Ukrainian forces fighting around Velyka Novosilka claim its Russian takeover will amount to nothing more than a flag-raising exercise

Ukraine has launched devastating strikes on critical Russian infrastructure in recent days, leaving many industrial plants on fire.

A nuclear power plant was among the targets of a massive Ukrainian drone attack against Russian oil and power facilities, Russian officials and media outlets reported on Wednesday.

Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy does not have the authority to sign documents following potential negotiations with Moscow, the Kremlin leader stated this in an interview with Russian propagandist Pavel Zarubin.
