Russia warns of use of nuclear arsenal to defend Kaliningrad, as child dies under rubble in Vyshhorod after Russian attack

Russia writes to the Alliance to denounce the exercises aimed at simulating the 'isolation' of Kaliningrad, warning that it is ready to use the 'entire arsenal' to defend its exclave, including nuclear weapons. NATO confirms that it has received the letter and that it has responded by in turn denouncing 'threats' to use force from Moscow. Lavrov accuses Europe: 'It is waging a war against us'. Meanwhile, a Russian Tu-95 strategic bomber crashed during a training flight in the far east of the country, causing the death of 6 crew members.

A child was found dead under the rubble of a destroyed house in Vyshhorod, Kiev region, after a new attack with missiles and drones.

Missile warnings cost Ukraine approximately $45 million for each hour of disruption to economic activity. This was stated - as reported by The Guardian - by Oleksandr Kravchenko, Ukrainian minister of economy and environment, according to whom the intensification of Russian attacks on the infrastructure underlying the Ukrainian economy, hitting industrial sites, warehouses, logistics centers and data centers are an attempt to "practically destroy the entire economy". “What we didn't fully foresee,” he added, “was how quickly Russia would develop these jet-powered drones and use them to hit anything.”

Russian attacks on Kiev overnight caused the death of a child and a woman and the wounding of four other people, the local military administration announced on Wednesday. During the night, AFP journalists had heard about ten explosions in the Ukrainian capital, an almost daily target of attacks by Moscow. Last night, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said that a rare meeting between the German and Russian foreign ministers on Saturday on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York showed that Russia was "not at all interested in serious negotiations" over Ukraine, more than four and a half years after the Russian offensive began.
