The Prosecutor General’s Office in Ukraine said it was investigating the suspected Russian execution of a Ukrainian soldier found dead with a sword in his body in the latest criminal investigation since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The latest incident allegedly took place in the eastern town of Novohrodivka.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said his country was committed to deeper ties with Russia to counter Western sanctions, state media reported, as he met Russia’s top security official Sergei Shoigu. The US is concerned that Iran is supplying missiles to Moscow for use in Ukraine. Tehran has denied sending ballistic missiles to Russia.
