Just three days before US President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House, Russia and Iran have finally signed a “comprehensive partnership agreement,” a deal that had been in the works for months.

Russian and Iranian officials say the “comprehensive strategic partnership treaty” covers all areas -– from trade and military cooperation to science, education and culture. The 20-year treaty could be extended further.

The two countries sign a 20-year treaty covering areas ranging from defence and technology to energy and trade.

At least four people were killed in the attack on the capital, which Ukrainian officials said involved ballistic missiles and drones.

Windows were shattered and a fire broke out in a non-residential building in Shevchenkivskyi district, officials say.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged on Thursday to work with Ukraine and allies to offer Kyiv robust security guarantees if a ceasefire is negotiated with Russia, offering more support to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy with a 100-year partnership deal.
