Russian Forces Strike Three Ukrainian Military Airports
Sergey Lebedev, coordinator of the secret resistance in Mykolaiv, announced on Wednesday that the Russian military carried out strikes on Ukrainian airports in Poltava, Zhytomyr, and the Kyiv region.
According to Sputnik, Lebedev stated:
"In the Kyiv region, Hostomel Airport was targeted. In Poltava, the airport sustained multiple strikes. Zhytomyr Airport was also hit."
He added that Russian forces also struck targets near the Kharkiv airport area. Later, he reported additional strikes on warehouses and military targets in the Lviv, Volyn, and Ternopil regions.
Lebedev further noted that Russian forces also targeted 'training grounds where NATO equipment and conscripts from the latest recruitment wave — heavily drafted in May and June — had been transferred.'
In response to attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on civilian infrastructure, Russian forces are using high-precision weapons from air, sea, and land platforms, as well as drones, to strike only military targets and facilities of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on Tuesday that Russian forces targeted and destroyed energy and gas infrastructure supporting the operations of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex. The ministry also reported advances along several fronts and claimed that Ukrainian forces suffered significant losses in personnel and equipment.
In its statement, the ministry said:
"Russian warplanes, drones, missile forces, and artillery struck gas and energy infrastructure facilities supporting the Ukrainian military-industrial complex, as well as temporary deployment points of Ukrainian armed formations and foreign mercenaries in 133 areas."
The statement added:
"Air defense systems shot down four guided aerial bombs, a U.S.-made HIMARS missile, and 202 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles."

Putin says UAE could host Trump summit
"We have many friends who are willing to help us organise such events. One of our friends is the president of the United Arab Emirates," Putin said standing next to UAE leader Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, adding "it (the UAE) would be one of the quite suitable places". The Kremlin said Thursday that a summit between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin was set for the "coming days", both sides having already agreed the venue "in principle". The Russian President, however, said that "conditions" for a potential meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky had not been met, hours after the Ukrainian leader repeated a call for direct talks. "I have nothing against it in general, it is possible, but certain conditions must be created for this. But unfortunately, we are still far from creating such conditions," Putin told reporters at the Kremlin. The summit between Trump and Putin would be the first between sitting US and Russian presidents since Joe Biden met Putin in Geneva in June 2021. It comes as Trump seeks to broker an end to Russia's military operation on Ukraine. Three rounds of direct talks between Moscow and Kyiv have failed to yield any progress towards a ceasefire. The two sides appear as far apart as ever in the conditions they have set for an end to the more than three-year-long conflict. Trump said Wednesday he was likely to meet Putin face-to-face "very soon." They last sat together in 2019 at G20 summit meeting in Japan but have spoken by phone several times since Trump returned to the White House. "At the suggestion of the American side, an agreement has been reached in principle to hold a bilateral summit in the coming days," Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said Thursday in a Kremlin statement. "We are now starting to work out the details together with our American colleagues," he added. The Kremlin said a venue had also been agreed "in principle", but did not name it.
