Russia: Medvedev declares no talks with Ukraine after Kursk attack

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has stated that there will be no negotiations with Ukraine until the country is completely defeated, citing the lack of tangible results from previous peace talks. This comes after the Ukrainian armed forces launched an attack on a missile system in the Russian region of Rostov, which had been used for attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.

The accuracy of the strike is currently being evaluated. Medvedev's comments highlight the Kremlin's hardline stance towards Ukraine and their rejection of peace talks mediated by other nations.

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has seen a surge in drone attacks, with Ukraine launching one of the largest ever drone attacks on Moscow. Russia claims to have destroyed 45 Ukrainian drones, including 11 over the capital.

Despite the Ukrainian offensive in Kursk, Russia has managed to maintain control over the logistics hub of Niu-York in eastern Ukraine. However, the situation remains tense as both sides continue to engage in military operations and make gains on the ground.

Ukraine: Kyiv Speaks of Fierce Russian Attacks on the Eastern ... Eastern Front

The Ukrainian armed forces have announced multiple Russian attacks on the fronts of Toretsk and Pokrovsk. Moscow claimed to have captured the community of New York, but this is yet to be verified. Ukrainian forces successfully repelled 49 attacks on the front in Pokrovsk. In Zaporizhia, a Russian shell hit a kiosk near a playground, resulting in one death and four injuries. Russian troops have occupied parts of the Zaporizhia region since the start of the invasion. In response, Ukraine launched drone and missile attacks on Moscow, Bryansk, Tula, and Rostov regions. Air defenses intercepted and destroyed several drones, and there were no reported casualties or damage. Ukraine's goal with these attacks is to destroy infrastructure crucial for Russia's war efforts. The situation in Pokrovsk is particularly tense, with reports of Russian forces advancing towards the city. Ukraine's campaign of drone attacks on Russia continues, targeting key infrastructure.

Ukraine Advances in Kursk, Putting Pressure on Russia

The Ukrainian offensive in Kursk is putting pressure on the Russian troops stationed there. Units south of the Sejm River are threatened with encirclement after several bridges were blown up. Russia is trying to build makeshift bridges, but is being prevented from doing so by Ukrainian drones that are destroying Russian military vehicles. President Putin visited a special forces training center in Chechnya, where Russian soldiers are now being trained for the war. President Zelenskyy praises the progress and emphasizes the priority of capturing Russian soldiers. The Ukrainian offensive in Kursk aims to isolate the western part of the region by destroying bridges over the Sejm River, which the Russian army relies on. Russia has reported downing at least ten Ukrainian drones heading towards Moscow. The Pentagon attests to Russia's difficulties in responding to the Kursk offensive. The Russian secret service suspects Western involvement in the Ukrainian offensive. Russia is considering building a second bridge to the Crimea as a precaution against further bridge destruction by Ukraine. The offensive in Kursk is testing Putin's response time and could strain the patience of his backers. Moscow has recently been targeted by a significant drone attack from Ukraine, but all drones were destroyed by Russian air defenses.
