Attempted Attack on Zelensky, Putin’s Visit to India, and Scandal in Turkey: Key Political Events of the Day


A roundup of political events: the drone incident near Zelensky’s flight, Putin’s visit to India, tensions between Ukraine and Turkey, the attack on Ukrainian children in Poland, and news about Kvartal 95.

Several major political events unfolded today. According to The Journal, President Volodymyr Zelensky's plane was threatened by unidentified military drones near Dublin Airport. Due to an early landing, the plane avoided interception. Irish authorities classified the incident as a hybrid attack and are investigating further.

Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited India for the first time in four years, aiming to strengthen political and economic ties and influence India's stance on the war in Ukraine. Putin reiterated accusations against the West for fueling the conflict and voiced Russia’s desire to end the war, while the Ukrainian side insists that Russian military withdrawal is the only path to peace.

A diplomatic scandal also erupted in Turkey following attacks on a so-called "shadow fleet" vessel. Both Ukrainian and Russian ambassadors were summoned to the Turkish foreign ministry. Ukraine maintains that all shadow trade must cease.

Additionally, an unpleasant incident occurred in Gdansk, Poland, where Ukrainian schoolchildren were attacked for ethnic reasons. The Ukrainian consul called for a fair investigation and punishment for those responsible.

On the domestic front, the comedy studio Kvartal 95 has created a new company, with reports confirming that Myndich is no longer among the owners, and all issues have been resolved. Authorities assert that the fight against corruption will continue and all perpetrators will be brought to justice.

Ukraine continues to face challenges concerning the safety of its leaders, international pressures, the protection of Ukrainians abroad, and the ongoing struggle for identity.
