A Russian missile strike in Ukraine’s central Dnipropetrovsk region has resulted in at least four deaths and over a dozen injuries, including a child, with a rescue operation currently in progress. President Zelenskyy’s call for Ukrainian-controlled territories to be taken under the NATO umbrella while stating willingness to negotiate the return of Russian-occupied areas over the long term has been seen as a strategic move. Ukraine has reported being attacked by Russian drones, with several shot down and others disappearing. The country has sought assistance from Latin American parliamentarians in defense against Russia. Meanwhile, North Macedonia has arrested a man suspected of planning to join the Russian army and fight in Ukraine, with online recruitment for financial compensation being cited. This development marks the first case of a Macedonian national facing such charges. The escalation of conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to draw international concern and calls for diplomatic solutions.
