Russia strikes Kyiv with ballistic missiles; drones hit tankers in Black Sea; Fedorov leaves Defense Ministry; Greece blocks EU sanctions
Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on Ukraine, again shelling Kyiv, and drones struck two Russian shadow fleet tankers in the Black Sea. Mykhailo Fedorov confirmed his departure from the Defense Ministry, while Greece blocked the 21st EU sanctions package over its billionaire.
Russian forces launched a new attack on Ukraine on Wednesday, using ballistic missiles. Kyiv came under fire again, with initial reports indicating casualties. The exact number of dead and wounded is still being determined.
Meanwhile, unmanned aerial vehicles attacked two tankers from Russia's shadow fleet in the Black Sea. These vessels are believed to be used to circumvent international sanctions on Russian oil exports.
Mykhailo Fedorov, who held a position in Ukraine's Ministry of Defense, confirmed he is leaving the post. This change could affect the future direction of Ukraine's defense policy.
On the international front, Greece has blocked the 21st package of European Union sanctions against Russia. The reason is a Greek billionaire whose interests may be affected. This move delays EU efforts to increase pressure on Russia.
