War in Ukraine: what you need to know
The last: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has condemned the missile attack on the port of Odessa, which took place less than a day after the signing of an agreement with Russia to allow the export of blocked grain. Four Russian Kalibr missiles were fired at the port, the Ukrainian military said.
The fight: Russia’s recent operational pause, which analysts have identified in recent weeks as an effort to regroup troops before doubling southern and eastern Ukraine, appears to be coming to an end. Russia appears ready to resume its ground offensives, with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu telling troops on Saturday to step up attacks “in all operational sectors” of Ukraine.
Arms: Ukraine uses weapons such as Javelin anti-tank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, supplied by the United States and other allies. Russia has used an array of weapons against Ukraine, some of which have drawn analysts’ attention and concern.
