Russia has been conducting special military operation to demilitarise and de-Nazify Ukraine since February. President Putin launched the operation after Moscow formally recognised the independence of the Donbass republics that had been engaged in protracted armed conflict with the Ukrainian authorities.
In the course of the special military operation, which began on 24 February, the Russian forces established full control over the Kherson region as well as large swathes of the Zaporozhye region adjacent to the coastline of the sea of Azov.
Russia has formed a military-civilian administration in the territories under its control and introduced the ruble as the local currency. Local authorities have announced that the regions plan to join Russia.

Russian Ambassador to US Sees No Prerequisites for Improvement of Bilateral Relations
Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov sees no prerequisites for the improvement of relations between Moscow and Washington, going on to underscore that American counterparts have shown no readiness to resume dialogue on strategic stability.
"I see no prerequisites for the improvement of relations today," the ambassador told Sputnik, stressing that bilateral relations may further deteriorate. "I believe that the both Russia and the United States profit from good bilateral relations. No matter how strong America is, it will never win the fight against terrorism alone. It will not solve the strategic stability issues and the problem of climate change without us."
"As of today, our American colleagues are not ready to resume contacts on strategic stability. Their representatives have stated this several times. So we are waiting for them to become ready," the ambassador added.

Pope Francis, European Commission President Discuss Ukraine, Food Crisis - Vatican
Pope Francis has met with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and discussed the Ukraine crisis, with an emphasis on humanitarian aid and effects on food security, the Holy See said on Friday.

"During the cordial discussions held in the Secretariat of State, the parties focused on the good bilateral relations and common commitment to work to bring the war in Ukraine to an end, dedicating particular attention to the humanitarian aspects and the food consequences of the continuation of the conflict," a statement said.

The parties also discussed the results of the Conference on the future of Europe and its consequences for the future structure of the bloc.

The Conference on the Future of Europe was a citizen-led series of debates and discussions that ran from April 2021 to May 2022. Ukraine has long sought to become an EU member and enshrined this ambition in its constitution in 2019. After the start of the Russian military operation on 24 February, Kiev officially applied for membership and called on Brussels to fast-track its application.

Weeks of hostilities in the region that is one of the largest producers and exporters of grain have disrupted supply chains globally and put many nations at the risk of hunger, the United Nations has warned.
