*Russian President Putin has warned of a protracted war in Ukraine, but said there was no need for another draft yet.
* Ukrainian forces shelled the Russian city of Belgorod, near Ukraine’s border, on Thursday, the region’s governor claimed.
* Russia said it shot down a drone over the occupied Crimean Peninsula on Thursday, as the Kremlin warned of the risk of “terrorist attacks.”
* Pope Francis broke down and cried as he mentioned the suffering of Ukrainians during a traditional prayer in central Rome.
