Russia's War against Ukraine. Day 1454
Ukrainian border guards release a video showing a drone attack on Russian soldiers, while a Ukrainian delegation heads to Geneva for peace talks with Russian and American representatives.
On the 1454th day of the war between Russia and Ukraine, the Ukrainian border guards published a video capturing a drone strike on Russian troops riding motorcycles. This footage, which highlights the ongoing military confrontations, comes from the Kharkiv region, showcasing Ukraine's continued efforts to monitor and retaliate against Russian forces. Such actions underline the complexities of warfare, where technology plays a crucial role in contemporary military strategies.
Moreover, a Ukrainian delegation has embarked on a journey to Geneva to engage in peace talks with representatives from Russia and the United States. Kyrylo Budanow, the chief of the office of President Volodymyr Zelensky, announced the upcoming negotiations, indicating that they will occur from February 17 to February 18. This trip follows previous rounds of trilateral discussions held in Abu Dhabi, reflecting Ukraineβs persistent efforts to safeguard its interests amid ongoing hostilities.
In the occupied territories, the situation remains dire, with reports suggesting that Russian forces are compelling residents in the Lugansk region to allocate a significant portion of their fuel supplies to support the army. The governor of Lugansk, Oleksiy Harchenko, communicated these developments via Telegram, emphasizing the adverse impact on local farmers who are being forced to divert up to 30% of their fuel stocks. This coercion highlights the stress and challenges faced by civilians in conflict zones, as the military operations continue to exert pressure on their day-to-day lives.
