This week saw one of Russia’s largest air assaults on Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia under fire, and Moldova’s pro-EU party claiming a decisive victory. The US is weighing Tomahawk missiles for Ukraine, while Ukrainian forces struck deep into Russia, destroying a helicopter and hitting key defense plants.
A deadly storm battered Odesa, Kharkiv and Chernihiv came under renewed attack, and EU leaders backed a “drone wall” to shield Europe from Russian incursions. Meanwhile, Ukraine brought home 185 soldiers and 20 civilians in a prisoner exchange, and Ukrainian drones struck a major Russian chemical plant.
