The air force drills with Russia that start on Monday are to prepare for possible 'combat missions' but the move comes as concerns grow that Moscow is pushing Minsk to join the war in Ukraine.
The Russian defence ministry said 4 Ukrainian missiles hit a temporary Russian barracks in Makiivka, twin city of the Russian-occupied regional capital of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.
Ukraine’s air force claimed to have destroyed all of Russia's 39 Iranian-made Shahed drones, as the attacks continued on capital and its surrounding areas Monday.

Germany’s erstwhile Christian Democratic Union govt, led by Angela Merkel, prevented sale of small arms to police forces in states they perceived had ‘bad human rights record’.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
