Ukraine War: Recent Developments and Calls for Long-Range Weapons

Recent drone and missile attacks have intensified the Ukraine-Russia conflict. Ukrainian President Zelensky has called for the acquisition of long-range weapons to counter the 'terror' faced by Ukraine.

While air defenses have successfully intercepted most attacks, Kyiv and Sumy have been hit by Russian strikes. The use of weapons by Ukraine has sparked differing opinions among NATO members.

Russia has tested new tactics and routes in its attacks on Kyiv, resulting in minimal damage. In a separate incident, an unknown drone with a 4-meter wingspan, rectangular body, and propeller propulsion attacked Kyiv, indicating the possibility of a kamikaze drone.

In the ongoing conflict, Russia has made advances, including the capture of Krasnohoriwka in the Donetsk region. Controlling the entire Donetsk region is a strategic goal for Russia, as it can serve as a supply and training base.

The fighting continues in Luhansk and Kharkiv, while Ukraine faces personnel shortages and ammunition scarcity.
