Russia-Ukraine war live: UN security council to meet over ‘humanitarian consequences’ of grain deal collapse
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has lifted sanctions on the Russian businessman Oleg Tinkov.
The decision comes days after Sir Richard Branson urged the government to reconsider its decision to sanction Tinkov, a serial entrepreneur who founded the digital bank Tinkoff.
Tinkov was sanctioned in the aftermath of the invasion of Ukraine but has criticised the “insane” war and renounced Russian citizenship over it.

The EU has announced it will provide up to €5bn a year for the next four years for Ukraine’s defence needs via the means of a “dedicated section” under the European Peace facility.
यूरोपीय संघ के विदेश नीति प्रमुख जोसेप बोरेल ने कहा:
यह अभी भी वही उपकरण है, यूरोपीय शांति सुविधा, जो बहुत अच्छी तरह से काम कर रही है और हम इसका उपयोग करना जारी रखेंगे, लेकिन इसके अंदर एक समर्पित अध्याय के साथ, एक विशिष्ट फंडिंग के साथ जिसका अनुमान मेरे द्वारा उल्लिखित आंकड़ों पर लगाया जा सकता है।
The New York Times has now also reported that Ukraine has begun firing cluster munitions that were controversially provided by the US, citing two American military officials.
US military depots in Europe last week sent hundreds of thousands of the weapons to Ukraine, Pentagon officials said. It was hoped the delivery would allow Ukraine “to sustain the artillery fight for the foreseeable future.”
We reported earlier that Col Oleksandr Bakulin earlier this week said that the weapons – which have already been used by both sides in the conflict – were necessary to “inflict maximum damage on enemy infantry”. A Ukrainian official told the Washington Post that the US-made bombs have now been fired at entrenched Russian positions.
