Russia claimed it intercepted dozens of Ukrainian drones headed for Moscow, while Ukraine reports Russian missile attacks have killed at least two civilians. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continues to rally international support for his nation at the United Nations assembly in New York.
Despite US-led peace efforts faltering, European leaders have backed Zelenskyy's diplomatic pursuits as the unrest in Gaza takes center stage at the UN. The full-scale Ukrainian conflict persists, with NATO allies holding urgent talks after Russian jets allegedly breached Estonian airspace.
The UN reported a 40% rise in Ukrainian civilian casualties this year, attributing the increase to intensified Russian attacks. Additionally, a UN report highlighted the dire conditions of Ukrainian detainees under Russian control, alleging systematic abuse and violence.
