Ukraine Recap: NATO-Ukraine Council to Discuss Black Sea Ports

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said a Wednesday meeting of the new NATO-Ukraine Council at the level of ambassadors will discuss the security of Ukrainian grain exports and Black Sea ports.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is due to hold meetings with his Egyptian counterpart, Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed as delegations start arriving for the second Russia-Africa summit. The two-day event in St. Petersburg opens Thursday and the Kremlin has said 17 heads of state are due to take part, along with lower-level officials from as many as 49 countries.

On the battlefield, Ukrainian forces continued counteroffensive operations on at least three sectors of the front and advanced on Tuesday, according to the Institute for the Study of War. Footage published Tuesday showed that Ukrainian troops had made “tactically significant” gains south of the village of Klishchiivka, which is itself to the southwest of Bakhmut, the US-based organization said on its website.
