Trump says that the United States ‘will take a pass’ in the peace efforts of Ukraine if Russia refuses to play ball
“At 17:15, Russian attack drones were detected in our heavens. Ukrainian air defense and aviation have already committed to protect us. Shahed drones in our skies reveal the true attitude of Putin Townd Easter and towards human life.”
Zenskyy wrote that the Ukrainian forces were fighting in the Kursk region and occupying their positions.
“In the Belgorod region, our warriors have advanced and expand our control zone,” he wrote.
