In a recent development, a US official has warned that Russia may launch another hypersonic ballistic missile in Ukraine in the coming days, but reassured that it is not a game-changer in the ongoing war. The Oreshnik missile, previously fired at the city of Dnipro by Russia, is considered experimental and not a significant threat on the battlefield.
On a related note, Russia expressed outrage over the US transfer of $20 billion to Ukraine, calling it “simply robbery” as the funds were backed by frozen Russian assets. The transfer was part of a $50 billion G7 loan for economic aid to Kyiv, prompting Russia to threaten potential retaliatory actions against Western assets on its territory.
Meanwhile, in eastern Ukraine, fierce battles continue as Russian forces make advances towards the strategic logistics hub of Pokrovsk. Ukrainians have shown high trust in President-elect Donald Trump, with over 70% supporting a “West German” model for Nato accession.
Despite devastating losses in the more than 1,000 days of war, Ukraine remains resilient in the face of Russia’s continued aggression. As the conflict rages on, the need for unbiased and independent reporting is crucial to understanding the complex realities on the ground. Your support for news outlets like The Independent ensures that the voices of those impacted by the war in Ukraine are heard and that accurate information is disseminated to the public.
