As the war enters its 861st day, these are the main developments.
Here is the situation on Friday, July 5, 2024.
Russian attacks killed two people and wounded 26 in Ukrainian regions stretching from the south to the east and northeast, Ukraine authorities said. A missile strike in the southern Odesa region killed a woman and injured seven people, while a second woman was killed and a man was injured in a strike in Kharkiv region’s village of Ruska Lozova.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is expected to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Friday, according to Radio Free Europe and The Financial Times. The Kremlin neither confirmed nor denied the visit. It would be the first time since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that Putin and Orban have met inside Russia.
A Russian military court has placed Colonel Artyom Gorodilov, commander of the country’s 83rd Guards Air Assault Brigade, in pre-trial detention for two months on charges of large-scale fraud, according to state news agency TASS. Gorodilov is the latest in a series of high-ranking Russian military officers and senior defence officials to be arrested on charges of corruption in recent months.
Russia’s Ministry of Defence is carrying out drills involving mobile nuclear missile launchers, the Interfax news agency cited the ministry as saying. Yars missile launcher crews from two units are set to move over 100km (62 miles) and practise camouflage and deployment, it said, with more crews joining drills in the future.
