Russia accused Ukraine on Wednesday of attacking the Kremlin with drones overnight in an attempt to kill President Vladimir Putin - the most serious allegation that Moscow has levelled at Kyiv in more than 14 months of war.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy promptly denied any Ukrainian involvement, telling a press conference in Helsinki: “We don’t attack Putin, or Moscow, we fight on our territory.”
A massive fire erupted at an oil depot in Crimea after it was hit by two of Ukraine’s drones, a Russia-appointed official there reported Saturday, the latest in a series of attacks on the annexed peninsula as Russia braces for an expected Ukrainian counteroffensive.
Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Moscow-installed governor of the Black Sea peninsula’s port city of Sevastopol, posted videos and photos of the blaze on his Telegram channel.
A recent fight between Russian army soldiers and mercenaries from the Wagner Group reportedly escalated into a shootout in Stanytsia Luhanska, located in the Russian-controlled Luhansk Oblast of Eastern Ukraine, according to claims made by the Ukrainian General Staff.
The daily evening briefing stated that casualties were reported on both sides during the clash, as per a report from Sky News.
