The war in Ukraine enters its 884th day with continued fighting and political developments. In the Sumy region of Ukraine, Russian shelling killed a 14-year-old boy and injured 12 people, including six children. In other regions, more casualties were reported, with attacks by both Russian and Ukrainian forces. Ukrainian attack drones targeted a Russian bomber, while Russia claimed to have captured a village in Donetsk.
In a separate incident, Russian air defense systems destroyed seven Ukrainian drones, while Ukrainian forces halted multiple Russian attacks in the Pokrovsk area. Three Russian military helicopters were targeted in acts of sabotage, and a drone attack caused a fire at an oil storage depot in Russia’s Kursk region. Meanwhile, in politics and diplomacy, China denied allegations of aiding Russia in the war, while Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban praised Russia’s leadership and downplayed Ukraine’s ambitions of joining the EU or NATO.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit Ukraine in the coming months, showing support for the country while maintaining a diplomatic balance with Russia. In terms of weapons, a Russian Su-34 bomber crashed during a training flight without ammunition, with the crew safely ejecting.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to escalate, with casualties mounting and international political dynamics playing a significant role in shaping the outcome of the war.
