A Kremlin spokesperson said last week that no Ukrainian peace plan can succeed without taking into account "the realities of today that can't be ignored" — a reference to Moscow's demand that Ukraine recognize Russia's sovereignty over the Crimean Peninsula, which was annexed in 2014, as well as other territorial gains.The Foreign Affairs Ministry said Russia never went through the legal procedure for acquiring membership and taking the place of the former Soviet Union at the UN Security Council.Russia's Baza news outlet reported that four people were wounded and said a fire had broken out, with explosions, sirens and flashes on a video it posted on its Telegram channel.In keeping with the Kyiv government's long-standing practice of not confirming cross-border attacks but welcoming their results, Ukrainian air force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat didn't directly acknowledge his country's involvement in Monday's incident in an interview on Ukrainian television, but said: "These are the consequences of Russian aggression."'Absolutely satisfied' with Zelenskyy's U.S. visit Kuleba, who has been second only to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in carrying Ukraine's message and needs to an international audience, told AP that he was "absolutely satisfied" with the results of Zelenskyy's visit to the U.S. last week."
