No humanitarian corridors today as Russia warns of WWIII [View all]

Russia accused NATO of creating a serious risk of nuclear war by arming Ukraine in a proxy battle as Washington and its allies met today to pledge the heavy weapons Kyiv needs to achieve victory.

It comes as Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said no humanitarian corridors were operating today as there had been no break in the fighting in Ukraine.

US officials have shifted emphasis this week from speaking mainly about helping Ukraine defend itself to bolder talk of a Ukrainian victory delivering a blow to Russia's ability to threaten its neighbours.

They have approved shipments of hundreds of millions of dollars in arms, including artillery and drones they held back from sending in earlier phases of the war.
