Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events – day 1,086
Fighting
Russia's Defence Ministry announced that its forces have captured Ukraine's Vodyane Druhe settlement in the Donetsk region.
Moscow claimed it launched a coordinated overnight attack on Ukraine's military airfields, ports and workshops for drone production, as well as fuel and lubricant storage sites.
Ukraine launched a huge wave of drones as well as missiles, Russia said, with 202 unmanned aerial vehicles shot down, along with three French-made Hammer guided bombs and United States-made HIMARS rockets.
Ukraine's Security Service said the attack targeted Russia's Andreapol oil pumping station, causing an oil leak and subsequent fire, the Reuters news agency reports.
Russia launched 140 drones in an overnight attack, the DPA news agency reports, with Ukrainian forces reportedly destroying 85 and more than 50 being lost before reaching a target. Damage and injuries were reported in Ukraine's Kharkiv and Odesa regions.
Ukrainian military commander Oleksandr Syrskii said his troops hold about 500 square kilometres (193 square miles) of Russia's western Kursk region. The figure is about 800sq km (309sq miles) less than what Kyiv's forces controlled in September.
A Russian attack on the town of Kramatorsk in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region killed a 46-year-old man and wounded five others, including a 16-year-old girl. A separate attack in the southern region of Kherson reportedly killed two more, aged 58 and 62.

US sanctions Brazil health officials over Cuba's overseas medical missions
The United States has announced it is revoking the visas of Brazilian, African and Caribbean officials over their ties to Cuba's programme that sends doctors abroad, which Washington has described as 'forced labour'. The US named two Brazilian Ministry of Health officials, Mozart Julio Tabosa Sales and Alberto Kleiman, who have had their visas revoked for working on Brazil's Mais Medicos, or 'More Doctors' programme, which was created in 2013. In a statement on Wednesday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said sanctions were imposed on officials 'involved in abetting the Cuban regime's coercive labour export scheme', which he claimed 'enriches the corrupt Cuban regime and deprives the Cuban people of essential medical care'. 'The Department of State took steps to revoke visas and impose visa restrictions on several Brazilian government officials, former Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) officials, and their family members for their complicity with the Cuban regime's labour export scheme in the Mais Medicos programme,' Rubio said. In an earlier statement, Rubio also announced visa restrictions for African officials, without specifying the countries involved, as well as the Caribbean country Grenada, for the same reasons. The Cuban government has called Washington's efforts to stop its medical missions a cynical excuse to go after its foreign currency earnings. Cuba's deputy director of US affairs, Johana Tablada, said its 'medical cooperation will continue'. '[Rubio's] priorities speak volumes: financing Israel genocide on Palestine, torturing Cuba, going after health care services for those who need them most,' Tablada wrote on X. Cuba's international missions are sold to third countries and serve as a main source of foreign currency for the economically isolated nation, which has been subject to decades-long crippling sanctions by the US. Havana's international medical outreach goes back to the years following the 1959 Cuban Revolution, as Fidel Castro's communist government provided a free or low-cost medical programme to developing nations as an act of international solidarity. It is estimated that Havana has sent between 135,000 and 400,000 Cuban doctors abroad in total over the past five decades. Brazilian Minister of Health Alexandre Padilha said his government would not bow to what he called 'unreasonable attacks' on Mais Medicos. Cuba's contract in the programme was terminated in 2018 after then-President-elect Jair Bolsonaro questioned the terms of the agreement and Cuban doctors' qualifications. Washington is already engaged in a heated diplomatic row with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's government after imposing sanctions on Brazilian officials involved in Bolsonaro's ongoing trial over his alleged coup plot in 2022. Cuba's healthcare system is public and meant to be universally accessible. But decades of sanctions and a downturn in tourism due to Trump's travel ban mean the one-party state is no longer medically self-sufficient. Since returning to the White House, the Trump administration has resumed its 'maximum pressure' campaign against Cuba that typified his first term. Last year, the island nation of 9.7 million people could not afford the $300m needed to import raw materials to produce hundreds of critical medicines. In July, Trump imposed sanctions against Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel, Minister of the Revolutionary Armed Forces Alvaro Lopez Miera, and Minister of the Interior Lazaro Alberto Alvarez Casas for their 'role in the Cuban regime's brutality toward the Cuban people'. Earlier, the Trump administration also signalled its intention to tighten visa restrictions on Cuban and foreign officials linked to Havana's medical missions around the globe. Rubio described the medical programme as one where 'medical professionals are 'rented' by other countries at high prices', but 'most of the revenue is kept by the Cuban authorities'. In 1999, after Hugo Chavez's Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela, Cuba sent medical staff and educators to the country. In return, Cuba bought Venezuelan oil at below-market prices, developing the idea of Havana exporting medical professionals as a source of revenue. Some 30,000 Cuban medical workers were sent to Venezuela in the first 10 years of the 'Oil for Doctors' programme. Cuba later received hard currency to set up permanent medical missions in countries including South Africa, Brazil, Ecuador and Qatar.

