Ukraine has announced a 'mirror truce' in response to multiple violations by Russia. According to Ukrainian officials, the past day saw 10 assaults and more than 850 drone strikes, including FPV and Lancet drones, targeting Ukrainian territory. In retaliation, Ukraine launched strikes across various regions of Russia, causing the closure of 13 airports and significant flight delays.
Meanwhile, the European Union has stated its intention to re-engage in peace talks on the conflict, but Russia insists it will only participate if Ukrainian troops withdraw from the Donbas. The Kremlin has also revoked the accreditation of foreign journalists for the Moscow parade, an unprecedented move.
Following Russia's disruption of peace talks and increased attacks, Ukraine is intensifying its military and diplomatic efforts while the EU seeks to promote a peaceful resolution. Another noteworthy event occurred at the Venice Biennale, where an art installation symbolized Ukraine's demands for true security guarantees.
Additionally, the situation in Belarus is complicated by wildfires and smoke drifting into Belarusian territory, as well as sabotage activities and drone attacks in the region.
Ukrainian authorities call for continued support of troops rescuing the wounded, emphasizing the need for national unity during this critical period.
