Zelenskyy: Putin Aims to Occupy All of Ukraine, Despite Doubts
The US Ambassador to the UN, Dorothy Shea, affirmed the United States’ commitment to defending NATO territory following a Russian drone incursion into Poland earlier in the week. The incident, involving 19 drones shot down by NATO aircraft, marks the first instance of Russian military hardware being destroyed on a NATO member state’s territory since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. While Russia denies responsibility, Poland presented evidence of Russian lettering on the downed drone. The US has also expressed concern over increased Russian strikes on Ukraine following recent diplomatic efforts, including a joint statement condemning Moscow’s actions.
