World leaders take part in a ceremony in honor of fallen soldiers on the sidelines of a summit in Kyiv, held to mark the third anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine on Monday marked the bleakest anniversary yet of its war against the Russia invasion, with the country's forces under severe pressure on the battlefield. Those present in the Ukrainian capital include European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

The United Nations Security Council on Friday called on Rwanda’s military to end its support for the M23 rebel group in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, or the DRC. The 15-member council unanimously adopted a French-drafted resolution urging both the DRC and Rwanda to engage in diplomatic talks to achieve a lasting peaceful resolution. The resolution also called for the immediate withdrawal of all foreign troops from Congolese territory “without preconditions.” France’s permanent representative to the U.N., Ambassador Nicolas de Riviere, said the resolution sends “a clear message that there’s no military solution to the conflict in the east of the DRC.”
