International 

America’s top diplomat says time is running out for US-led talks to find a path of peace in Ukraine.

Those remarks from Paris follow Russian airstrikes that killed dozens and injured more than 100 people in Sumy, Ukraine, mid-morning on Palm Sunday. It’s the deadliest attack in the country’s invasion this year.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said his country’s troops will not leave established buffer zones in Gaza after the war ends.

This week, the rebel group fighting the Sudanese army for power announced that it has formed its own government. The leader of the Rapid Support Forces described the new government as a “broad civilian coalition.”
