Trump Criticizes Russia Amid Intensified Attacks on Ukraine
Ukrainian President Confirms Military Presence in Belgorod Amid Ongoing Conflict and Diplomatic Efforts
US President Donald Trump criticized Russia during a recent White House press briefing, denouncing the nation for its intensified bombardments of Ukraine.
Trump's remarks came as he described recent attacks over the past week as 'terrible,' expressing his desire to end the conflict that has persisted for more than three years.
He addressed questions regarding the implications of US tariffs on Russia, reiterating his concerns about the ongoing situation.
In the context of escalating military activity, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the involvement of Ukrainian forces in operations within the Russian region of Belgorod.
During an evening address, he revealed that Ukraine's military leadership reported active troop presence in both the Kursk and Belgorod regions.
Zelensky emphasized the importance of pushing military operations back to originate from within Russia, while asserting that the fundamental objective remains the protection of Ukrainian territories, particularly in the Sumy and Kharkiv areas, from Russian occupation.
Additionally, Russia's ambassador to Germany, Sergej J. Netschajew, issued threats in an interview, reflecting the growing tensions between Moscow and Berlin.
Meanwhile, the European satellite communications provider Eutelsat is reportedly assisting in secure communications within Ukraine, although its CEO recognized a competitive challenge posed by Elon Musk's Starlink.
Frontline positions in Ukraine have largely remained static, with British intelligence indicating a slowdown in Russian advances.
In parallel diplomatic developments, a Ukrainian delegation is set to visit the United States early next week to discuss a proposed resource extraction agreement, which was suggested by Trump.
The arrangement is projected to entail revenue sharing from the extraction of oil and gas resources, organized through a joint fund overseen by a five-member board, with three members appointed by the United States, thus affording US veto authority over significant decisions.
In recent military actions, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that their air defense systems intercepted 19 Ukrainian drones in a single night.
Thirteen drones were reportedly destroyed over the Sea of Azov, while others were intercepted over the Krasnodar and Bryansk regions, as well as in Crimea.
Local officials in Krasnodar indicated that one of the drones caused damage to railway connections.
