Vladimir Putin drones - Euro 2024 - European Union - Putin - Russia - Slovakia - South Korea - Ukraine - Vladimir Putin

Catch up on Ukraine's eventful week, including drone strikes, Euro 2024 triumph, and international tensions. Dive into the details now!

Ukraine had a rollercoaster of a week, starting with Putin warning South Korea against arming Ukraine, calling it a 'big mistake.' Despite the warnings, Ukraine managed to come from behind to beat Slovakia at Euro 2024, amid the backdrop of the ongoing conflict in their homeland. The drama continued as Russia neutralized 114 Ukrainian drones, with casualties reported in the attacks. Seoul found itself reevaluating arming Ukraine as Russia and North Korea appeared to align, further complicating the geopolitical landscape.

In a bold move, Ukraine launched drone attacks on Russian oil refineries, escalating tensions between the two nations. The European Union's decision to begin membership talks with Ukraine and Moldova marked a significant milestone for the countries. Ukrainian army units on the frontline reported facing 'mass frontal attacks' from Russian forces, painting a grim picture of the ongoing conflict.

As the dust settles in Ukraine, Roman Yaremchuk emerged as the hero, leading the national team to victory against Slovakia at Euro 2024. In a separate development, Ukraine is set to receive new Swedish combat vehicles by 2026, strengthening its defense capabilities. The recent events underscore the resilience and determination of Ukraine amidst challenging circumstances, shedding light on the country's unwavering spirit and perseverance.
