As the Russia-Ukraine conflict enters day 1,360, new updates from the battlefield show that fighting has intensified in several strategic areas, with both sides pushing to gain ground.
Reports from the front line indicate that Russia launched multiple assaults across eastern Ukraine, targeting regions that are important for supply routes and military positioning. Ukrainian forces say they repelled some of the attacks, but heavy shelling caused casualties and widespread destruction.
At the same time, Ukraine carried out new drone strikes on cities inside Russia, triggering power outages and disruptions in several locations. Russian authorities claim they intercepted most of the drones, yet the attacks still inflicted damage on critical infrastructure.
Analysts warn that the renewed pressure from both armies may further weaken any chance of peace negotiations. Western countries continue discussions on fresh support for Ukraine, while Russia insists it has the capacity and resolve to sustain the war.
Civilians remain among the hardest hit, especially in areas facing daily bombardments. Aid organisations report urgent needs for food, clean water, and shelter as thousands continue to flee their homes.
The war continues to shape politics, security, and the economy across Europe, with no clear sign that either side is preparing to back down.
