#Ukraine’s #Kursk offensive has dented Vladimir #Putin’s war narrative and triggered “questions” among the Russian elite about the point of the war, two of the world’s leading spy chiefs have said.

#CIA director Bill #Burns said Kursk was “a significant tactical achievement” that had boosted Ukrainian morale and exposed #Russia’s weaknesses. It has “raised questions . . . across the Russian elite about where is this all headed”, he said.

Prime Minister Giorgia #Meloni said on Saturday that #Italy would never waver in its support for #Ukraine, and that the current stalemate in the war showed that the Western response to #Russia's invasion of its neighbour was the right one.

"I believe #China and #India have a role to play to resolve the conflict. The only thing that cannot happen is to think that the conflict can be solved by abandoning Ukraine," Meloni said after meeting #Zelenskiy.

#Hungary has long enjoyed bargain Russian oil. New Ukrainian sanctions are changing that — and #Budapest is fuming.
