Ukrainian forces were advancing amid a 'massive offensive' in different areas of Bakhmut, claimed Ukraine’s Eastern Group of Forces spokesman Serhii Cherevaty. As of Sunday, Russia carried out 27 airstrikes and a missile attack, while targeting several regions in 80 rocket launcher attacks.
The Hawker Hurricane fighters played a crucial role in defeating the attempts of Nazi Germany to invade the United Kingdom, shooting down over half of the enemy aircraft in the Battle of Britain, in a campaign led by the Royal Air Force (RAF).
The Ukrainian president also called Wagner forces fighting in Ukraine a 'motivated staff of the Russian Army' comprising mostly of convicts who had nothing more to lose. He asserted that Russia was losing the war and had no more victories in Ukraine.
At the same event, the 80-year-old US President referred to his recent meeting with PM Modi as his 'new best friend' and mistakenly mentioned China instead of India.
Following the strike in Kramatorsk, Zelenskyy said it was a "manifestation of terror" and said that a tribunal should be set up for alleged crimes in the ensuing Russian-Ukraine war.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko confirmed Prigozhin was in Belarus, and said he and some of his troops were welcome to stay “for some time” at their own expense.
This came nearly three days after Prigozhin announced to halt his operation to oust the Russian regime after striking an apparent deal brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
Putin, who remained mum for nearly three days following a failed coup attempt, appeared on television for five minutes, where he delivered a message in a stern tone.
In a video released by his ministry, it shows Shoigu flying in a helicopter and then attending a meeting with military officers at a military headquarters in Ukraine.
It is worth mentioning Russia witnessed a series of dramatic events on Saturday after Prigozhin called for mutiny-- in the latest event that demonstrated a feud between the country's official and private armies publically.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said in the report to the Security Council that he is “appalled” by the high number of “grave violations” against children in Ukraine in 2022.
The march on the capital by Wagner troops led by Yevgeny Prigozhin and the late-night deal that eventually halted it severely dented Putin’s reputation as a leader who is willing to ruthlessly punish anyone who challenges his authority.
Although Prigozhin, a top and trustworthy ally of President Vladimir Putin, asserted his decision came in order to avoid "bloodshed" in the country, however, Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Wagner's boss has signed contracts with the Russian Defense Ministry.
Zelenskyy further said that "anyone who chooses the path of evil destroys himself." Targeting Russian President Vladimir Putin, he said that he has barricaded himself in Moscow from the very forces he had armed.
Putin's address to the nation: This came a day after Russian mercenary group Wagner, in a staunch warning to the leadership, warned the Putin government to topple the country's Defence Ministry amid an internal feud between the private army and armed forces.
Ever since Putin escalated the war against his neighbouring nation, Ukraine, Prigozhin formed a private army group and had been leading the forces.
Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin warned his forces would "destroy everything" in their way.
Russian media reported that they came down close to the village of Lukino, which is administratively part of the city of Moscow. A third drone's wreckage was reportedly discovered 20 kilometers (12 miles) away. There were no reports of casualties or damage.
Zelenskyy last visited the UK in early May, when the Sunak-led government confirmed that Britain will supply long-range missiles to Ukraine in support of its counter-offensive in the ongoing conflict.
UK military officials stated in their regular assessment that Russian losses are probably at their highest level since the peak of the battle for Bakhmut in March.
