Zelensky appeals to US-European allies to take tough decisions

Ahead of the NATO summit in Ankara, Zelensky posted on social media that the Ukrainian military had performed well against drones and cruise missiles, but not against Russian ballistic missiles.

Putin gives green signal to missile attack on Kiev

For the last few weeks, Ukraine has caused huge damage by carrying out drone attacks on several Russian oil refineries, oil terminals and military industrial complexes one after the other. To avenge this, Putin gave the green signal to a missile attack on Kiev. Kiev had seen fewer attacks in the last four years.

On Wednesday (July 1), Putin held a meeting of the Security Council. In this meeting, many top officials, including Putin, were seen sitting with files in a red folder. Although Russia did not make the details of the meeting public, it is believed that the Red File points towards attacks with strategic weapons.

After Putin’s meeting, attacks started in Kiev and other areas of Ukraine. Russia also attacked a Ukrainian drone manufacturing facility in Odessa province. Drone video of this attack has also been released by the Russian Defense Ministry. Apart from this, the Russian Army has started blowing up Ukraine’s Star Link terminals in the war zone with drone attacks.

After the attacks, Zelensky wrote on his X account that Russian President Putin does not want to end the war.

It has been more than four years, but the Russia-Ukraine war is not showing any sign of stopping. Russia has captured about 90 percent of the Donbass province of Ukraine. Last week, Zelensky, through Belarus President Lukashenko, proposed to Putin to limit the war to Donbass province. But Putin refused to accept this proposal. According to Putin, along with Donbass, the Russian army is also continuously advancing in Sumy and Kharkiv provinces of Ukraine.

US President Donald Trump had recently said that after the Iran war, Ukraine will be approached (for peace talks). But due to being busy in Iran deal, America is also avoiding getting involved in the Russia-Ukraine war.

One person has died in the Ukrainian attack while more than 15 people have been injured. Ukraine has attacked the storage tank of an oil refinery in the Kapotanya district of Moscow. The attack was so fierce that black smoke spread over Moscow and the entire area was surrounded by flames. In the video that surfaced, it can be seen that there was a massive explosion in the fuel storage tank, due to which its roof was blown into the air and caught fire. Due to the explosion, the round metal lid of the tank jumped high into the air and the entire place was surrounded by flames and thick black smoke.

An important meeting of Ukraine’s allies was held in Paris on Tuesday on the issue of how to ensure Ukraine’s security if there is a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia in the future. Many major decisions were expected to be taken in this meeting, but considering the current situation, the outcome of the talks is considered uncertain.
