Ukraine's military reported intense fighting in Chasiv Yar and successful resistance against Russian air and infantry attacks despite the challenging situation. Civilian casualties include three deaths in Huliaipole and one woman killed in a Russian assault in Kupiansk in the Kharkiv region, further escalating the humanitarian crisis.
The conflict extended into Russia as shrapnel from a downed Ukrainian drone caused a civilian casualty in Belgorod. Russia's claim of a drone attack on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power facility was denied by Ukraine, reflecting the heightened tensions and blame game between the two nations.
President Zelenskyy warned of dire consequences if the US Congress did not approve a military aid package, emphasizing the risk of broader attacks by Russia if Ukraine were to lose. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov's upcoming visit to Beijing to discuss the crisis underlines the international ramifications of the conflict.
