As the 937th day of the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia unfolds, the situation remains tense and violent. On September 19, 2024, at least one person was killed in a Russian attack on the city of Kropyvnytskyi, with a 90-year-old woman injured. The Ukrainian air force claimed to have shot down 46 of 52 drones launched by Russia, while Russia’s counteroffensive in the Kursk region was reported to have been “stopped”.
In retaliation, Ukraine struck an arms depot in Russia’s Tver region, causing a massive fire and prompting the evacuation of a nearby town. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced plans to discuss a “victory plan” with US President Joe Biden during his upcoming visit to the US.
On the diplomatic front, Zelenskyy is set to address the United Nations Security Council, while NATO countries on the eastern flank called for a united response to Russian airspace violations. In a separate development, a Russian Major General was detained on suspicions of bribery, highlighting alleged corruption in the Russian defense sector.
The US government expressed interest in understanding how Ukraine plans to use Western-supplied long-range weapons in its strategy against Russia. As the conflict continues to unfold, tensions remain high and the international community closely watches the developments in this prolonged and devastating war.
