Here are the key events of day 1 211 of the Russian war against Ukraine.

This is how things take place on Thursday, June 19:

Struggle

• The number of deaths of a large -scale Russian attack against kyiv earlier this week has increased to 28, with 130 injured, although rescue work is still in progress.
• The attack was led by 440 drones and 32 missiles, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
• Moscow characterized the attack as precision strikes on “industrial military installations in the kyiv region”, although the video sequences have shown the upgrading parts of a building in the Ukrainian capital.
• Russia said it has captured the village of Novomykolavka in the northeast Sumy region of Ukraine, where Russian forces have renewed their offensive. The region has been at the center of the fighting since the Russian invasion in 2022.

Diplomacy

• Addressing foreign media at a press conference at the end of the evening, the Russian leader Vladimir Putin rejected the fears that he planned to attack the Military Alliance of NATO. He said that the military block and his rearmament did not threaten Russia.
• Putin said he would consider Germany as a direct actor in the Ukraine War if he provided Kyiv Taurus cruise missiles. Earlier this month, the German Defense Ministry said that it had not planned to do so, despite repeated requests from Ukraine.
• Putin also declared that he did not consider Germany as a “neutral state”, but a “party supporting Ukraine, and in certain cases … as accomplices in these hostilities”.
• Despite his remarks, Putin said he was ready to meet the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, although he also expressed doubts about the role of Germany as a mediator in the Ukraine Russian War.
• Putin proposed to meet Zelenskyy but only during the “final phase” of talks to end the conflict. Last month, Putin refused to attend an opposite top to Istanbul with the Ukrainian president.
• Zelenskyy would have planned to attend a NATO meeting next week, where members will discuss defense expenses at 5% of the gross domestic product (GDP).

Sanctions

• Canada has announced new sanctions aimed at 77 people, 39 entities and 200 ships in the “Shadow fleet” of Russia. In addition to the sanctions, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney promised $ 1.47 billion in military support in Ukraine.
