‘Harm to bilateral ties’: Russia demands US, Turkey explanation over possible Ukraine arms transfer - What's happening

Moscow has demanded that the United States and Turkey explain a potential transfer of US weapons to Ukraine, according to Maria Zakharova, Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman. She stated that such a transfer would cause significant harm to Russia's ties with both countries. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has intensified as Kyiv reportedly intensified its long-range aerial attacks on Russian military industries and energy facilities.

A Russian official confirmed that Ukrainian forces executed a large-scale strike against industrial infrastructure in Russia's southwestern Samara region, resulting in localized damage and injuries. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his satisfaction with Russia's Savasleyka air base, which was struck, being located approximately 700 kilometers from the front line.

He also mentioned that Ukraine had targeted an oil facility in Ust-Luga and had shot down 124 of 152 drones launched by Russia.
