Ukrainian forces reportedly struck the Kremniy El plant in Russia's Bryansk region, a facility producing electronics and components for Russian missiles. The attack, allegedly carried out with British Storm Shadow missiles, prompted Russia to claim civilian casualties and accuse British specialists of involvement. Russia condemned the attack as a "terrorist" act and reiterated that its "special military operation" aims to demilitarize Ukraine. Both sides continue attacks amidst a stalemate, with Russia making slow advances and Ukraine reclaiming some territory. Negotiations involving Russian and American negotiators, led by former US President Donald Trump, may occur next week, focusing on proposals that include Ukraine ceding control of areas in the Donbas region to Russia.
