Australian ambassador to return to Kyiv at critical point in Russia’s war on Ukraine

Australia's ambassador will return to Kyiv next month, almost three years after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine prompted the embassy's evacuation. The announcement by Foreign Minister Penny Wong on her first visit to Ukraine since the unprovoked assault, followed repeated calls from Ukraine, including President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, to relocate Canberra's diplomatic representatives from Poland. The visit and reopening came at what Wong called "such an important time for your country and for the future of your people", amid huge uncertainty about what impact US President-elect Donald Trump will have on the war.

Ukraine says Russia has launched an ICBM in an attack for the first time in the war

Ukraine says Russia has launched an intercontinental ballistic missile targeting Dnipro city in the central-east of the country, the first time Moscow has used such a missile in the war. It wasn't clear exactly what type of missile was fired overnight, but Ukraine's air force said in a statement on Telegram on Thursday that it was launched from Russia's Astrakhan region. The development comes as the war has taken on a growing international dimension with the arrival of North Korean troops to help Russia on the battlefield.

Trump put Musk on phone with Zelenskyy during congratulatory call, official says

EU pledges to loan Ukraine up to $57 billion to help rebuild its economy and power grid

The European Union pledged on Friday to lend Ukraine up to €35 billion ($57 billion) as part of a loan package organised by the Group of Seven (G7) major industrial nations, as it seeks to help the country rebuild its economy and its war-shattered power grid. G7 leaders agreed in June to engineer a $US50 billion ($73.5 billion) loan to help Ukraine in its fight for survival. Interest earned on profits from Russia's frozen central bank assets would be used as collateral, but progress in distributing the loans has been slow.
