Leading G-7 diplomats appear unlikely to make significant progress toward a price cap on Russian oil at the meeting. MÜNSTER, Germany—Top diplomats from the world’s wealthiest democracies opened two days of meetings Thursday aimed at coordinating their sometimes divergent approaches to Russia, China and Iran. Foreign ministers of the Group of 7 countries plan to issue a strong denunciation of Russia’s nuclear threats in Ukraine when the meeting concludes Friday and to agree on fresh economic support to quickly rebuild Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, according to U.S. and European officials familiar with the agenda.
Top diplomats from the Group of Seven leading nations warned Iran against providing drones and further military support to Russia in its war in Ukraine, as Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities face a worsening energy crisis after Moscow switched tactics to target civilian infrastructure. At the end of a two-day meeting in the German city of Münster, where officials discussed the war and the West’s relations with China, the officials warned they would take further measures against Russia and countries that are assisting its campaign in Ukraine.

WASHINGTON—U.S. lawmakers are weighing plans to pass a multibillion-dollar aid package for Ukraine before year’s end, congressional aides said, reflecting fears among Democrats and some Republicans that a new and potentially GOP-controlled Congress would be less supportive of such assistance. The discussions, which haven’t yielded a concrete legislative proposal, are aimed at wrapping potentially tens of billions of Ukraine aid in a must-pass, year-end government funding package, assuring Kyiv of continued military and economic support through 2023, the aides said. Congress has until Dec. 16 to fund the government and avoid a shutdown.
WASHINGTON—The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which coordinates all U.S. spy agencies, is conducting a damage assessment to gauge the potential risk to national security from the mishandling of highly classified documents at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Former intelligence and law-enforcement officials who have been involved in past damage assessments say they are painstaking affairs, aimed at determining who had access to the materials and whether highly sensitive U.S. intelligence-gathering programs were disclosed to adversaries. Here is what we know about the process of establishing what, if any, security risks were posed by the insecure way in which documents were stored.
LANGLEY, Va.—The CIA’s newly refurbished museum tells the story of some daring spy schemes that were successful, others that worked only partially or for a while, and some flat-out failures. Its newest exhibit is from the first category. The model of the Kabul safe house where the CIA located al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and killed him on July 31 in a drone strike remained a secret until a few days ago, when it was declassified and took its place alongside spy cameras, expendable one-shot pistols and hundreds of other artifacts in the museum at the Central Intelligence Agency’s suburban Virginia headquarters.
Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines and other top U.S. officials appeared before the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this year. WASHINGTON—U.S. spy agencies are poorly equipped to combat an expanding array of adversaries trying to steal vital secrets from institutions and businesses across American society, according to a Senate report released on Tuesday. The bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee says that U.S. counterintelligence efforts haven’t kept pace with espionage, hacking and disinformation threats from major powers such as China, transnational criminal organizations and ideologically motivated groups.

Satellite imagery of Moscow amassing troops near the border with Ukraine allowed analysts to predict the Russian invasion in February. WASHINGTON—As Russian troops surged toward Ukraine’s border last fall, a small Western intelligence unit swung into action, tracking signs Moscow was preparing to invade. It drew up escape routes for its people and wrote twice-daily intelligence reports. The unit drafted and sent to its leaders an assessment on Feb. 16, 2022, that would be eerily prescient: Russia, it said, would likely invade Ukraine on Feb. 23, U.S. East Coast time.
