The Russian war in Ukraine is a military conflict that started in 2022 when Russia invaded eastern and southern Ukraine. The war has killed thousands of people, displaced millions of others, and caused widespread damage to infrastructure and the environment. According to BBC News, some of the latest developments in the war are:

- On Thursday, Russian missiles struck targets in cities across Ukraine, killing at least nine people. Buildings and infrastructure were hit in Kyiv, Odesa and Kharkiv, with power blackouts in several areas. Ukraine said Russia had fired 81 missiles, the largest number in a single wave for several weeks.
- Heavy fighting continues around Bakhmut in the east of the country, where Ukrainian forces are holding on under intense pressure from regular Russian troops and Wagner group mercenaries fighting on the Russian side. Western officials estimate between 20,000 and 30,000 Russian troops have been killed or injured so far in and around Bakhmut.
- Front lines in the south around Kherson are largely stable, but artillery strikes continue. Russia has also targeted the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, cutting it off from the Ukrainian power system for several hours.

The war has sparked international condemnation and sanctions against Russia, as well as diplomatic efforts to find a peaceful solution. However, so far, no breakthrough has been achieved. The war is seen as a major challenge to European security and stability, as well as a humanitarian crisis.
