00:00Well, from one war front to another, as heavy fighting continues to rage between Russia
00:05and Ukraine, both sides claim major damage inflicted on each other.
00:11Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is in the U.S. to put forth Kiev's so-called
00:17victory plan to end more than two and a half years of war, while the battlefield remains
00:23ablaze with relentless attacks from both the sides.
00:27Our next report telling you more.
00:37Russian forces have intensified their assault on Ukraine, with the southeastern city of
00:42Zaporizhia taking the brunt of the bombardment.
00:49Ukraine accuses Russia of using glide bombs to target civilian areas in Kharkiv and Zaporizhia,
00:55causing widespread destruction.
01:02Russia claims to have launched a hypersonic missile to destroy U.S.-made Himars rocket
01:06systems used by Ukraine.
01:08Aerial footage shows thick plumes of grey smoke over the sky in these images released
01:13by the Russian Defense Ministry.
01:16Moscow also boasts precision strikes on Ukrainian howitzers and tanks.
01:27In an attempt to counter Ukrainian drone strikes, Russia improvised its tanks with makeshift
01:32armour, creating what it calls turtle tanks.
01:36Kiev released these images showing its forces quickly destroying several of these vehicles,
01:41demonstrating that Russia's wartime innovations are far from impenetrable.
01:50Ukraine also claims to have successfully neutralized Russian air defence systems.
01:57But Moscow's pain runs much beyond the battlefield in Ukraine.
02:01Ukraine in the past one week has struck two large ammunition depots deep inside Russia.
02:09Kiev has doggedly targeted Russia's military assets, including ammunition sites and air
02:14bases across the border, as it tries to damage Moscow's ability to wage war.
02:21These attacks on Russia's military assets have become a crucial component of Kiev's
02:25calculus, as it seeks to level the playing field against an adversary with overwhelming
02:30firepower.
02:35While the war rages on the battlefield, Ukraine's President Zelensky's trip to the US is an
02:40effort to rally more military aid and international support.
02:44He is set to present his victory plan to President Biden, as well as presidential hopefuls Kamala
02:49Harris and Donald Trump.
02:51Russia closely watching these developments has stated it will review any official proposals
02:57that are presented.
