America’s top spy sees a “grinding struggle” ahead for Russia in Ukraine, with President Vladimir Putin’s military able to make incremental gains but no significant breakthrough as it seeks to take control of large parts of its neighbor.
Amnesty International said in a report Russia committed a war crime with a deadly air strike in March in Mariupol on a theater where civilians were sheltered. Indonesian President Joko Widodo is due to meet Putin on Thursday after holding talks with Ukraine’s leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
