   • The stakes behind Ukraine's surprise attack inside Russian territory

     CBS News Videos
     8 hours ago

     Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is gambling that his surprise attack into Russia can convince Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to the 2½-year-old war which has produced an estimated one million casualties. But Putin's forces continue to rely on the sheer weight of numbers to grind Ukraine down, and Zelenskyy must depend on America's deeply divided politics for the aid which he needs to stave off Russian assaults on his front lines and air attacks against his cities. CBS News national security correspondent David Martin talks with former Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Miley about the stakes.

     Ukraine joins NATO drill to test anti-drone systems

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: :: Ukraine joins a NATO drill to test anti-drone systems for the first time :: The alliance is seeking to learn from the use of unmanned systems in the war :: September 19, 2024 :: Vredepeel, Netherlands :: Claudio Palestini, Co-chair, NATO working group on unmanned systems "Every year we see an evolution of the threat, with the introduction of new technology like first-person-view drones or more autonomy in the use of drones. But also we see a lot of capabilities that are becoming more mature." The drills at a Dutch military base, involving more than 20 countries and some 50 companies, tested cutting-edge systems to detect and counter drones and assessed how they work together. The 11-day exercise ended with a demonstration of jamming and hacking drones in a week when their critical role in the Ukraine war was demonstrated once again. On Wednesday, a large Ukrainian drone attack triggered an earthquake-sized blast at a major Russian arsenal. The following day, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow was ramping up drone production tenfold to nearly 1.4 million this year. Experts have warned NATO that it needs to catch up quickly on drone warfare.

     EU plans $39 bln Ukraine loan, as Zelenskiy wants fast decisions

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: “Russia’s relentless attacks mean further support is necessary." The European Commission will grant a loan of up to $39 billion to Ukraine to help the country stuck in a grinding war with Russia, its president Ursula von der Leyen announced on Friday. "This is a huge step forward. We are now confident that we can deliver this loan to Ukraine very quickly. A loan that is backed by the windfall from immobilized Russian assets.” Outlined on her visit to Kyiv, the loan is part of a wider plan among G7 nations to raise funds using $300 billion of Russian assets locked as punishment for invading its neighbor. Ukraine is facing huge financial needs after more than two years of intensive warfare that have devastated its infrastructure. Russia has knocked out about 9 gigawatts of Ukraine's energy infrastructure. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine planned to use the proposed loan for air defense, energy and arms procurement. Zelenskiy also raised a "victory plan," of which few details have been revealed. But he singled out the importance of the United States to the plan, and said he and President Joe Biden would discuss it when they meet next week. “The entire plan is predicated upon quick decisions from our partners. The plan is predicated upon decisions which should take place from October to December, and not delaying these processes. We really want to see this, and we would then consider that the plan has worked.” Zelenskiy says the "victory plan" aims to create terms acceptable to Ukraine after more than two and a half years of war following Russia's full-scale invasion. Russia's foreign ministry on Friday (September 20) said the European Union had "lost its mind". And that the "large-scale theft of Russian assets will finally nullify the authority and trust of the international community in the European Union". The loan proposal still needs approval by the European Parliament and by a qualified majority of the EU's 27 national governments. EU member states received the proposal on Friday, an EU diplomat said.

     EU to loan Ukraine up to $39 bln, funded by Russian assets

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: :: The European Commission says it will loan Ukraine up to $39 billion after Russia destroyed its infrastructure :: September 20, 2024 :: Kyiv, Ukraine :: Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission President :: “Russia’s relentless attacks mean further support is necessary. And this is why I am happy to announce that today the Commission has adopted proposals that will enable the European Union to lend 35 billion euros from the G7 pledge. This is a huge step forward. We are now confident that we can deliver this loan to Ukraine very quickly. A loan that is backed by the windfall from immobilized Russian assets.” :: Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Ukrainian President :: “All the details of the peace plan I will discuss first of all with the President of the United States. Most of the decisions from the plan depend specifically on him. On other allies too, but there are certain points which depend on the goodwill and support of the United States. I hope he supports this plan.” The loan, which was announced while the bloc's Commission chief was on a visit to Kyiv, is part of a wider plan among G7 nations to raise funds using proceeds from Russian assets frozen to sanction the country for invading its neighbor. Ukraine is facing huge financial needs after more than two years of intensive warfare that have devastated its infrastructure. Russia has knocked out about 9 gigawatts (GW) of Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Zelenskiy singled out the importance of U.S. President Joe Biden to the victory plan, which he said the two leaders will discuss when they meet. The Ukrainian leader is travelling to the United States next week. The Group of Seven countries (G7) froze around $300 billion worth of Russian financial assets soon after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. They pledged to use the funds to help their ally, but spent months discussing how exactly such a mechanism could work.

