Offensive actions in the south,\u201d Zelenskyy said on Telegram messenger. In its evening report, Ukraine\u2019s General Staff said 22 Russian attacks had been beaten back in and around Avdiivka. In its account of the fighting, Russia\u2019s Defence Ministry said its forces had struck Ukrainian troops and equipment near Bakhmut, another devastated town north of Avdiivka.<\/li>\n<li>The Ukrainian general prosecutor\u2019s office said one man died when Russian forces shelled Avdiivka, another in an attack on Chasiv Yar to the north, and a third in the southern city of Kherson. In the town of Selydove in the east, another body was pulled from the rubble lifting the death toll from Tuesday\u2019s Russian missile strike to three.<\/li>\n<li>The Ukrainian Air Force said it brought down 14 attack drones and an X-22 cruise missile fired from southern Russia, as authorities in the southern region of Odesa said they had destroyed a rare Iranian-built Mohajer-6 attack and reconnaissance drone. Russia bought 30 of the drones last year, they added.<\/li>\n<li>Russia\u2019s Defence Ministry said anti-aircraft units destroyed three Ukrainian drones over the Crimean peninsula, as well as four sea drones. Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tr-story-p1\">Separately, the Defence Ministry said a group of Russian journalists came under a Ukrainian drone attack in the southern Zaporizhia region. A reporter from the Rossiya 24 state TV channel suffered minor injuries, the ministry added.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"politics-and-diplomacy\">Politics and diplomacy<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"spaced-bullet-spacing\">\n<li class=\"tr-story-p1\">Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared to make dovish remarks on Ukraine, telling the leaders of the Group of 20 (G20) that it was necessary to think about how to stop \u201cthe tragedy\u201d of the war. Putin noted that some leaders had said in their speeches that they were shocked by Russia\u2019s ongoing \u201caggression\u201d in Ukraine. \u201cYes, of course, military actions are always a tragedy,\u201d Putin told the virtual meeting. \u201cAnd of course, we should think about how to stop this tragedy.\u201d Putin launched Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. During his speech, the Russian president also described the conflict as a \u201cwar\u201d rather than using the Kremlin\u2019s preferred term of \u201cspecial military operation\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Following the G20 meeting, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz told reporters that he had urged Putin to withdraw all Russian troops from Ukraine \u201cso that this war can finally end\u201d. Scholz was speaking alongside Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who said that it was necessary to work towards peace but also to remember \u201cthat in Ukraine, there is an aggressor and a [party that was] attacked. It is simply enough for Russia to withdraw its troops from the invaded territory\u201d.<\/li>\n<li>Poland said it had charged 16 foreigners with spying for Russia, and allegedly preparing acts of sabotage and gathering information on deliveries of military equipment to Ukraine. The spy ring was dismantled in March.<\/li>\n<li>A court in St Petersburg sentenced 17-year-old Yegor Balazeikin to six years in a juvenile penal colony for throwing Molotov cocktails at army recruitment offices in protest against Moscow\u2019s assault on Ukraine. There were no casualties or significant damage in the attack because the device failed to ignite.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tr-story-p1\">Russia said it had protested to Finland after a damaged Russian T-72B3 tank was put on display near the Finnish parliament. \u201cWhy are they doing this, for what? Why do Finns need this?\u201d Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, accusing Helsinki of \u201cRussophobia\u201d. The tank was put on display on Saturday in an initiative by two pro-Ukraine associations in Finland to remind people of the ongoing conflict.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"weapons\">Weapons<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"spaced-bullet-spacing\">\n<li>Zelenskyy and Ukrainian Defence Minister Rustem Umerov welcomed the formation by Ukraine\u2019s Western allies of a 20-nation \u201ccoalition\u201d to boost the country\u2019s air defences. The group will be led by Germany and France.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tr-story-p1\">The Kremlin declined to comment on a suggestion by White House spokesman John Kirby that Iran may be considering providing Russia with ballistic missiles for use in\u00a0Ukraine. \u201cWe are developing relations with Iran, including in the field of military-technical cooperation, but we do not comment on this information,\u201d spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in a regular news briefing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0635\u062f\u0631\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2023\/11\/23\/russia-ukraine-war-list-of-key-events-day-638?traffic_source=rss\">\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0635\u062f\u0631<\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/lenkaed.com\" title=\"\u0623\u062e\u0628\u0627\u0631\" rel=\"dofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u0623\u062e\u0628\u0627\u0631<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 638 | Russia-Ukraine war News\" href=\"\/\">Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 638 | Russia-Ukraine war News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 638 | Russia-Ukraine war News Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 638 | Russia-Ukraine war News As the war enters its 638th day, these are the main developments.
