Zelenskyy Focuses on New Ukrainian Missile

As the Russian offensive in Kursk intensifies, Ukrainian forces expand their control in the region. Russian attacks in the Donetsk region continue unabated, putting pressure on the Ukrainian army.

The city of Pokrowsk is a crucial target for Russia, as its capture would give them strategic advantage. President Zelenskyy describes the situation in the area as 'extremely difficult'.

The resistance of Ukrainian units is vital, but the pressure in the Donetsk region shows no sign of easing. The capture of Russian soldiers, including young and inexperienced recruits, in the Kursk region is seen as a vulnerability for Putin.

The ongoing conflict also poses a grave threat to the Kursk nuclear power plant. Ukrainian forces face devastating Russian glide bombs in the town of Toretsk, causing near-total destruction.

The possibility of a nuclear disaster looms large due to the proximity of the conflict to the power plant. The NATO-Ukraine Council assures Ukraine of additional military assistance, including the deployment of F-16 jets.

The council also discusses the need to lift restrictions on the use of weapons and the right to self-defense within Russia.
