In addition to previous aid packages, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is seeking additional Patriot batteries to create a shield around Ukrainian cities and defend against further Russian missile attacks.

Quick Glance: Detention of Russia's Deputy Defense Minister on Suspicion of High Treason

Timur Ivanov, Russia's deputy defense minister, is suspected of high treason and bribery, facing a possible 15-year sentence.

Ivanov's arrest sparked speculation about a potential purge within Moscow's elite circle, especially given his close relationships with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

Independent Russian media outlets report corruption allegations against Ivanov and his family, stemming from kickbacks on ministry-related contracts.

Ivanov is also alleged to have profited from construction projects in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, which fell under Moscow's control after a prolonged siege. His arrest came shortly after a meeting with Shoigu and other defense ministry officials.

Quick Glance: Ukraine intensifies attacks on Russian oil facilities

On Wednesday, Ukraine and Russia exchanged attacks, including a two-day drone offensive against Russian oil facilities, which President Vladimir Putin described as an attempt to disrupt the presidential elections scheduled for this weekend.

A Ukrainian drone strike hit an oil refinery in the Voronezh region in southwest Russia, where 35 drones were intercepted, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

The attacks represent Kyiv's most extensive assault on Russian infrastructure since the start of the war, sending a message of Ukrainian resilience ahead of Russia's elections, taking place over three days.

They also highlight Kyiv's increased emphasis on striking deep into Russia, as Ukrainian forces face shortages of ammunition and personnel on the front line, while Russian forces escalate their offensive.

The former head of Ukraine's armed forces will become the country's ambassador to the UK.

Valerii Zaluzhnyi was dismissed by President Volodymyr Zelensky last month, marking the biggest shake-up in Ukraine's military leadership since Russia's full-scale invasion.

The decision to remove General Zaluzhnyi came at a time when the professional soldier was gaining higher approval ratings than President Zelensky himself, sparking speculation about a rift between the two men.

There are still some formal approvals to be completed, but it is understood that Gen Zaluzhnyi has accepted his new role as UK ambassador.
