Zelensky and ​​Stefanchuk will speak via videoconference. Messora said European Council President Charles Michel, European Commission President Ursul von der Leyen and European Union High Representative Joseph Borrell Fonteles will also attend the meeting.

The European Parliament will meet at 12.30pm GMT (6.30pm IST).

Russia’s military offensive entered its sixth day of heavy bombardment on Tuesday. In Kharkiv, one of the worst-hit cities in the Eastern European country, residential buildings were hit by Russian missiles.

The United Nations says at least 136 civilians, including 13 children, have been killed since Russian President Vladimir Putin declared war in Ukraine last week – a claim he rejects. In addition, some 400 people were injured in European countries and thousands were displaced.

Liz Throssel, a spokeswoman for the United Nations Office for Human Rights (OHCHR), said the actual number of victims was expected to increase, adding that in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions – eastern Ukraine and the Russia’s close separatist region – a total of 253 victims were reported.

Ceasefire talks between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations ended at the Belarusian border on Monday, with another meeting planned soon. Meanwhile, Zelensky signed Ukraine’s application to join the European Union, a move aimed at strengthening the country’s ties with the West.

Jennifer Lopez ‘let go of her’ high-heeled ego while working with Ben Affleck

As Jennifer Lopez navigates her separation from Ben Affleck, she prioritizes her career, notably in the film Unstoppable.

Jennifer Lopez has “let go of her ego” to prioritise her career and personal growth as she navigates her separation from Ben Affleck.

The 55-year-old actress and singer, during an interview with Amazon/MGM, opened up about working on the upcoming film Unstoppable, a project she co-starred in while estranged from her husband.

“It was an honour to be a part of Anthony [Robles] and to play Judy,” Jennifer shared. “I approached the role with a complete lack of ego where you have to go in there and have so much respect for the person you are playing because it’s her story.”

“I disappeared, there was no Jennifer, no J. Lo. That person on the screen is just Judy. Luckily, I got to spend time with her and see who she was alone and as a mother.”

“Unstoppable is a very different movie than [Small Things Like These], but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” Ben told Entertainment Toninght just couple of weeks back. “Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel and Bobby Cannavale – all of whom were really passionate about this film.”

After reuniting and marrying in 2022, Jennifer filed for divorce in August 2024. Reports of marital struggles, including living separately, surfaced months before the filing.

“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” an insider told InTouch Weekly. “Ben already moved out … They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her.”
