Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelenskiy will on Tuesday address a meeting of the United Nations Security Council (#UNSC) on #Russia's war in his country, said #Slovenia's #UN mission - president of the 15-member body for September.
The meeting will be held while world leaders are in New York for their annual gathering at the U.N. General Assembly.
The Russian Armed Forces are already preparing for the #Zapad-2024 exercises in #Belarus.
The last time the “Zapad” (“Zapad-2021”) took place was September 10 to 15, 2021. The maneuvers were carried out at 14 training grounds located in Belarus and #Russia. 2,500 military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces took part in the exercises on the territory of the Republic of Belarus.
Russian firms provided insurance cover for 60% of #Moscow's oil cargoes to #India in July, up from 40% in December last year, according to Reuters calculations based on the vessels' documents.
By using Russian insurers, Moscow can sell the oil above a $60 per barrel price cap that the Group of Seven (#G7), the #EU and #Australia imposed aiming to limit #Russia's oil revenue following its invasion of #Ukraine.
#NATO must enact a "robust coordinated" response to incidents in which Russian missiles or drones fired at #Ukraine enter the alliance's airspace, Romanian Defence Minister Angel #Tilvar said on Wednesday.
States on NATO's eastern flank, whose defence ministers met in #Bucharest on Wednesday, have repeatedly said #Russia's activities in the Black Sea region and beyond were a source of deep concern.
