Ukrainian troops received a visit from President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday in the area of Vovtchansk, a city in the Kharkiv region targeted since May 10 by a Russian offensive. The head of state presented official decorations to special forces fighters, expressing gratitude for their bravery in operations behind enemy lines.
The war in Ukraine has extended for almost 900 days, resulting in staggering losses on both sides. While Kyiv claims significantly higher Russian casualties, Moscow maintains that its losses are lower compared to Ukrainian forces. Recent estimates suggest Russian losses may exceed half a million, while Ukraine cites around 31,000 soldiers killed.
As the conflict escalates, Ukrainian forces reportedly lost control of a new town in the east but managed to strike a Russian bomber at a military airport deep within Russia. The ongoing Russian offensive has led to civilian casualties, with recent bombings resulting in the death of a child and injuries to others.
In response to the increasing effectiveness of Ukrainian drones, Russia is developing a new system called 'Cobra' to locate drone pilots. This system aims to enhance Russia's counter-drone capabilities, as both nations heavily rely on drone technology in the ongoing conflict.
