Here is the situation on Tuesday, February 11:
Fighting
- A woman was injured and five houses damaged in an overnight Russian drone attack on Ukraine’s northeastern city of Sumy, regional official Ihor Kalchenko said. A separate attack on a non-residential building in Kyiv also sparked a fire, the capital’s mayor, Vitali Klitschko, said.
- Russia’s Defence Ministry said air defence units intercepted and destroyed 15 Ukrainian drones overnight. Seven were downed over Russia’s southern Krasnodar region, while the rest were destroyed in the country’s southern and western regions, the ministry said.
- The Ukrainian military said it shot down 61 out of 83 drones launched by Russia overnight, while just more than 20 of the unmanned aerial vehicles failed to reach their targets, the military added.
Russian Gas & Oil
- Moldova’s Prime Minister Dorin Rocean said the country’s pro-Russian breakaway enclave, Transnistria, has rejected the European Union’s 60 million euro ($61.8m) offer to fund gas purchases. Rocean said, “Russia does not allow them to accept European aid for fear of losing control over the region.”
- Transnistria’s leader, Vadim Krasnoselsky, said a Hungarian company was arranging to supply gas to the separatist enclave with “Russian credit and functional support”. Recean said gas would start flowing under this arrangement as early as February 13.
Politics & Diplomacy
- Russian state news agency RIA quoted the country’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin as saying that Moscow had not received any satisfactory proposals to start a ceasefire conversation with Ukraine.
- Chinese President Xi Jinping accepted Russia’s invitation to attend commemorations of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War II, Moscow’s state news agency TASS reported. May 9 marks the 80th anniversary of the victory.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to attend the Munich Security Conference, where Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine will be high on the agenda. Senior representatives from United States President Donald Trump’s administration will also attend the conference, which starts on Friday and where talks are expected to take place
