Kyiv denies drone strike on Zaporizhzhia plant as IAEA seeks access

Russia's Rosatom says a Ukrainian drone struck the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant and damaged the turbine hall wall, while Kyiv denies involvement and says there was no active fighting at the site; the IAEA has been informed and has requested access to inspect the turbine building as the plant remains under Russian control. The report also mentions Ukrainian drone activity against oil facilities in Russia and Zelenskyy's comments on the broader war.

Ukraine’s drones strike Russian air defenses, marking 28th asset down in May

Ukraine’s drones strike Russian air defenses, marking 28th asset down in May

Over two nights, Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces hit Russian air-defense assets (including an ST-68 radar and a Pantsir-S1) and logistics targets across occupied Crimea and the Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Luhansk regions, alongside depots, fuel trains, and supply vehicles. Kyiv’s middle-strike campaign aims to degrade Russia’s rear logistics and radar coverage, with May’s tally of air-defense assets hit reaching 28 as the land corridor and other supply routes come under pressure. The operations were reported by SBS and the Ukrainian General Staff, with units such as the 1st Separate Center, the 414th Madyar’s Birds, the 20th K-2, the Phoenix unit, and the Nemesis brigade involved.

Ukraine hits three major Russian energy hubs overnight as drone strikes escalate

Ukraine says its overnight strikes hit three Russian energy facilities—the Tamanneftegaz oil terminal near Krasnodar, the Yaroslavl refinery, and the Astrakhan gas processing plant—over May 13, with video footage and NASA FIRMS confirming fires; the attacks occur as Russia launched a large daytime drone assault on Ukraine and Moscow restricted reporting on drone damage.

Fragile Ceasefire Persists Amid Mutual Accusations and Limited Front-Line Moves

Fragile Ceasefire Persists Amid Mutual Accusations and Limited Front-Line Moves

The May 9–11 ceasefire in Ukraine remains fragile as both sides accuse the other of violations while fighting persists at a limited tempo. Zelensky says Russia carried hundreds of ground assaults, artillery strikes, and thousands of drones from May 9–10, while Moscow claims Ukraine conducted its own extensive strikes; NASA FIRMS shows activity dipping but not stopping. Putin hints the war could end soon with no concrete plan, and Zelensky rejects Russian claims about POW-exchange sabotage, noting lists for 1,000 POWs exist with the United States as guarantor. On the battlefield, Ukrainian forces have advanced in Borova, Slovyansk, and western Zaporizhzhia, while Russia maintains limited offensives and shifts emphasis toward Orikhiv. Russia continues long-range drone activity and infiltration tactics, and its information warfare apparatus—using AI-generated footage and clampdowns on pro-war voices—intensifies to shape the narrative.

Iran War-Linked Oil Windsfall: Zelenskyy Claims Russia Made $10B in 2 Weeks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukrainian intelligence estimates Russia earned about $10 billion in two weeks of the US-Israel war with Iran, roughly 10% of its 2026 oil deficit. He warns that the Trump administration’s temporary easing of sanctions on Russian oil for about four weeks could aid Putin, as oil prices rise and Tehran’s actions threaten the Strait of Hormuz. The report underscores Russia’s reliance on energy revenue amid sanctions.

Russia warns of 'new level' of destruction after Storm Shadow strike as Ukraine widens attacks

Russia blames the UK for a Storm Shadow strike on a Bryansk military microelectronics plant and warns of a ‘fundamentally new level’ of destruction, while Kyiv says the facility was hit; Ukraine conducted overnight strikes on Russian depots, air defenses, and other targets in occupied areas; Sochi endured a mass Ukrainian drone campaign for about a day; Moscow accuses Kyiv of targeting Black Sea gas-pipeline facilities and saboteurs near TurkStream/Blue Stream, as Gazprom sites come under attack; Russia says it downed 185 Ukrainian drones overnight, and the US issued a 30‑day waiver allowing India to keep buying Russian oil to maintain flows.

Russia repels record Ukrainian drone wave as peace talks loom in Switzerland

Russia's Defense Ministry says its air defenses shot down more than 150 Ukrainian drones overnight—the largest wave this year—broken down as 79 over the Black Sea/Sea of Azov, 38 over Crimea, and 18 over the Krasnodar region. A 9-year-old was injured in Sevastopol; the Ilsky Oil Refinery in Krasnodar caught fire. About a dozen airports reported temporary flight restrictions as 27 more drones were downed on Tuesday morning, ahead of a fresh round of peace talks in Switzerland between Russia and Ukraine.

Bryansk bears the brunt of a 'strongest' strike as missiles shrink Kyiv’s flight time

Ukraine says Bryansk region endured its most powerful and widespread attack yet, with ballistic missiles and drones launched toward Kyiv and aimed at crippling energy facilities; authorities report hundreds of unmanned aircraft shot down (about 229) and note Russia’s air defenses are stretched along the border, making Kyiv’s flight times a matter of minutes. Kyiv and analysts say such strikes serve to deter Ukraine, while Zelenskyy warns Moscow could mount a new large-scale assault as tensions rise.

Drone strike ignites fires at Russian Black Sea port ahead of renewed peace talks

A Ukrainian drone strike hit Russia’s Black Sea port of Taman, starting fires and damaging an oil storage tank, warehouse and terminals and wounding two people, while debris from Russian drones damaged civilian infrastructure in Ukraine’s Odesa region, disrupting power and water supplies, ahead of a new round of US-brokered talks in Geneva; Kyiv said it expects European energy and military aid by February 24 as diplomacy continues, and Western officials warned Moscow still seeks concessions. At Munich, European leaders urged that any lasting peace require security guarantees and cautioned that lifting sanctions could enable Russia to re-arm; Slovakia’s Fico accused Kyiv of delaying a pipeline restart to pressure Hungary over EU membership, while Russia’s army chief claimed gains near eastern villages, though these claims could not be independently verified.

Peace Talks in the Balance: Territorial Concessions Meet Western Guarantees in Ukraine War

ISW warns that Western reporting suggests the United States may have accepted a Russia-driven sequence in peace talks that would see Ukraine cede territory (notably parts of Donetsk) before any formal Western security guarantees, a framework Kyiv has signaled it could accept only with meaningful protections—a setup that risks leaving Ukraine exposed to renewed Russian aggression. Moscow remains unreconciled on guarantees and seeks further territorial gains, complicating a durable peace. Western aid to Ukraine continues, Russia’s economy appears strained, and fighting persists across multiple fronts with ongoing drone/missile campaigns and strikes on energy and rear infrastructure.
