Ukraine Hits Donetsk, US Nod To F-16 Training, “Russia Blocked IAEA From Full Entry To Zaporizhzhia”

Tensions escalated as Russian forces intercepted two Ukrainian drones aimed at Moscow, following an increase in fatalities in the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk. Intense shelling by Ukrainian troops in central Donetsk killed three people. Amid the conflict, the US has approved F-16 training for Ukrainian pilots, with Denmark and the Netherlands leading the training efforts. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, Europe's largest and currently under Russian control, remains a focal point; its occupation is particularly concerning for Ukraine, especially in light of potential safety risks. Russia disclosed a significant budget deficit for January-July 2023, attributing it to a decline in revenues and increased expenses. #ukraine #russia #war #worldnews 0:00 - INTRODUCTION 0:32 - RUSSIA SAYS IT DOWNED UKRAINIAN DRONES HEADED FOR MOSCOW 1:36 - THREE KILLED IN DONETSK AS UKRAINE INTENSIFIES SHELLING 3:06 - BIDEN CLEARS F-16 TRAINING FOR UKRAINIAN PILOTS 4:20 - “VITAL TO REGAIN CONTROL OF ZAPORIZHZHIA NUCLEAR PLANT” 6:26 - RUSSIAN BUDGET DEFICIT SURGES TO $29.1 BILLION n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
