Russo-Ukrainian war, day 1668: Thousands remain trapped and starving in Russian-occupied Oleshky
Ukrainian drones strike the crude unit that handles 52% of Russia's TANECO refinery 1,200 km away, Russia seizes Nestlé and Auchan's local assets as it turns foreign-owned businesses into leverage, and Tusk warns Moscow may stage "accidental" drone strikes on NATO members.
On day 1668 of the Russo-Ukrainian war, thousands of people remain trapped and starving in the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky. With no access to food or a means of escape, residents are suffering immensely. Russian forces have bombarded incoming supplies, making it nearly impossible for aid to reach the besieged town. As the war drags on, Ukraine is facing increasing pressure to bolster its defenses against Russia's advanced missile and drone strikes.
In response, the European Union has pledged €3.3 billion in aid to Ukraine, with more funds on the way. Meanwhile, Poland plans to supply Ukraine with F-16 missiles to counter the escalating threat of jet-powered drones.