     Joe Biden says Putin will not prevail in war with Ukraine

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: :: September 13, 2024 :: Washington, D.C. :: Biden says Putin 'will not prevail in war with Ukraine' “The United States is committed to standing with you to help Ukraine as a defense against Russia's onslaught and aggression, and be clear, make it clear that Putin will not prevail in this war and the people of Ukraine will prevail.” :: The remark came as British PM Starmer visited the White House :: Keir Starmer, British Prime Minister “Starting, of course, with Ukraine, where I think the next few weeks and months could be crucial. Very, very important that we support Ukraine in this vital war of freedom.” :: Putin warned the West that enabling Ukrainian long-range strikes would lead to conflict with Russia “What do you say to Vladimir Putin’s threat of war, Mr. President?” “I don’t think much about Vladimir Putin.” The two leaders discussed the next steps in supporting Ukraine, centring on whether to allow Western missiles to be used to hit targets in Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has been pleading with allies for months to let Ukraine fire Western missiles including long-range U.S. ATACMS and British Storm Shadows deep into Russia to limit Moscow's ability to launch attacks. The New York Times reported, citing European officials, that the United States looks set to approve the use by Ukraine of long range missiles against targets in Russia on the condition that the weapons were not those provided by the United States. President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that the West would be directly fighting with Russia if it allowed Ukraine to strike Russian territory with Western-made long-range missiles, a move he said would alter the nature and scope of the conflict.

     Ukraine firms hire more women and teens as labor shortages bite

     Reuters Videos

     STORY: Liliia Shulha has landed her dream job after years in what she described as "boring, sedentary" office work. Now she drives trucks with Ukraine's leading retailer, Fozzy Group. Ukraine has lost more than a quarter of its workforce since Russia's invasion in 2022, central bank data shows. And businesses are hiring more women in traditionally male-dominated roles. Childcare is in short supply though, and Shulha had to move back in with her parents for help with her two teenagers. "Yes, people are curious and shocked when they see me. They all film me on their phones when I deliver or load my lorry. They take pictures of me, whether it's passers-by or others, they're all shocked. Soon there'll be more us, and people won't be that shocked anymore. Soon it won't be news anymore that women work in such professions. Then people will leave me alone." Millions of people, mostly women and children, have fled abroad, and tens of thousands of men have been mobilized. Reuters spoke to representatives of nine Ukrainian companies who found that staff shortages and a growing mismatch of skills were big challenges. In the agricultural southern region of Mykolayiv, women like Maria Korolenko are being trained as tractor drivers, as well as tram and truck drivers, coal miners, security guards, and warehouse workers, companies say. "I understood how necessary it was for me to work. Not only for me and not only for my family. Right now, unfortunately, the men are being taken away - more and more of them are being taken away. And it's so hard. Now we do all the work that the boys used to do. // When the war is over, when we win, the guys will come back and give us holidays." Businesses have raised wages, and are hiring more retirees and teenagers. Vodafone has repackaged its youth program to bring more young people on board. Ilona Voloshyna is head of training and development in Kyiv. "Right now, we're feeling the shortfall even more. If we look at the numbers from last year, around 40 percent of our specialists have left our shops. So, we're feeling the lack of the workforce in the market." The government and foreign partners have launched several programs to help Ukrainians reskill. But analysts expect the jobs crisis to persist and warn it could endanger post-war recovery.
