Ukrainians mourn their war dead after almost 1,000 days of war - but US move sparks hope
Monday, 18 November 2024 Barely anyone speaks – there is virtual silence apart from the sounds of passing vehicles and the wind whipping through flags and photographs commemorating the dead in a war that started 1,000 days ago when Russia invaded.
Russian opposition figures organised a protest march leading to the Russian embassy in Berlin to mark 1,000 days of war in Ukraine, an event which leaves some Ukrainians with mixed feelings.
Russia has intensified its aerial assault on Ukraine, launching over 95 Shaheed drones in a single night. Ukraine’s air defenses shot down 36, with another 25 lost due to electronic warfare. The strikes killed at least 7 civilians and injured over 50, with Sumy, Kharkiv, Donetsk, and Kherson among the hardest hit. A Russian Kinzhal missile also struck port infrastructure in Mykolaiv. The violence escalates as peace talks stall, with both sides ramping up attacks in a strategic push for leverage at the negotiating table.

Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization efforts—such as removing statues and renaming cities—Putin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed “de-Nazification” as a central goal of Russia’s war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant.

In a stunning political shift, nearly 90% of Ukrainians say they don’t trust U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a new poll marking his first 100 days back in office. Once seen as a possible dealmaker in the Russia-Ukraine war, Trump is now viewed with deep skepticism in Kyiv after refusing to provide security guarantees, blaming Ukrainian leadership for the ongoing conflict, and proposing a controversial peace plan that many see as favoring Moscow. Is Trump abandoning Ukraine? Or reshaping U.S. foreign policy with cold realism?

Sir Keir Starmer says talks on a potential ceasefire in Ukraine are "not at the end of the process" and any ceasefire has “got to be lasting, because I don’t trust Putin”. Asked about the suggestion the US could recognise Russia's annexation of Crimea; the prime minister tells broadcasters: "Ultimately that is a matter for the Ukrainians”. Report by Blairm.

Sir Keir Starmer says the overnight strike on Kyiv demonstrates that Russia President Vladimir Putin was "the aggressor here”. At least nine people were killed and more than 70 injured after a Russian strike on the Ukrainian capital amid further difficulties in peace talks. Speaking on a visit to Bristol, the prime minister says: "I think it's a real reminder that Russia is the aggressor here and that is being felt by the Ukrainians, as it has been felt for three long years now”.
