LONDON (Reuters) -The U.S. has signalled to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that Ukraine must accept a U.S.-drafted framework to end the war with Russia that proposes Kyiv giving up territory and some weapons,

An anti-Zelensky political coalition is coalescing as the president’s allies are accused of enriching themselves while the country’s soldiers die on the battlefield.

Ukrainian lawmakers fired two ministers ensnared in a major corruption probe on Wednesday and called for more sweeping measures to restore faith in the country's leadership as the scandal provokes the country's biggest wartime political crisis.

Ukraine said it had successfully struck targets in Russia using U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles, ending a months-long absence of the powerful weapon from the battlefield. In a statement shared on Facebook, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine called it "an iconic event that emphasizes Ukraine's unwavering devotion to its sovereignty."
