President Putin has said that Russia will not retreat from Ukraine or “give away anything that belongs to us”. He made the comments while meeting widows and mothers of Russian soldiers killed in the Ukraine War.

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that Moscow would regard the deployment of any European peacekeeping force in Ukraine as an act of war. He said it would be an escalation of what he called NATO's war against Russia.

It comes as European countries step up defence spending and seek to build a “coalition of the willing” to support Ukraine in its war with Russia.

Some of the sweeping tariffs imposed on Mexican and Canadian goods imported to the United States will be suspended until next month, US President Donald Trump said.

The US previously enacted sweeping 25% tariffs on its North American neighbours earlier this week.

Trump said he wants to use tariffs to protect US jobs and manufacturing, and to prevent illegal migration and drug trafficking.

The maker of a viral AI video that apparently depicted Donald Trump's vision for Gaza has spoken about the reaction to his video.

Creator Solo Avital called the video a "satire" and said it was posted by the US president without consent.

Trump shared it to his own social media platform, Truth Social, as well as his other social media accounts.

Last month, Trump proposed that the US would "own" Gaza and relocate its population, so that it could be rebuilt and turned into the "Riviera of the Middle East".

Scientists have discovered a new part of the immune system which they say is a goldmine for potential antibiotics.

They've shown a part of the body known to recycle proteins has a secret mode that can spew out an arsenal of bacteria-killing chemicals.

The researchers in Israel say it transforms our understanding of how we are protected against infection.

They added that it gives a new place to look for antibiotics to tackle the growing problem of superbugs that resist our current drugs.

The United Nations is set to halve food rations to Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh to just £4.70 - around $6 per person, per month, after failing to find enough finance.

Aid workers now fear rising hunger in the world's largest refugee camp.

It comes after funding cuts announced by the US, which contribute almost half of all aid to the refugees.

Bangladesh is sheltering more than a million Rohingyas, a persecuted Muslim minority who fled violent purges in neighbouring Myanmar.

The US has paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine, US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz confirmed on Wednesday.

He added that the Trump administration was pausing and reviewing "all aspects of this relationship".

The US has shared intelligence with Ukraine since the early stages of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.

It paused military aid to Kyiv on Monday following a dramatic breakdown in relations in the Oval Office last week, when Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky was told to leave the White House after an angry meeting with US President Donald Trump.

More US support for Ukraine has been withdrawn, with National Security Adviser Mike Waltz confirming that Washington has stopped sharing US intelligence. He said the Trump administration was pausing and reviewing "all aspects of this relationship".

The US has shared intelligence with Ukraine since the early stages of Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. The loss of intelligence will cause Ukraine serious problems in maintaining its war effort. The information helps Ukraine’s defence, for example providing warning of Russian attacks and is also required for offensive capabilities including targeting.

The US had already paused military aid to Kyiv following a dramatic breakdown in relations in the Oval Office last week, when Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky was told to leave after an angry meeting with US President Donald Trump.

Meanwhile French President Emmanuel Macron announced a meeting of European army chiefs in Paris next week, saying in a televised speech that France must be prepared to move forward without US help. "I want to believe the US will stay at our side, but we must be ready if that is not the case," Macron said.

It remains unclear if the pause in US intelligence sharing is temporary or permanent. CIA Director John Ratcliffe said that Donald Trump "had a real question about whether President Zelensky was committed to the peace process, and he said 'let's pause, I want to give you a chance to think about that'."
