Ukraine-Russia war – live: US comments on Kyiv’s Nato membership prospects after cluster munitions deal
The White House weighed in on Ukraine’s potential Nato membership shortly after announcing that it will send controversial cluster munitions to the eastern European country. The munitions will be sent for the first time amid Ukraine’s ongoing war against Russia, as the conflict enters its 500th day this weekend and ahead of a Nato summit to be held next week in Lithuania. Turkey president Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky that his country ‘deserves’ to be in the Western bloc. White House national security advisor Jake Sullivan on Friday said the upcoming summit will underscore Nato’s readiness to consider Ukraine’s membership. Mr Sullivan, however, said Ukraine “will not be joining Nato coming out of this summit”. Meanwhile, he said Kyiv has “provided written assurances” that it would use the controversial weapons “in a very careful way that is aimed at minimising any risk to civilians”. A senior Ukrainian official previously said Ukraine would welcome the munitions from the US as they would have an “extraordinary psycho-emotional impact” on Russian forces.

Missing French toddler – latest: Bloody car found in Haut Vernet search for Emile
Blood has been detected on the front of a car in Le Vernet, the French Alpine village where a two-year-old boy went missing on Saturday. “At the moment we don’t even know if it’s human blood”, MailOnline reported an investigative source as saying, noting that the traces have been transferred for scientific analysis to determine if they could be linked to missing Emile. “It might be a very old trace too, so everybody is being very cautious about the find”, the source added. Meanwhile, police confirmed that Emile’s parents home - in Bouilladisse - was searched on Monday, with one judicial source stating that “gendarmes were looking into the family’s background.” Two-year-old Emile was last seen playing in the garden of a property in Le Vernet in the Alpes-de-Haute department of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, with his grandparents notifying the police of his disappearance at around 5.15pm local time on Saturday. Police added on Wednesday that at least 10 people were present at the property where Emile was last seen amidst a family reunion, with “several uncles and aunts of the child, of all ages, including some minors”, a police source said.
