US officials have become gloomy about Ukraine’s counteroffensive strategy, weeks before the Biden administration will need to secure Congressional approval for more funding, the Financial Times reported. The report echoed an assessment last week from the Washington Post, citing intelligence sources who weren’t identified. Ukraine’s foreign minister pushed back in an interview with Germany’s Bild am Sonntag, urging patience and repeating a call for more weapons help from allies. “Our success will
reward the optimists and ruin the reputation of the doubters,” Dmytro Kuleba said. “What we need, however, is more long-term capabilities to achieve more short-term results.” President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is expected to have new talks with allies on weapons systems, including fighter jets, after visiting Sweden on Saturday.
Russia repelled a drone south of Moscow early Sunday, the defense ministry said. Two of the city’s four airports were closed briefly. A drone strike on the main railway station in Kursk in southern Russia, less than 100 miles from the Ukrainian border, damaged buildings and infrastructure. “The range of threats penetrating well inside Russia has increased,” the UK defense ministry said in an update, adding that its military is likely “under intense pressure” to improve air defenses.
Over 60 buildings were damaged by Saturday’s Russian strike on Chernihiv in northern Ukraine, local officials said. Seven people were killed, including a six-year-old girl, and more than 100 injured when a suspected ballistic missile slammed into a theater there. More then 100 Ukrainian settlements in nine regions - mostly near the front line and Ukraine-Russia border - were hit by artillery and mortar weapons overnight, the Ukrainian General Staff said on Facebook.
