Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 1,238
Here is how things stand on Wednesday, July 16: Fighting A Russian attack on the Kupiansk district in Ukraine's Kharkiv region killed two people in their late 60s and injured two others, the regional prosecutor's office said on social media. A Russian artillery attack on the outskirts of the Velykopysarivska community in Ukraine's Sumy region killed a 50-year-old resident, regional authorities said. The Russian Ministry of Defence said its troops had occupied the villages of Voskresenka and Petrivka in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region. A Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's western city of Voronezh wounded 27 people, local officials said. The city's mayor, Sergei Petrin, said a kindergarten was damaged and children were being temporarily transferred to neighbouring facilities. Russian air defence units destroyed 12 Ukrainian drones over the Voronezh region, Governor Alexander Gusev said on Telegram. A drone crashed in an industrial zone in Russia's Yelets city in the Lipetsk region, injuring one person, regional Governor Igor Artamonov said on Telegram. The governor of Russia's Bryansk region, Alexander Bogomaz, said a woman was injured in a drone attack on the village of Sluchevsk. The Russian Defence Ministry said on Telegram that its air defence units destroyed 55 Ukrainian drones overnight across five Russian regions and the Black Sea. Politics and diplomacy United States President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House that Ukraine 'shouldn't target' the Russian capital Moscow, and that he was 'on nobody's side…I want to stop the killing'. Senior Russian security official Dmitry Medvedev dismissed what he described as Trump's 'theatrical' 50-day 'ultimatum' for the Kremlin to end its war on Ukraine after the US president announced a deal to supply more weapons to Kyiv via NATO, and threatened tariffs on Russia. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Trump's remarks on Monday were 'very serious', adding that 'some of them are addressed personally to President Putin'. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that the US president's 'change of posture' towards Russia was 'obviously welcome'. Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal announced his resignation a day after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was offering the job to Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko. Shmyhal is expected to become Ukraine's defence minister. The European Union did not approve a new round of sanctions on Russia after Slovakia requested a delay in the vote. The European Council has imposed sanctions on an additional five individuals 'responsible for serious violations or abuses of human rights and for the repression of civil society and democratic opposition in Russia'. US citizen Daniel Martindale, who lived in Ukraine and passed information to pro-Russian forces that helped to target Ukrainian troops, has received a Russian passport in Moscow. Weapons Several countries, including Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden, said they would take part in the US scheme for NATO member states to buy US weapons for use by Ukraine. Prime Minister Petr Fiala has said the Czech Republic would not participate in the NATO weapons purchase plan, adding that his country is focused 'on other projects and paths' to help Ukraine, including 'through the ammunition initiative'.

Ukrainian drone attacks wound 18 people in Russian regions, governors say
MOSCOW, July 15 (Reuters) - At least 18 people were wounded and houses and other buildings damaged in Ukrainian drone attacks overnight in the Russian regions of Voronezh, Lipetsk and Bryansk, governors there said on Tuesday. Russia's air defence units destroyed 12 drones over the Voronezh region, which borders Ukraine, Governor Alexander Gusev said on the Telegram messaging app. Sixteen people, including a teenager, were hurt as a result of the attack, he said. Residential buildings in the city of Voronezh and its outskirts were damaged, along with regional commercial facilities. Unverified video published by Mash, a Telegram channel close to Russian security services, showed an aerial object crashing into a building on a busy residential street in Voronezh, followed by a large fireball. The city's mayor, Sergei Petrin, said a kindergarten had been damaged and children were being temporarily transferred to neighbouring facilities. In the city of Yelets in the Lipetsk region, a drone crashed in an industrial zone, injuring one person, regional governor Igor Artamonov said on Telegram. In the Bryansk region, a woman was injured in a drone attack on the village of Sluchevsk, said the regional governor, Alexander Bogomaz. The Russian defence ministry said on Telegram that its units destroyed 55 Ukrainian drones overnight over five Russian regions and the Black Sea, including three over the Lipetsk region. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine about the attacks. Both sides deny targeting civilians in their strikes during the war that Russia launched against Ukraine more than three years ago. But thousands of civilians have died in the conflict, the vast majority of them Ukrainian. Ukraine has launched multiple air strikes on Lipetsk, a strategically important region with an air base that is the chief training centre for the Russian Aerospace Forces.
