"Day 398: Russia-Ukraine Conflict Continues with Key Events"

As the Russia-Ukraine war enters its 398th day, Russian President Vladimir Putin says Western criticism will not influence Russia’s plans to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in neighbouring Belarus. The Ukrainian governor of Donetsk claims at least two people were killed and 29 injured, including a child, after a Russian attack on the city of Sloviansk. Germany has delivered 18 advanced Leopard battle tanks, 40 German Marder infantry fighting vehicles, and two armoured recovery vehicles to Ukraine.
