The war between Russia and Ukraine continues to escalate with new developments taking place on the 937th day of the conflict. In the central city of Kropyvnytskyi, at least one person was killed and a 90-year-old woman injured in a Russian attack. The Ukrainian air force successfully shot down 46 out of 52 drones launched by Moscow and thwarted three guided air missiles that failed to reach their targets. Russia’s attempts to retake Ukrainian-occupied territory in the Kursk region have been halted, according to Ukraine’s military administration.
On the political front, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Kyiv has prepared a “victory plan” to end the war with Russia and will discuss it with US President Joe Biden during an upcoming visit to the US. Slovenia, holding the presidency of the UN Security Council, announced that Zelenskyy will address the council as world leaders gather in New York for the annual UN meetings. Defence ministers from NATO’s eastern flank called for a collective response to Russian violations of their airspace.
In the realm of weapons, US officials are seeking more detailed information from Ukraine on how they plan to use Western-supplied long-range weapons for strikes inside Russia, as part of their broader war strategy. In Russia, Major General Denis Putilov was detained on suspicion of taking a bribe in the defense sector corruption scandal. As the conflict intensifies, the world continues to watch closely for any potential resolution or further escalations in the ongoing war.
