Ukraine kills senior Russian General with HIMARS strike | World | News
According to Russian officials, a senior Russian general was killed in a Himars strike near the Ukrainian border. Mikhail Yevgenyevich Gudkov, Deputy Commander of the Russian Navy, was killed on Wednesday, as defined by the Ministry of Defense as a “war work” in the Kursk region near Ukraine.
Gudkov’s death points to one of the highest profile losses for Moscow, because in February 2022, Russia launched an invasion of a full -scale Ukraine. The loss will be a major blow to the Russian leader who appointed Gudkov in March.
During today’s call, Trump and Putin discussed other issues in what Iran, Ukraine and the Kremlin described as a “open and constructive” discussion. Trump has been the sixth sixth conversation since he returned to the White House.
While the Foreign Advisor Yuri Ushakov discussed the situation in Iran and the wider Middle East, Putin emphasized the need to solve all differences with “political and diplomatic ways”. The leaders admitted that Russian and US officials would continue their contacts on the issue.
In the clash in Ukraine, Ushakov said that Trump emphasized the difficulty of stopping the war quickly, and that Putin expressed his ready -to -talk to Moscow Kiev and that the previous tours in Türkiye gave humanitarian results.
At the same time, the Russian leader will try to achieve the goals of Moscow in Ukraine and try to remove the “main reasons” of the conflict.
“Russia will not withdraw from these goals, Uso said Ushakov to journalists after the call.
In February 2022, Putin argued that Ukraine sent unity to Ukraine to a threat to Russia, which Ukraine’s joining NATO and forcing Russian speakers in Ukraine to protect the Russian speakers in Ukraine – rejected by Kiev and its allies. He insisted that any possible peace agreement had abandoned Ukraine’s NATO proposal and that Russia should recognize its regional gains.
The Call on Thursday confirms that Pentagon paused that some weapons were sent to Ukraine while reviewing US military stocks. Weapons for Ukraine include air defense missiles, precision guided artillery and other equipment.
