A warehouse in St Petersburg owned by one of Russia's biggest online retailers has gone up in flames, Reuters reports Russia's ministry of emergency situations as saying, as firefighters battled a huge blaze on Saturday.
It is not yet known how the fire, which covered 50,000 sq metres and was rated as category five, the most severe, had began. Nearly 300 firefighters, dozens of fire engines, and helicopters, were battling to put out the fire, officials said.
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has praised a security deal signed with Britain during a visit by prime minister Rishi Sunak as a history-making model for our time. The deal, which guarantees that the UK will give swift and sustained help should Russia attack Ukraine again gives us confidence now, while we defend ourselves from Russian aggression, and establishes our strong security positions throughout the period until Ukraine joins Nato, Zelenskiy said in his nightly address.
The Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, said he would visit Kyiv in the next few days. Warsaw is one of Ukraine's key allies in its war against Russia...Zelenskiy said he was more positive now than he was last month that his country would secure new financial aid from the US.
