     How war devastated Ukraine's strategic town Vuhledar, year-by-year

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: :: Satellite images show the year-by-year devastation of Ukraine's Vuhledar :: 2024 Planet Labs Inc. :: September 17, 2021 :: September 21, 2022 :: September 29, 2023 :: September 17, 2021 Satellite imagery—captured over four years each mid-late September—revealed the extent of the town's destruction, with buildings in ruins, road torn up and vegetation all but gone by 2024. Russian troops took the centre of the bastion town on strategic high ground in eastern Ukraine on Tuesday, the governor of Ukraine's Donetsk region said. Russian forces reached the outskirts of the small mining town last week and intensified their offensive push in recent days. Ukrainian military analysts said that full control over Vuhledar would help Moscow's troops in their further advance in the region as they would control heights, key for their artillery fire.

     Trump meets with Zelenskiy, vows to end Ukraine war

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: Trump: "A great honor to have you." Zelenskiy: "Thank you so much." Donald Trump welcomed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to Trump Tower in New York on Friday for their first meeting in 5 years to discuss the Ukrainian leader's "victory plan" to end the war with Russia. Zelenskiy: "I think we have a common view that the war in Ukraine has to be stopped and Putin can't win.” The Republican presidential candidate praised Zelenskiy but said he also had a solid relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump: "So we have a very good relationship, and I also have a very good relationship, as you know, with President Putin, and I think if we win, we're going to get it resolved very quickly. I really think we're - " Zelenskiy: "I hope we have more good relations between us, than...." Trump: "Oh, I see. But you know, it takes two to tango, you know...” Trump’s tone on Friday marked a shift from some of his recent comments about Ukraine on the campaign trail. On Monday, Trump said Zelenskiy wanted his Democratic rival, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, to win the election, and on Wednesday he called the Eastern European nation "dead" and "demolished." TRUMP ON 9/25: “Ukraine is gone. It's not Ukraine anymore. You can never replace those cities and towns and you can never replace the dead people. So many dead people." While Ukraine's leader was in Washington, President Joe Biden announced a new military aid package of more than $8 billion, while Harris reaffirmed her support for Ukraine. And, in a veiled swipe at Trump, accused him of failing to stand up for the Eastern European ally. HARRIS ON 9/26: "In candor, I share with you, Mr. President, there are some in my country who would instead force Ukraine to give up large parts of its sovereign territory, who would demand that Ukraine accept neutrality and would require Ukraine to forgo security relationships with other nations. These proposals are the same as those of Putin." As late as Thursday, people close to Trump and his campaign had said a meeting appeared extremely unlikely, but the former president apparently changed his mind during Zelenskiy's stay in the country.

     US pledges $8 billion in military aid for Ukraine

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: BIDEN: "We stand with Ukraine now and in the future." U.S. President Joe Biden announced more than $8 billion in additional aid to Ukraine during a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to Washington D.C. ZELENSKIY: "We have a strong security agreement with United States, and we are grateful for it and we will fully implement it." The aid will include the first shipment of a precision-guided glide bomb, a medium-range missile that gives Ukraine a major weapons upgrade. It'll also provide the country additional air defense, unmanned aerial systems and air-to-ground munitions. JOURNALIST: 'Mr. President, can you bring an end to this war?' ZELENSKIY: "Of course we have to." Earlier, Zelenskiy was at the Capitol to meet with Democratic and Republican lawmakers. The Ukrainian president has faced rising criticism from some Republicans leaders, including presidential candidate Donald Trump: TRUMP ON WEDNESDAY: "Take a look at the war happening right now in Ukraine. It would have never happened if I were president to start off with.” Trump said on he would meet with Zelenskiy on Friday in New York. This after telling a campaign rally in North Carolina this week: "We continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refused to make a deal." In the 2-1/2 years since Russia began its full-scale invasion, Congress has approved nearly $175 billion of aid and military assistance for Ukraine and allied nations. Many lawmakers say they expect Washington will need to approve more money to help Kyiv within the next several months.

     Putin issues a nuclear warning to the West over Ukraine

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: :: Vladimir Putin says Russia could use nuclear weapons if it's struck with conventional missiles :: September 25, 2024 :: Moscow, Russia "The updated version of the document proposes that aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear-weapon state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear-weapon state, should be regarded as a joint attack on the Russian Federation. The conditions for Russia's transition to the use of nuclear weapons are also clearly defined. We will consider such a possibility as soon as we receive reliable information about a massive launch of aerospace attack means and their crossing of our state border, meaning strategic or tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, hypersonic missiles and other aircraft." "We reserve the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against Russia and Belarus as a member of the Union State. All these issues have been agreed upon with the Belarusian side and with the President of Belarus. This includes cases when the enemy, using conventional weapons, poses a critical threat to our sovereignty." The decision to change Russia's official nuclear doctrine is the Kremlin's answer to deliberations in the United States and Britain about whether or not to give Ukraine permission to fire conventional Western missiles into Russia. Putin, opening a meeting of Russia's Security Council, said that the changes were in response to a swiftly changing global landscape which had thrown up new threats and risks for Russia. The 71-year-old Kremlin chief, the primary decision-maker on Russia's vast nuclear arsenal, said he wanted to underscore one key change in particular. "It is proposed that aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, be considered as their joint attack on the Russian Federation," Putin said.

     Ukraine's Zelenskiy tells UN Russia must be forced into peace

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: On Tuesday Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy told the UN Security Council (September 24) that the war with Russia cannot be resolved through dialogue alone and that Moscow must be forced into peace. "Putin has broken so many international norms and rules that he won't stop on his own. Russia can only be forced into peace and that is exactly what's needed. Forcing Russia into peace as the sole aggressor in this war, the sole violator of the U.N. Charter. // Our Ukrainian right to self-defense must prevail. Our cooperation with nations of the world who value life as we do, our territorial integrity, our sovereignty, the independence of our country." Ukraine faces an uncertain future. Right now it relies heavily on U.S. military and financial support. A victory for former President Donald Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris in November's U.S. presidential election could prompt a reset of Washington's policy on Ukraine. Zelenskiy again mentioned a "victory plan" he plans to show both candidates for ending the conflict. He has revealed little about it beyond saying it would lead to a second Ukraine-led summit for peace by the end of the year that Russia would be invited to. However, he has said that if his plan is backed by the West, it could significantly impact Moscow, including in a psychological way that could help compel Putin to end the war diplomatically. During the the summit on Tuesday, Russian U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia spoke up to reject the 15-member council's hosting of Zelenskiy. There was also a clash between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi over allegations of Chinese support for Russia’s war efforts.
