Necessity is the mother of invention, so the saying goes, and Ukraine has had to innovate. Like Israel, Ukraine is an innovator in drones and unmanned ground vehicles.

In recent years, Ukrainian drone-makers have unveiled and combat-tested several drone interceptors that can sometimes be 3D-printed and cost significantly less than traditional air defense systems.

A Ukrainian soldier said Russian reconnaissance drones were still circling the area despite the ceasefire, while the Belgorod region's governor said two people were killed by Ukrainian shelling.

Putin's announcement was similar to a 30-hour ceasefire he ordered last year. Each side accused the other of violating it.

According to the findings, the targeted sites were divided into three categories based on their strategic importance.

Chief Rabbi and Chabad shliach Rabbi Yonatan Markovitch, along with his son Rabbi Ariel Markovitch, held a series of events at the beginning of Passover, aimed at reaching every Jew in Kyiv.

Ukrainian President Zelensky’s visit to Syria marks a symbolic step toward a peaceful future, fostering cooperation between Syria, Turkey, and Ukraine despite regional conflicts.

It was the Ukrainian leader's first trip to Syria since diplomatic relations were re-established at the end of last year following the fall of Syria's long-time strongman Bashar al-Assad.

Zelensky held key meetings in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, showing that countries aligned with the US and the west can work together.

Kyiv is hoping to bolster support in its war against Russia, which is now in its fifth year, as the US-Israeli war with Iran raises uncertainty over whether Washington will restrict its military aid.
