KYIV, Ukraine -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday announced the departure of defence minister Oleksiy Reznikov, calling for"new approaches" a year and a half into Russia's invasion.
"I believe that the ministry needs new approaches and other formats of interaction with both the military and society at large." This latest attack came on the eve of a summit in Russia between President Vladimir Putin and Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who hopes to revive the grain deal.But Kyiv also said that some of the drones hit the Danube area, wounding at least two people in attacks on"civilian industrial" infrastructure.
The Odesa region attacks came as Kyiv has claimed some successes in its counter-offensive on the southern front this week. "We are now between the first and second defensive lines," Tarnavskiy -- who led Ukrainian troops to liberate the southern city of Kherson -- told the UK paper. Russia has not announced another mobilisation, seen as an unpopular measure, but has led an active campaign to attract more men into the military as its Ukraine offensive drives on into a 19th month.
