Ukrainian children return to school, with some attending classes in bomb shelters
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof visited Zaporizhzhia, a city near the front lines, to mark the start of the academic year at an underground school where classes are held in a bomb shelter due to the ongoing conflict.
A Ukrainian petition to lower the military draft age limit from 60 to 50 has gained significant support, requiring President Zelensky's consideration. This move aims to boost the economy and address draft avoidance issues. Meanwhile, officials push for younger recruits to enhance frontline capabilities. Ukraine struggles with mobilization efforts, citing lack of Western weapons and poor recruit quality. The government is implementing stricter measures to combat draft evasion and increase tax collection, while facing criticism from Russia about the use of soldiers.

In a dramatic interview with RT’s Anna Knishenko, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused Israel and Ukraine of deliberately instigating major regional conflicts to address their own issues. Lavrov claims that Israel is leveraging current tensions to resolve long-standing conflicts with Hamas, Hezbollah, and pro-Iranian groups, while avoiding direct engagement from Tehran. He also draws a parallel with Ukraine, suggesting President Volodymyr Zelensky is trying to entangle Western powers, including the US and NATO, into a direct confrontation with Russia. Lavrov's statements reveal a contentious perspective on the geopolitical manoeuvring by both nations, highlighting the complex and volatile nature of current international conflicts.
