On Tuesday, he said, 14 regions came under attack throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to support Ukraine and not remain silent about Russia\u2019s war. Every time the war disappears from the top of the news, it encourages Russia to become even more savage,\u201d Zelenskyy said, in an apparent reference to world attention being gripped by the Iran war.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow\u2019s attacks on its neighbor are unrelenting, even as Ukraine is emboldened by its recent military accomplishments and as U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin claim \u2014 without providing evidence \u2014 that the war could be approaching the end.<\/p>\n<p>Trump and Putin talk of a possible end to the war<\/p>\n<p>Trump said Tuesday said he believes Moscow and Kyiv will soon reach a deal to end fighting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe end of the war in Ukraine I really think is getting very close,\u201d Trump told reporters as he departed the White House for a summit in Beijing. \u201cBelieve it or not, it\u2019s getting closer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Putin said in a speech last weekend that his invasion of Ukraine is possibly \u201ccoming to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neither leader elaborated on what persuaded them about the possibility of peace in Europe\u2019s longest conflict since World War II. U.S.-led diplomatic efforts over the past year to end the war have fizzled after making no progress on key issues, such as whether Russia gets to keep Ukrainian land and what can be done to deter Russia from invading again.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/southfloridamovingguides.com\/?p=200\">Denver airport security missed trespasser who was killed by plane on runway<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, European governments are assessing the merits of opening talks with Putin. Europe has for years tried to isolate the Russian leader and punished his country with international sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>War appears to shift in Ukraine&#8217;s favor<\/p>\n<p>The correlation of forces in the war has shifted in recent months. Ukraine has gone from pleading for international help with its defense to offering foreign countries expertise on how to counter attacks, thanks to its domestically developed drone technology.<\/p>\n<p>Ukraine\u2019s long-range drone and missile attacks have disrupted energy facilities and manufacturing deep inside Russia, with three Russian regions reporting strikes Wednesday. The Russian Defense Ministry said that its air defenses intercepted and destroyed 286 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions, the illegally annexed Crimea peninsula, the Azov Sea and the Black Sea.<\/p>\n<p>On the 1,250-kilometer (780-mile) front line, the advance of Russia\u2019s bigger and better-equipped army has been slowing every month since last October, according to the Institute for the Study of War.<\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s spring offensive has floundered, with Russian forces recording a net loss of territory last month for the first time since 2024, the Washington-based think tank said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot only are Ukrainian defensive lines holding, but Ukrainian forces have managed to contest the tactical initiative in several areas of the front line even as Russia continues to lose disproportionate amounts of manpower to achieve minimal gains,\u201d the ISW said Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>Hatton reported from Lisbon, Portugal.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>Follow the AP\u2019s coverage of the war in Ukraine at https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/russia-ukraine<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/southfloridamovingguides.com\/?p=198\">MCSO: Port Charlotte woman charged after striking deputy in Florida Keys<\/a><\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia presses its barrages of Ukraine as Trump talks of possible peace and Kyiv is emboldened<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":203,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
