Ukraine’s war with Russia entered its 896th day with fierce battles in the Kursk region. 1,000 Ukrainian troops launched a raid, prompting Russia to use air strikes and artillery to push them back. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy condemned Russian aggression and praised the army’s ability to surprise. Russian attacks resulted in casualties in multiple regions, including a schoolyard bombing in Sumy.
In terms of diplomacy, Ukraine criticized Niger for cutting ties and a court sentenced a Ukrainian to 12 years for terrorism in a region occupied by Russia. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian was jailed for espionage in Luhansk. In terms of weapons, Ukraine demonstrated a new robot dog for use on the front lines.
The situation remains tense as both sides continue to exchange fire, causing civilian casualties and displacements. Despite diplomatic efforts, the conflict shows no signs of abating. The international community watches closely as the war in Ukraine rages on, with no end in sight.
