d while there was no immediate response from London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe once again warn of the risks of a direct military confrontation between nuclear powers and, accordingly, of its potentially dire consequences,\u201d the ministry said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ukraine not abandoned<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, European leaders pledged continued support for Ukraine as the war entered its fifth year, despite divisions among Kyiv\u2019s allies. The anniversary came a day after Hungary blocked new European sanctions on Russia and delayed approval of a proposed \u20ac90 billion financial package seen as vital for Ukraine\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly called on partners to tighten sanctions and increase military assistance, accusing Moscow of prolonging the conflict. Russian President Vladimir Putin has shown no indication of ending hostilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">G7 backs peace efforts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaders of the Group of Seven (G7), including US President Donald Trump, reaffirmed their \u201cunwavering support for Ukraine\u201d and endorsed diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a joint statement, the leaders said they supported initiatives to bring both sides into direct negotiations, noting Europe\u2019s leading role alongside international partners. They also backed proposals by a \u201cCoalition of the Willing\u201d to provide security guarantees to Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">European leaders visit Kyiv<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Senior European officials, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, travelled to Kyiv to mark the anniversary. She said the European Union would deliver financial assistance to Ukraine \u201cone way or another.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the battlefield, Russian forces continued gradual advances while launching missile and drone strikes that have heavily damaged Ukraine\u2019s energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Peace hurdles remain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In televised remarks, Putin accused Ukraine of undermining peace efforts, which remain stalled over territorial disputes and control of Europe\u2019s largest nuclear power plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russia has demanded that Ukraine cede the remaining portion of the eastern Donetsk region under Kyiv\u2019s control, while Ukraine insists it will not surrender territory defended at heavy cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an address, Zelenskyy said Ukraine would not betray the sacrifices of its people for the sake of ending the war. Commemorations in Kyiv were subdued, reflecting widespread war fatigue among the population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MOSCOW\/KYIV: Russia on Tuesday warned of the risk of a direct military confrontation between nuclear powers after its foreign intelligence service alleged that Western countries were preparing to supply Ukraine&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1620,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[100,1342,1343,582,1322],"class_list":["post-1619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-donald-trump","tag-g7","tag-russia-ukraine-conflict","tag-ukraine-war","tag-volodymyr-zelenskyy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
