Ukrainian paratroopers regain control of Kotlyne near Pokrovsk. An overnight Russian drone attack kills two, injures two others in Kyiv region. The UK, Germany and France are willing to send troops to Ukraine, Trump is ready to backstop the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukrainian paratroopers regain control of Kotlyne near Pokrovsk<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ukrainian 25th Separate Sicheslavska Airborne Brigade has regained control of the village of Kotlyne that sits near Pokrovsk, in Donetsk region, Ukraine\u2019s Air Assault Forces said on Wednesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cParatroopers of the 25th Separate Sicheslavska Airborne Brigade of Ukraine\u2019s Air Assault Forces have cleared the village of Kotlyne near Pokrovsk,\u201d the Air Assault Forces said in a statement. Russian control of the village would have allowed Moscow to take control of a key highway running from Pokrovsk toward the city of Dnipro, the Ukrainian military said. That\u2019s why Russia sent significant forces to capture it. The 25th Separate Sicheslavska Airborne Brigade and other branches of the Ukrainian military have impeded Russia\u2019s plans to consolidate positions in Kotlyne, and have forced Russian troops out of the village, the statement reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, 1,170 Russian soldiers were killed or wounded on Tuesday. Ukrainian troops destroyed 19 Russian tanks, 15 armored fighting vehicles, 34 artillery systems, two air defense systems, 194 operational-tactical drones and 120 vehicles in the past day, the General Staff said in a morning report Wednesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overnight Russian drone attack kills two, injures two others in Kyiv region<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ukrainian Air Force said on Wednesday that it shot down 110 out of 177 drones launched by Russia overnight. Sixty-six decoy drones disappeared off radar after likely being disabled by electronic warfare systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attack caused destruction in the regions of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kropyvnytskyi and Sumy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two people were killed and two others wounded in Kyiv region. The strike damaged private homes, apartment buildings, cars and garages in the Bucha district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Private energy company DTEK said its energy facility in the region of Dnipro was hit, without providing details. Emergency power cuts were implemented in the regions of Odesa and Dnipro. They resulted from a shortage of network capacity after Russia\u2019s attack, Ukrenergo national energy operator said. Repair works were underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Kharkiv, a drone crashed into an apartment building, injuring two, the city\u2019s mayor Ihor Terekhov said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UK, Germany, France willing to send troops to Ukraine, Trump ready to backstop effort, French Finance Minister says<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The UK, Germany and France \u201care already willing\u201d to put their troops on the ground in Ukraine to help guarantee its security, while other EU states will contribute as well, French Finance Minister Eric Lombard told Bloomberg Television in an interview in Cape Town, where he\u2019s attending a meeting of Group of 20 finance chiefs on Wednesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lombard said he expects the U.S. to provide backup for European troops to help maintain peace once a ceasefire is agreed between Ukraine and Russia. U.S. President Donald Trump said he would agree to provide the backstop, he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we want a ceasefire to be respected, we need a U.S. backup,\u201d Lombard said on Wednesday. \u201cI believe the Americans have agreed to do that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

France and the UK have developed a plan to provide security guarantees to Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron said on a visit to Washington Monday. The countries agreed that any peace deal should include the deployment of European peacekeeping forces in Ukraine. \u201cThey would not be along the front lines. They would not be part of any conflict. They would be there to ensure that the peace is respected,\u201d Macron said in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Britain and France are developing a plan to deploy up to 30,000 European peacekeepers in Ukraine with U.S. backing, earlier media reports said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. is not sending troops into Ukraine, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said earlier this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
