Only together can the world force Russia to stop this terror and make Moscow seek peace.”ICRC president Mirjana Spoljaric said: “I condemn attacks on Red Cross personnel in the strongest terms. It’s unconscionable that shelling would hit an aid distribution site. Our hearts are broken today as we mourn the loss of our colleagues and care for the injured.”of bombing a cargo ship transporting grain from Ukraine to Egypt as it sailed through the Black Sea maritime economic zone of Nato member Romania. “Russia launched a strike on an ordinary civilian vessel in the Black Sea right after it left Ukrainian territorial waters. Fortunately, there were no casualties,” Mr Zelenskiy wrote, alongside photographs of mangled metal on the deck of a cargo ship. British maritime security company Ambrey said a bulk carrier registered in Saint Kitts and Nevis had been hit by a Russian-launched missile after leaving the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Chornomorsk, Reuters reported. Ukraine established a new shipping route from its southern ports that hugs the coasts of Nato members Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey, to avoid Russian attempts to impose a blockade on grain and other exports further east in the Black Sea. Moscow did not immediately comment on its alleged attacks on the Red Cross workers and the cargo ship, but has claimed during its 2½-year full-scale war against pro-western Ukraine that it does not strike civilian targets. Russia’s defence ministry said on Thursday that its troops had retaken 10 settlements in its Kursk region from Ukrainian forces that seized more than 1,000sq km of the border area since launching an incursion last month. Ukraine’s attack on Kursk does not appear to have forced Moscow to redeploy large forces away from Donetsk region, where its troops are still grinding towards the small Kyiv-held city and transport hub of Pokrovsk. “The Russians have launched a counteroffensive. Everything is going according to our Ukrainian plan,” Mr Zelenskiy said, without giving details.German ministry denies claims it considered sanctioning academics supporting PalestineFabric of Europe’s political centre is stretched by immigration issueApple warned Government of ‘real threat to Ireland’ from countries trying to lure multinationals away Spray foam insulation: as 300,000 UK homeowners are left in a tight spot, Irish surveyors have their own warnings‘For the first time, I felt like we could make friends’: Cost rental provides security for tenantsGerman ministry denies claims it considered sanctioning academics supporting Palestine
