According to Russia, Ukraine tried to strike Moscow on Monday using a drone but their air defense system stopped it. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, it was a terrorist act. According to Russia, two drones from Ukraine were used in the terrorist strike in Moscow. The attack did not result in any injuries.
Two non-residential buildings were attacked at around 4 a.m., according to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. The attack on Moscow took place a day after Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, threatened to exact retribution on Russia. In fact, following its withdrawal from the Grain Deal last week, Russia launched an attack on the Ukrainian port city of Odessa near the Black Sea. Zelensky has stated that Russia would experience the same emotions as we do.
One drone reportedly crashed on Komsomolsky Prospekt near the Russian Defense Ministry, while the other struck a commercial building on Likhacheva Street, according to the Russian news agency TASS. In a statement following this, the Ministry of Defense reported that two Ukrainian drones had been shot down.
Putin asserts that he has failed the counteroffensive by Ukraine. At the same time, the United States asserts that Ukraine has liberated 50% of its territory from Russian rule. These details have been provided by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. According to Blinken, Ukraine has had a really tough war in a CNN interview.
The earliest stages of Ukraine's counteroffensive (attack) to reclaim its land from Russia. According to Blinken, the Ukrainian onslaught won't stop in a week or two. These are expected to last for a while. Ukraine intends to join NATO next year, which is also happening.
"Ukraine will join NATO in the following year"
Olesky Reznikov, the foreign minister of Ukraine, has stated that during the NATO summit taking place the next year, his country can join the alliance. The organization will have been in existence for 75 years as of the summit in Washington the following year.
Who knows, July of next year might turn out to be significant for Ukraine, Reznikov remarked. This is what I think. Reznikov made his statement following the NATO summit last week. The member nations had stated at the meeting that they could not admit Ukraine to NATO while the country was engaged in combat.
The NATO Council was invited to a meeting by Zelensky.
Of course, Ukraine hasn't joined NATO yet, but the other members are giving it a lot of support. On Monday, July 17, Russia canceled the grain agreement it had with Ukraine during the first round of the conflict. Zelensky has also organized a gathering of NATO nations.
It can now strike Ukrainian ships transiting the Black Sea after being cut out of the grain deal. According to Zelensky, the NATO Council must decide how operations may be adequately managed from the Grain Corridor.
