This week, battles continued to rage along the front lines. The war led by the U.S. and Israel against Iran affects Russia\u2019s war effort in Ukraine. Particularly, it gave a respite to the Russian economy, analysts said. Russia can also benefit from the fact that the war with Iran is sucking up expensive U.S. air defense munitions, Politico said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said on Monday that his government had received 11 requests for help \u2014 from the U.S. and countries in the Middle East and Europe \u2014 on how to deal with Iran\u2019s Shaheds. Ukraine has \u201ccards\u201d to play and everyone understands that they are there, Zelenskyi told Irish journalist Caolan Robertson in an interview released mid-week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine continues to hold the defensive lines. Its troops continue a counteroffensive operation in the Oleksandrivka direction, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrskyi said Monday. Ukraine\u2019s counterattacks in the south have caused cascading effects for Russian forces and may disrupt Russia\u2019s spring-summer 2026 offensive campaign plan, the Institute for the Study of War said early in the week. Ukraine launched a record number of drones on Russia in one day between Sunday and Monday. It struck the Kremniy El plant in Russia\u2019s Bryansk on Tuesday, marking the first use of drones to direct fire in real time since the invasion. Ukrainian drones struck the Tikhoretsk oil pumping station in southern Russia, Thursday reports said.Meanwhile, Russia is intensifying its campaign of strikes against Ukrainian ports and railway infrastructure. Russia\u2019s aerial attacks continue to cause civilian casualties. A Russian \u200bairstrike on the city \u200bof \u200bSlovyansk in Donetsk region on Tuesday killed four people \u2060and \u200binjured 21 others. An overnight drone attack on the community of Mena in Chernihiv region on Thursday killed a 15-year-old girl and injured her parents, local authorities said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia\u2019s deportations of Ukrainian children amount to crimes against humanity, UN inquiry concludes.<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In its latest report, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine said the deportation and forcible transfer of children by Russian authorities, as well as enforced disappearances, represented a crime against humanity and a war crime. <\/strong>An unjustifiable delay in children\u2019s repatriation amounted to a war crime, it also said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report, presented at the 61st session of the UN \u2060Human Rights Council in Geneva on Thursday, studied the cases of 1,205 \u200bchildren from five regions in Ukraine \u2014 Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Kharkiv and Mykolayiv. More than 80 per cent of these children have not yet been returned. They were placed in families or institutions across 21 Russian regions and given Russian citizenship. Their profiles appeared on adoption or foster placement databases, the report says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also concludes that Russian authorities, \u201cat the highest levels \u2014 including President Putin and entities directly answerable to him\u201d had coordinated the deportations and forcible transfers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
