Russia's War on Ukraine Enters Day 1,362: Key Developments
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine has entered a grim milestone with day 1,362 of ongoing fighting. Despite numerous attempts at ceasefire negotiations, the war rages on, causing irreparable damage to civilians, infrastructure, and the environment.
Russian forces have made significant gains in the southeastern Zaporizhia region, capturing key settlements like Rivnopillya and Mala Tokmachka. They now claim control over 75 percent of this area, highlighting their relentless push for territorial dominance. Ukraine's General Staff has confirmed a series of attacks by Russian forces on civilian targets, resulting in at least four civilian deaths and 17 injuries.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces have launched a daring attack on the Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery in Russia's Samara region. The strike was reportedly successful, with explosions and a fire reported at the site. This bold move is seen as an attempt to disrupt Russia's energy supplies and deal economic blows.
In other developments, Russian air defenses destroyed over 50 Ukrainian drones on Sunday evening, further underscoring the escalating nature of the conflict. Ukraine's attempts to retaliate were thwarted, however, with only two Neptune guided missiles intercepted by Russian forces.
As the war drags on, Russia's energy sector faces increased pressure. The Novorossiysk port resumed oil loadings after a two-day suspension due to a Ukrainian missile and drone attack, which damaged critical infrastructure. In contrast, Ukraine has secured vital imports of US liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Greece, ensuring its access to essential winter supplies.
On the diplomatic front, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in talks with Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin during a visit by Kazakhstan's president to Moscow. These discussions highlighted the ongoing struggles faced by Russia's energy conglomerates under US-led sanctions.
In an unexpected twist, environmental group Greenpeace revealed that France is providing reprocessed uranium to Russia for treatment and reuse, sparking widespread criticism from nations seeking to intensify sanctions on the Russian government.
As day 1,362 of this devastating conflict enters its history books, civilians on both sides continue to bear the brunt. With no clear end in sight, the international community remains vigilant, holding out hope for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing crisis.

Russia's struggling to get their energy back on track and it's all because of the US being all dramatic about it. Like, come on! Can't we just have a chill conversation about trade and energy cooperation? 
But noooo, everyone has to jump on the bandwagon and impose more sanctions. Meanwhile, Ukraine is getting some sweet deals with the US for LNG 
Guess that's what happens when you're not in Russia's shoes... 
France providing reprocessed uranium to Russia? Talk about a tricky moral compass 
. Maybe we should just focus on finding solutions instead of piling on more pressure? 
I'm so sorry I missed this thread. It's crazy how fast time flies. 1,362 days is like, an eternity for those affected by this war 
. Ukraine's response to attack Russian oil refineries is a bold move, but also really concerning - what if this escalates further? 
Russia's energy sector is already struggling with sanctions, and now they're having to get uranium from France?! 
It just goes to show how far the world has come in imposing economic pressure on Russia. But at the same time, I'm so glad Ukraine secured that LNG import deal from Greece - winter is coming, and they need all the energy they can get 
. Can we please just keep hoping for a peaceful resolution? 
dont even get me started on the energy sector - russian oil refinery attack was a great move by ukraine btw 
but us is still helpin out ukraine w/ lng imports & france is like "hey, we got uranium 4 ur treatment" 
lol what's next?
This war is taking such a toll on innocent lives 
. I'm so worried about the civilian casualties and displaced people. It's crazy that Russia's energy sector is under pressure because of Ukraine's attacks, but at the same time, Ukraine's trying to disrupt their supply chain too 
. And what's going on with France providing reprocessed uranium to Russia? Doesn't it seem like a double standard? 
The international community needs to keep pushing for peace talks and finding ways to support both sides without fueling the conflict 
. It's heartbreaking that this war is still dragging on after 1,362 days 
. Can't believe Russia is still trying to flex its muscles and Ukraine's just like "hey, no thanks, we've got this". The energy sector drama is getting real - who knew oil refineries could be a thing? 
. Can't we just have a nice cup of tea and talk about this instead of watching it escalate? 
️
The situation is getting more intense by the day, and I'm not just talking about the number of deaths. Russia's energy sector is under so much pressure now, and Ukraine's trying everything they can to disrupt their supplies 
. And let's be real, the environment is paying the price too - we're talking oil spills, destroyed infrastructure... it's heartbreaking 
What's next? Like, I get that they need energy, but come on, can't we find a way to resolve this without hurting our planet? 
hope they can keep up the momentum and put some pressure on russia's energy supplies. would be a huge blow to their economy 
anyway, gotta feel sorry for all the civilians caught in the middle of this mess 
. The fact that Russia is basically just taking over Ukraine's territory is so messed up 
.
️ the situation is getting more and more dire by the day 
but at what cost? civvies getting hurt and infrastructure getting smashed 
reprocessed uranium from france being used to treat and reuse russian nuclear waste? that's just gross 
it's not just about politics and economies, it's about real people's lives 
Meanwhile, Ukraine's got the balls to take out an oil refinery in Samara - gotta wonder what's really going down behind closed doors here...
