Russia claims air strikes on Ukrainian ports, Ukraine reports hitting Russian large logistics hub

Russia said on Sunday that its forces continued striking Ukraine's port infrastructure and maritime vessels used for the interests of the Ukrainian military, and Ukraine reported on the same day of attacking on a Russian large logistics hub and Russian missile system, according to their latest updates on the conflict.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that over the past 24 hours, Russian forces launched air strikes on vessels transporting supplies for the Ukrainian forces located in the port of Odessa, and attacked the unmanned boat production workshop near the port, and the mooring area of Ukrainian patrol boats near the Port of Vylkove.

In the Black Sea waters east of Odessa, the Russian forces attacked a dry cargo ship transporting weapons from Western countries to Ukraine.

In addition, Russian forces carried out cluster strikes on military industrial enterprises in Kyiv, a refinery in Poltava Oblast and a metallurgical plant in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, using land-based and air-based high-precision weapons as well as long-range attack drones.

On the same day, Ukraine's Defense Ministry reported early that morning, Ukrainian forces launched a large-scale drone attack on the logistics hub of Russia's large online retailer Wildberries in the Moscow region.

The logistics hub covers an area of 250,000 square meters and is the largest warehouse facility of Wildberries, said the report.

Seven of the 10 large warehouses of Wildberries have so far been shut down.

The Ukrainian Navy said on the same day that it had struck the Russian Bastion missile system and launch positions deployed in Crimea in the early hours of that day.

For a long time, the Russian military has frequently used the Bastion to launch Oniks supersonic missiles and Zircon hypersonic missiles to attack southern Ukraine and other regions, said the Ukrainian Navy.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the United States has suggested that Ukraine could be offered membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in exchange for withdrawing from the Donbas, according to media reports.

"The Americans raised the question: 'If Ukraine joins NATO, would it withdraw from the Donbas?' This was the first time such a question had been raised," Zelensky told reporters in remarks released by his office on Saturday.

Zelensky has reaffirmed that Ukraine will not retreat or give up its territory. He said Ukraine was discussing a comprehensive security package with its partners that could be offered during peace negotiations.

The package includes specific security guarantees from NATO and the European Union, a strong army with a sufficient number of personnel and weapons, financial support for a specified period and a recovery plan backed by funding from clearly defined sources, Zelensky added.

Trilateral talks involving Russia, the United States and Ukraine just ended on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, with no agreement announced on a ceasefire, territorial disputes or long-term security guarantees.

On Thursday, U.S. envoy Jared Kushner said in a social media post that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to expand the next round to include European partners. He said this would allow discussions on broader post-war European security arrangements alongside territorial issues.
