As the war continues into its 898th day, the latest developments paint a grim picture of the ongoing conflict.
On Sunday, August 11, 2024, explosions rocked the streets of Kyiv as Russian missiles targeted the city. Tragically, a father and his young son lost their lives in the overnight attack, with several others sustaining serious injuries.
In response, Moscow claimed to have destroyed 14 Ukrainian-launched drones and four missiles in the Kursk region where Ukrainian troops are making strategic moves. As the violence escalates, over 76,000 individuals have been evacuated from the border areas, seeking safety from the ensuing chaos.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy revealed the country’s offensive actions in Kursk, signaling a shift in tactics. Additionally, tensions are rising as Ukraine takes steps to potentially ban the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, a move that could sever ties with Moscow.
Neighboring Belarus has also bolstered its defenses along the border, following alleged airspace violations by Ukrainian drones during the incursion into Kursk. The situation remains volatile as political tensions intertwine with military actions, creating a complex and dangerous landscape.
