As the war in Ukraine continues to escalate, with the conflict entering its 945th day, developments on the ground have intensified. Ukrainian forces reported a significant attack by Russian forces using drones and missiles, targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Casualties were reported in various regions, including a woman killed in a missile strike in Odesa and 10 people injured in Zaporizhzhia.
On the diplomatic front, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with US President Joe Biden at the White House, with Biden promising continued support for Ukraine. Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris also met Zelenskyy and condemned her opponent, Donald Trump, for his stance on Ukraine. Meanwhile, Chinese and Russian foreign ministers held talks on Ukraine, with discussions focused on achieving lasting peace in the region.
In a significant move, Biden announced nearly $8 billion in new military aid for Ukraine, including munitions to enhance the country’s strike capabilities. This comes as Russian forces continue to make advances, capturing the town of Ukrainsk in eastern Donetsk region.
Amidst the rising tensions, a Polish court jailed two individuals for spying for Russia, while a senior adviser to Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban made controversial comments criticizing Ukraine’s response to the invasion. As the conflict shows no signs of abating, the international community remains on edge, with fears of further escalation.
