Putin said he sees “no point” in meeting Zelenskyy for now, rejecting Ukraine’s call for direct talks and a ceasefire. Zelenskyy said Russia was “choosing war again” as attacks continued across Ukraine and the Sea of Azov.
Seven people were killed and 11 injured when a drone hit a bus travelling through Russian-controlled Donetsk, the region’s Kremlin-installed leader said. The strike came during a broad exchange of drone and missile attacks involving Russia, Ukraine and Russian-held territory.
On Friday, Russia launched a massive aerial attack against Ukraine, killing at least 22 civilians and damaging schools, hospitals, and homes. Ukraine's air force intercepted most of the missiles and drones, but the attack still caused significant destruction. The international community has condemned the attack and the UN Security Council is expected to meet soon to discuss the situation.
This article reports on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip, as well as recent clashes between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Six youths were killed in an Israeli strike on the Nour Shams refugee camp, while residents of other refugee camps reported heavy bombing overnight. The Israeli military said it had achieved "direct hits" on a tent belonging to a special force, while Hezbollah targeted a new Israeli command position. The conflict has caused immense suffering for civilians in the region, with calls to end the war going unanswered.
The United Nations Security Council voted to speed up the delivery of aid to Palestinian civilians in Gaza and demand the release of all hostages held by Hamas. Hossam Badran of Hamas Political Bureau said the Israelis have not made any real offers to free the hostages. The resolution does not specify how the aid should be delivered, and does not address the underlying issues of the conflict, but it is a reminder that the international community is committed to finding a peaceful resolution.
Hamas, the Palestinian governing body in the Gaza Strip, has declared that there will be no more negotiations over prisoner exchange deals until Israel halts its aggression. This decision has been agreed upon by the Palestinian leadership and has been met with calls for de-escalation from the international community. The announcement makes it difficult to secure the release of hostages, and it is unclear when or if a resolution will be reached.
Two Palestinian Islamic Jihad hostages were recently featured in a video pleading for their release, while NetBlocks reported a blackout of internet and cellphone service in parts of the southern Gaza Strip. This follows a video released by Hamas yesterday of three elderly male Israeli hostages, as the hostage situation between the two groups continues to be a complex issue.
