An independent Russian news outlet, Radio Svoboda, revealed satellite images suggesting that Ukraine’s drone strike on a Russian ammunition depot did not destroy the facility as initially believed. The images showed damage from a blaze outside the storage area, with the arsenal remaining intact. The Ukrainian General Staff confirmed the successful strike, involving drones targeting a facility in the Volgograd region, where Iranian missiles were reportedly present.
Meanwhile, Russia claimed Ukrainian drones attacked multiple regions, including Yeysk, Rostov, and Voronezh, causing explosions near military bases. The ongoing conflict garnered attention from U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, who advocated for negotiations and concessions in resolving the war. Former President Donald Trump echoed similar sentiments during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, emphasizing the need for Ukraine to have leverage in negotiations.
Furthermore, Ukrainian officials view Zelensky’s recent visit to the U.S. positively, with the President’s Office stating that support for Ukraine remains strong. Plans for Zelensky’s Victory Plan are in progress, with discussions on next steps underway following a successful reception in the U.S.
