Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that the Kremlin is prepared to use “military means” to achieve its goals in Ukraine if diplomatic efforts with the West fail to satisfy Moscow’s demands.

‌At least three people in the Zhytomyr region, including a four-year-old child, have been killed and dozens wounded across Ukraine in Russia’s latest attacks, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Polish and ‍allied ‍aircraft have been deployed to ensure the safety of ⁠Polish airspace after the attacks near Poland’s border with Ukraine.

Both Russia and Ukraine are innovating methods to deploy ground robots for assault missions, engineering tasks, and coordination with air-based drones.
