Ukraine in 'mortal danger' without aid, Olena Zelenska warns
Olena Zelenska has warned that Ukrainians are in "mortal danger" of being left to die if Western countries don't continue their financial support.
Ukraine's first lady spoke to Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg a day after Republican senators in the US blocked a key aid bill.
It would have provided more than $60bn (£47.8bn) worth of support to Ukraine.
Speaking hours after a Russian missile attack, she said: "If the world gets tired, they will simply let us die."

Putin lands in UAE for a rare foreign trip

Switzerland returns 2,000-year-old Libyan sculpture
Switzerland's government handed over a prehistoric Libyan marble sculpture believed to be more than 2,000 years old to Libya's embassy in the Swiss' capital, Bern.
The sculpture of a young woman’s head measures 19cm (seven inches) high and "dates to the period between the first century BC and first century AD", Switzerland's Federal Office of Cultural Affairs said in a statement.
The sculpture was found in a customs warehouse in Geneva in 2013 and legally confiscated by Swiss authorities in 2016.
The office added that there "was sufficient reason to believe that it had been acquired as part of an illegal excavation” but were unable to determine how the sculpture ended up in Switzerland.
Libya and Switzerland are both party to a 1970 Unesco treaty that seeks to prevent the illegal trade of cultural property.
