The latest developments in the Russia-Ukraine war include accusations of white phosphorus drone strikes by Ukraine, the assassination of a Russian general, and intensified fighting in eastern Donetsk.
We're now receiving more comments from Russia's foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. She says that Ukraine has repeatedly dropped white phosphorus munitions from its drones in September. Zakharova did not provide any further details, but claimed law enforcement agencies had evidence of the use of such munitions by Ukraine. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine, which has previously accused Russia of using phosphorus.
Ukrainian politicians have received no confirmation of whether Kyiv's security services were responsible for the assassination of Russian general Igor Kirillov, says one of the country's MPs. Russia's investigative committee announced this morning that it had detained a suspect who had admitted to carrying out the killing on the instruction of Ukraine's security services (see 6.42 post).that MPs had not received any official confirmation on who was responsible for the killing but that, in her opinion,'he has received justice'. 'When one is starting a full-scale invasion on a sovereign state, they have to expect that their generals might also be dying,' she said. The MP added that Kirillov was guilty of creating'obscure propaganda' about the presence of biohazard laboratories in Ukraine, which was used as an excuse by Vladimir Putin to launch his full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Moscow's forces are moving at their fastest pace this year in the eastern Donetsk region of Ukraine, Kyiv's top army commander said last night. Oleksandr Syrskyi told government and regional officials in an online speech that Russian troops continued to focus their assaults on the logistical centres of Pokrovsk and Kurakhov
