Russia says it downs 502 Ukrainian drones, strikes port of Odesa
MOSCOW — Russia's Defence Ministry said on Wednesday it had intercepted and destroyed 502 Ukrainian drones over various regions overnight and had hit a fuel depot in the port of Odesa, which it said was used to supply the Ukrainian army. Reuters could not independently verify the ministry's assertions.
Russia has appointed former Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud as an arbitrator in a dispute with Ukraine's state-owned bank, Oschadbank, over investment treaty claims, according to a recent report. The three-member tribunal, which also includes Cost Rican arbitrator Dyalá Jiménez and Greek arbitrator Stavros Brekoulakis, will determine the disputed worth of over $hundreds of millions of dollars.
Oschadbank alleges losses in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions following Russia's military actions in Ukraine since the 2022 full-scale invasion. The arbitration proceedings were initiated after Oschadbank's claim of $hundreds of millions of dollars in losses went unanswered from Russia in July 2025.
