Ukraine Strikes Kronstadt; Iran Fires Missiles at Kuwait, Bahrain
Ukraine's 1,000km drone strike on Kronstadt's Baltic Fleet base — on the final day of Putin's St Petersburg forum, where he refused direct talks — was the day's defining action; Iran simultaneously fired seven ballistic missiles at Kuwait and Bahrain, US forces intercepting six. Hungary lifted its 17-month EU accession veto for Ukraine after a minority-rights deal, with intergovernmental conferences set June 15. France entered crisis mode after the body of 11-year-old Lyhanna was found; suspect had two prior dropped rape cases.
Ukraine strikes Kronstadt naval base and Leningrad arsenals in 1,000km drone attack timed to St Petersburg forum
Ukrainian drones on Saturday struck Kronstadt — the main base of Russia's Baltic Fleet — and military arsenals in the Leningrad region in what Zelensky described as a 1,000km-range mission; Leningrad governor Alexander Drozdenko reported more than 140 drones shot down, a fire at a military facility, and resident evacuations, while St Petersburg governor Alexander Beglov issued the city's first stay-at-home order since February 2022. Zelensky simultaneously struck a Krasnodar region oil depot 500km away as part of Ukraine's 'long-range sanctions,' and declared the attacks a just response to Russian strikes. The assault fell on the final day of Russia's St Petersburg International Economic Forum, a day after Putin, speaking at the same forum, refused Zelensky's request for direct peace talks.
Body of 11-year-old Lyhanna found; suspect had two prior rape cases dropped — Darmanin cites judicial chain failure
The body of Lyhanna, an 11-year-old from Fleurance in the Gers who went missing on May 29, was found Thursday in an abandoned silo; the 41-year-old suspect, a father of two whose daughter attended the same school, had twice been formally accused of child rape — proceedings that were dropped or stalled — and was under a third active rape investigation at the time of her disappearance. Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin described the judicial chain's failures as 'terrifying,' promised to publish administrative inquiry results and take 'sanctions,' and acknowledged that France systematically fails to take children's words seriously. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu cancelled a scheduled prison visit and convened an emergency meeting at Matignon, summoning his ministers of justice, interior, and public accounts.
US-led trade war against China broadens as Europe and allies add tariffs, subsidies and export controls
Thirteen months after Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariff announcement, the emerging trade conflict has shifted from bilateral US-China confrontation to a broader multi-front effort to end China's dominance in pharmaceuticals, critical minerals and advanced semiconductors, with the EU, Canada and others now evaluating their own tariffs, subsidies and export controls alongside the American measures. The economic costs are concrete on all sides: higher consumer prices in tariff-imposing countries, dearer Chinese-sourced inputs for Western manufacturers, Chinese exporters locked out of key markets, and China retaining the threat of cutting off the critical-mineral and commodity supply chains it near-monopolises as a retaliatory lever. Analysts describe Trump's scattershot protectionism — raising tariffs across the board without targeting China's specific chokepoints — as undermining the natural alliances needed to sustain a durable economic campaign against Beijing.
Ukraine calls for international humanitarian corridor to evacuate starving civilians from Russian-occupied Oleshky
Ukraine is urging the international community to establish a humanitarian corridor to evacuate up to 2,000 civilians, including nearly 50 children, from the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, where famine has taken hold since March. The city, flooded after the 2023 Kakhovka dam destruction and heavily mined, has been cut off from food deliveries since mid-January, with only one truck arriving on May 4. Kyiv says a truce date from Moscow is needed to begin the evacuation, which would require supervision by the United Nations or the Red Cross.
