"Day 397: A Timeline of Key Events in the Russia-Ukraine War"

Ukraine has called for an extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council to prevent Russia's use of nuclear weapons after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons to ally Belarus. NATO, the European Union, Germany, and Lithuania have condemned the move, while the United States reacted cautiously. Fighting is still ongoing in the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, but Kyiv's top soldier said the situation in the area was stabilising. Kyiv's central bank governor said the city will no longer resort to "dangerous" monetary financing to fund the war against Russia.
