CNN —German basketball team ART Giants Düsseldorf is mourning the death of 17-year-old Ukrainian player Volodymyr Yermakov, who left Ukraine in 2023 to escape the war with Russia, following an alleged stabbing on Saturday. “The two groups of people initially clashed verbally on a public bus on the way to Oberhausen city centre,” the police statement said. Two Ukrainian male youths, aged 17 and 18 years old, from Düsseldorf suffered life-threatening injuries. “To escape the war in his native country, he moved to Düsseldorf in July 2023, where he had found his new home. We wish him a speedy recovery!”The team said Yermakov was an “integral part” of its junior basketball league team and had been called up to the Ukrainian Under-18 national team, even occasionally playing with the club’s first team.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's planned withdrawal of its ratification of the global treaty banning nuclear tests does not mean that it intends to conduct such a test, a senior foreign ministry official told Russian media. Russia ratified the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in 2000 but the lower house of parliament, the State Duma, is due to vote on Tuesday on a bill to reverse that step. He said Russia's position was set out by Putin in February when he said that Russia would only conduct a test if the United States did so first. No country except North Korea has conducted a test involving a nuclear explosion this century. Putin said earlier this month he was not ready to say whether a nuclear test was needed or not.

An ex-convict who fought for Wagner in Ukraine said the front line was "utter hell," Reuters reported. Wagner recruited thousands of convicts to help address Russia's manpower issues in the war. In the face of these personnel problems, Russia turned to the infamous Wagner mercenary group for help. Wagner recruited thousands of prisoners for the fight, promising them pardons in exchange for their service. Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner Group, argued in a statement to Reuters that Wagner was "probably the most experienced army that exists in the world today."

They are identified as pardoned former convicts, returned from the front in Ukraine after joining Wagner from prison. Four of the men said they were personally recruited by Yevgeny Prigozhin as he toured Russia’s prison system to bolster his private army. I wish all real men would join Wagner.”The war in Ukraine is straining Russia’s military capacity. One of the convict recruits told Reuters he travelled to a Wagner training camp in the Russian-controlled part of eastern Ukraine’s Luhansk region. According to the United States, by mid-February Wagner had suffered more than 30,000 casualties in Ukraine, including 9,000 dead, almost all of them convicts.
