Russia-Ukraine war: US and Germany agree to supply advanced weapons to Ukraine
During a meeting in Pyongyang in June, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a pact stipulating mutual military assistance if either country is attacked, in what was considered the two countries’ biggest defense deal since the end of the Cold War.
Ukraine's foreign minister Andrii Sybiha called on the world to prevent Russian scenarios involving strikes on nuclear power facilities. This came after a Russian overnight strike killed three in central Ukrainian city of Kryvyi Rih.
Russian air defence units were still trying to repel "a massive drone attack" over the town of Toropets as multiple explosions were heard on Wednesday, as per authorities. Kyiv says its strikes on Russia target military, energy and transport infrastructure key to Moscow's war efforts.
Russia views Ukraine's Kursk incursion as a "major provocation" and has threatened to retaliate while it advances in the eastern Pokrovsk city. Zelenskyy has recently pushed for renewed peace negotiations on Ukrainian terms, and the incursion was part of the plan to pit pressure on Russia.
The 'glide bombs' are fitted with a navigation system telling them where to strike and are hard to intercept, making it a dangerous weapon in the ongoing war. The attack wounded at least 77 people, of whom 20 are in serious condition.
PM Modi visited Ukraine last week and discussed the situation there, among other topics, with US President Joe Biden on Monday. PM Modi is one of the few world leaders who has visited both Russia and Ukraine since the war broke out two-and-a-half years ago.
Zelenskyy's remarks came while addressing a press conference after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Kyiv on Friday. He said that Putin will be forced to stop the war in Ukraine "if India changes its stance".
The visit comes amid ongoing conflict, with Ukrainian forces in Russia's western Kursk region and Russian advances in eastern Ukraine. Modi's visit follows a recent trip to Moscow, where he urged for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Zelenskyy visited the northeastern Sumy region on Thursday and said his troops had captured another settlement in Kursk. Russian President Vladimir Putin had promised a "worthy response" to Kyiv's unprecedented attack on Kursk over two weeks ago, which boosted Ukraine's morale.
