Russia has intensified its air campaign against Ukraine, launching massive drone strikes in eastern regions, according to recent reports. The attacks have prompted Poland to activate its ground-based air defenses for the third time in two days, highlighting the escalating conflict. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the United Nations General Assembly, raising concerns about the use of foreign nationals, including citizens of India and 46 other countries, in Russia’s war efforts.
Zelenskyy called on their home countries to protect their citizens from being exploited by Russia. His remarks come amid renewed international scrutiny of Russia’s actions, including allegations of systematic deportation and militarization of Ukrainian children. In Kyiv, two civilians were killed in a Russian missile attack, underscoring the ongoing violence.
The United States has formally invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit in Miami, though the European Union maintains its stance of condemning Russia’s war on Ukraine. Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also criticized the ongoing attacks on Black Sea vessels, urging both sides to halt hostilities.
As the conflict continues, the international community remains divided on how to respond to Russia’s escalating military actions.
