Moscow launches sixth airstrike in six days; US debt ceiling deal won’t limit Ukraine spending, says Chuck Schumer
Russia-Ukraine war at a glance
A village in Russia’s western Bryansk region has been shelled by Ukrainian forces, setting a house on fire, but no one was injured, regional governor Alexander Bogomaz said in a post on the Telegram messaging app on Friday.
Neither Reuters nor the Guardian could verify the reported attack on Lomakovka village located close to the border with Ukraine’s Chernihiv region.
Russian officials have reported intensified attacks from northern Ukraine and said that on Thursday Ukrainian troops attempted to cross the border into the Belgorod region, the first such incursion.
Ukraine denies its military is involved in the incursions and says they are conducted by Russian volunteer fighters.
Speaking to reporters on condition of anonymity, the official said the US steps to stop sharing with Russia some of the information required under the New Start treaty were reversible, Reuters reports, and that the United States was looking to draw Moscow back into arms control talks, an unlikely prospect given Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine and US arms supplies to Kyiv.
