Zelensky's Defiant Visit to Snake Island Marks 500th Day of Ukraine War

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Snake Island to mark 500 days of war, expressing gratitude to the island as a symbol of resistance against Russia's invasion. Meanwhile, President Biden defended the decision to supply Ukraine with cluster munitions, citing their need for ammunition to break through Russian defensive positions. The move has sparked concerns due to the weapons' ban in most countries and the potential for unexploded submunitions. In Russia, the Kremlin is working to discredit Wagner mercenary boss Yevgeniy Prigozhin while portraying President Putin as the savior who prevented civil war. Despite the propaganda, the Russian population appears to be in a state of shock and passivity.
