The accusations leveled against Russia for the unrest in European countries demonstrate "the weakness and inability of some of their leaders to take responsibility for what is happening": Vladimir Putin said this in an interview on Russian state TV, quoted by the Tass agency.
"Almost every day" Russia's "brutal attacks" in Ukraine "cause deaths and injuries", like those which occurred last night, in which four people were killed in the Dnipro region: so the leader of Kiev, Volodymyr Zelensky. "Another 22 people were injured, including an 11-year-old girl," added the Ukrainian president. Zelensky also reported that in Vinnytsia, southwest of Kiev, a Russian drone hit a multi-storey residential building and six people were injured. A Russian drone strike left one dead and four injured in Kharkiv. In Belgorod, one dead and ten wounded during a Ukrainian attack during the night.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk said that "the Ukrainian military violated Starlink's terms of service and used it for drone strikes to kill people. That gap was closed last week."
A bilateral meeting between Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump on the sidelines of APEC has not yet been agreed upon. However, these important international summits offer ample opportunities for communication, and if the leaders are close they may have contacts. Yuri Ushakov, advisor to the Russian president, says so. "We have not yet coordinated this meeting. Because so far we have talked about a trilateral contact. If the two presidents are in the same place, they will at least greet each other, have a conversation sitting at the same table and talk to each other during protocol events. There are opportunities for communication; these important international summits offer great opportunities," Ushakov said in an interview with the Vesti news agency.
"Almost every day" Russia's "brutal attacks" in Ukraine "cause deaths and injuries", like those which occurred last night, in which four people were killed in the Dnipro region: the leader of Kiev, Volodymyr Zelensky, stated this this morning on X. "Another 22 people were injured, including an 11-year-old girl," adds the Ukrainian president. Zelensky also reports that in Vinnytsia, south-west of Kiev, a Russian drone hit a multi-storey residential building and six people were injured, while in Kharkiv "the Russians first hit a DIY and household goods hypermarket, and then cynically launched a double-tap attack against rescuers who arrived on site", with "some emergency services workers were injured". "A thermal power plant, electrical substations, coal mines, grain storage facilities, shopping centers and a postal logistics hub were also hit overnight. Damage was reported in nine regions," Zelensky added.
"The Ukrainian military violated Starlink's terms of service and used it for drone strikes to kill people. That gap was closed last week." Elon Musk said this on X, commenting on the restrictions on access to Starlink. Yesterday, Ukraine said the satellite system and its military version Starshield were fully operational after more than a week of restrictions. According to Mayor Igor Terekhov, a Russian drone attack last night 'caused one death and four injuries' in Kharkiv. In Belgorod, one dead and ten wounded during a Ukrainian attack during the night. US secret services warn: Iran would aim to kill US diplomats in the Middle East and other countries.