Ukraine, Europe, Trump ‘very much' aligned: Merz
dpa Berlin German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said the positions of Ukraine, its European allies and US President Donald Trump are 'very much in agreement' ahead of a planned meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska later this week. 'In Alaska, fundamental European and Ukrainian security interests must be safeguarded. That was the message that we Europeans gave President Trump today,' Merz said in Berlin following talks via video link. 'And I can say that we were very much in agreement on both the assessment of the starting position and the achievable goal for this Friday,' the German leader said alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who had travelled to Berlin for the talks. Merz, Zelensky and a number of European leaders held talks via video link with Trump and his Vice President JD Vance regarding the US president's upcoming meeting with Putin in Alaska on Friday that is expected to address Russia's war in Ukraine. The talks were arranged at short notice by Merz, with Zelensky joining him in person on Wednesday at the Chancellery in Berlin. Ahead of the talks with Trump and Vance, Zelensky joined a preliminary video discussion just among European leaders which included leaders from France, Britain, Italy, Poland and Finland, as well as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President António Costa and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. Berlin said the aim of the talks was to ensure Kiev and its European partners were fully involved in the preparations for Trump's meeting with Putin. European governments fear the Trump-Putin talks could lead to territorial concessions to Russia that Kiev has firmly rejected. Zelensky said after the consultations that he hopes for an immediate ceasefire as well as robust security guarantees for his country from the upcoming summit. Zelensky stressed that in all negotiations concerning the future of his country, Ukraine must have a seat at the table. Furthermore, he asserted that Russia should not be granted a veto regarding Ukraine's NATO membership. Merz said that Ukraine needs security guarantees on the path to a possible peace with Russia. Such guarantees were briefly discussed during the consultations that included Zelensky, Merz said. 'We know that Ukraine needs security guarantees,' he added. Merz told a press conference that the Europeans 'want President Donald Trump to be successful in Anchorage on Friday.' He also reiterated five main points for a peace deal with Russia. For the Anchorage meeting to yield an outcome acceptable to all, it has to be made clear that Ukraine will be allowed to be at the table in potential follow-up talks, Merz said alongside Zelensky. 'We want negotiations to take place in the right order. There must be a ceasefire at the beginning,' said Merz. Essential elements should then be agreed in a framework agreement, he added. Regarding a third condition for a potential peace deal, Merz said: 'Ukraine is ready to negotiate on territorial issues. However, the so-called line of contact must be the starting point and legal recognition of Russian occupation is out of the question. The principle that borders may not be changed by force must continue to apply.' Fourthly, Merz called for 'robust security guarantees for Kiev' and for Ukraine's ability to defend itself to be maintained, while lastly, any future negotiations must be part of 'a common trans-Atlantic strategy.' French President Emmanuel Macron expressed support for a trilateral meeting between Trump, Putin and Zelensky in Europe. Following the video call with the US president and European leaders, Macron said at his summer residence in Bormes-les-Mimosas in the south of France on Wednesday that Trump wanted to push for such a gathering. 'We wish for it to be held in Europe, in a neutral country that is accepted by all sides,' Macron posted on X.
