On Saturday, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that its forces had seized control of two towns in Donetsk, advancing deep into Ukrainian defenses. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called for increased support to shoot down Russian missiles and drones, emphasizing the need for anti-aircraft systems and weapons in sufficient quantity and quality.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galoshenko revealed that Russian forces had attacked the country’s energy facilities, causing damage in multiple regions. The attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure has left many without power, prompting Ukrainian authorities to call for foreign aid.
In response to these developments, Belgium is considering sending two to four F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine as part of new military support for Kiev following heavy losses in their failed counterattack. Additionally, Canada has allocated more than two million dollars to Ukraine to strengthen the drone industry on Ukrainian territory.
On Sunday night, Ukraine launched a massive drone attack on the Krasnodar region in southern Russia, hitting oil refineries and a military air base. The attack caused a fire at the Slavyansk Sur Kuban refinery, forcing it to stop operations.
The situation between Russia and Ukraine remains tense, with escalating military actions on both sides. The conflict shows no signs of abating, leading to concerns about further violence and consequences for both countries and the region as a whole.
