On the 1,046th day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, key developments include Russia claiming to have shot down US-supplied missiles, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reporting heavy losses of Russian and North Korean forces, and a Russian bomb attack injuring civilians. Ukraine’s air force claimed to have shot down a significant number of Russian drones in an overnight attack. Tragically, a Ukrainian drone attack killed a Russian journalist, leading to accusations of deliberate murder by the Russian Foreign Ministry. Russia’s Defence Ministry reported taking control of a village in Ukraine’s Luhansk region and shooting down Ukrainian drones.
In political and diplomatic developments, the pro-Russian breakaway region of Transnistria faced power cuts due to the lack of Russian gas supplies through Ukraine. Additionally, oil from damaged Russian tankers was found off the coast of Sevastopol in Moscow-annexed Crimea.
These recent events highlight the ongoing tensions in the region as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues. The situation remains volatile with both sides reporting military confrontations and casualties. The international community is closely watching as diplomatic efforts are being made to address the escalating crisis in Ukraine.
