"Russia's Attack on Odesa Cathedral Raises Questions and Concerns"

Russia launched an attack on the Ukrainian port city of Odesa, damaging a historic Orthodox cathedral and killing two people. The strike drew condemnation from UNESCO and Ukraine's President Zelensky, who vowed retaliation. Russia claimed the cathedral damage was caused by Ukrainian air defense and accused the sites of being used for "terrorist acts" against Russia. Meanwhile, President Putin dismissed Ukraine's counteroffensive and met with Belarusian leader Lukashenko, who now hosts Russian Wagner fighters on Belarusian territory. The meeting between Putin and Lukashenko also involved accusations against Poland, with both leaders accusing Warsaw of territorial ambitions on Ukraine and Belarus.
