Russia has claimed debris from US-made Atacms missile landed in Bryansk region

 

Russia has claimed that debris from a US-made Atacms missile has landed in the Bryansk region.

 

Russia’s state-owned news agency Tass, citing Russia’s ministry of defence, has reported that the debris fell on a military facility in the Bryansk region. It said there was a small fire.

 

The ministry said it had shot down five of the missiles over the Bryansk region. The attack resulted in no casualties or damage, it said.

 

The claims have not been independently verified. Ukraine has not commented on the Russian reports, and there has been no confirmation from US or other allied powers

 

The Joe Biden administration had given Ukraine long sought after permission to use the longer-range missiles at targets in the neighbouring Kursk region, where Ukrainian forces have staged an incursion and where Russia has deployed allied North Korean troops.

 

Overnight Ukrainian forces claimed to have successfully targeted a Russian logistics centre near the city of Karachev in Russia’s Bryansk region, causing multiple explosions.

Zelenskyy: 'We will not trade our sovereignty, security or the future of Ukraine'

 

As well as speaking to the European parliament to mark 1,000 days since Russia invaded Ukraine, president Volodymyr Zelenskyy also addressed Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada on Tuesday.

 

Reuters is carrying these quotes from the speech, where Zelenskyy told the Ukrainian people that “In the decisive moments - and they will come next year - we should not allow anyone in the world to doubt Ukraine’s resilience.”

 

He continued:

 

At this stage of the war, it is being decided who will prevail. Whether us over the enemy, or the enemy over us Ukrainians … and Europeans. And everyone in the world who wants to live freely and not be subject to a dictator.

 

We have achieved the highest level of closeness with the EU and Nato since our independence. All necessary architecture for the negotiation process with the EU has been formed. Ukraine’s right to Nato membership is vitally important for all of us.

 

Recently mooted peace proposals, including one by Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, have suggested that Ukraine make concessions on territory or that the frontline of the conflict could be frozen as is. Zelenskyy rejected this kind of talk, telling Ukraine’s parliament:

 

We will not trade our sovereignty, security or the future of Ukraine. We will not give up Ukraine’s rights to its territory. And we will not abandon a rational approach to guarantee the rights of our state. We should act wisely. Maybe Ukraine will have to outlive someone in Moscow in order to achieve all its goals.
