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.
