More than two years of war in Ukraine

Russia fights in Kharkiv

The White House’s national security adviser said the Russian military offensive around Kharkiv has “ceased,” which he sees as a result of Washington giving Ukrainians the green light to strike in Russia on the other side of the border.

“From the president’s (Joe Biden) point of view, it’s just common sense. What’s going on around Kharkiv, what’s new in recent months is a Russian offensive that they’re going from one side of the border to the other, and that’s created. There’s no point in the Ukrainians striking across that border,” Jack said. “This (Russian) attack on Kharkiv has stopped,” Sullivan told CBS. […] The Russians have gained no ground in recent days in this region.

The upcoming Russian-Turkish meeting

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is visiting Russia on Monday and Tuesday. He will meet his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, and attend the BRICS meeting, his ministry announced on Sunday. This includes recent developments in Ukraine and Gaza, but also in Syria, Libya and the South Caucasus.

Ankara, which has been careful to maintain relations with both Kyiv and Moscow since the start of the war in Ukraine, has on several occasions offered its good offices for a negotiated exit from the conflict between the two countries.

kyiv claims shot down Russian SU-57 aircraft

Ukraine announced Sunday that it had shot down a Su-57 fighter jet parked at an airfield in southern Russia, its first strike against this latest generation of Russian stealth aircraft.

The Sukhoi Su-57 has been used by the Russian Air Force since the end of 2020, replacing older Soviet fighters of the Su-27 or MiG-29 type. On Saturday, a “Su-57 multirole fighter plane of the occupation state was attacked” at the Aktubinsk airfield in Russia’s Astrakhan region, nearly 600 km from the Russian-Ukrainian border, the service of Ukraine’s military intelligence GUR reported. This neutralization of the Su-57 is “a first in history,” he added.

Ukraine’s intelligence agency released satellite images before and after the attack, showing fire damage and debris surrounding the Su-57 aircraft parked at the airfield. He did not specify how the attack was carried out and did not directly claim responsibility.

Emmanuel Macron and Joe Biden spoke to the press after a working meeting at the Élysée this Saturday. Both worked to clear up misunderstandings on the core issue of the war in Ukraine. US President Vladimir Putin reiterated his unwavering support for the European Union in the face of ambitions.
