A Sign Before the Storm? Another Cross Falls in Kyiv – What Does It Mean for Ukraine? - Ukraine war map A cross recently collapsed from the dome of a church in Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, sparking discussions as a similar event occurred before Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. On the frontlines, Russian forces are advancing near Sumy Oblast, and intense battles continue in multiple directions, including Pokrovsk, Kurakhove, Velyka Novosilka, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. Ukrainian forces are making gains near Shevchenko and Zabalka while holding defenses elsewhere. No major changes have been recorded in the past 24 hours, but heavy shelling and assaults persist. Meanwhile, speculation grows over a potential third strike on the Crimean Bridge, with Ukraine’s Navy Commander hinting at an attack. President Zelensky announced ongoing preparations for peace negotiations in Saudi Arabia, expressing optimism about their success. He also expects new defense support packages, particularly for air defense and domestic military production. #ukraine #russia #counteroffensive #news #map #update #latest ================================================================= Hey, welcome to my channel!
