Official: Ukrainian forces hit Russian positions in Kherson Oblast

Air raid alerts rang out across Ukraine as a massive swarm of attack drones crossed the Russian border shortly after 11:00 a.m. local time.

Although the target of the attack was not immediately clear, Volna, located just east of Crimea's Kerch Peninsula, is home to an oil terminal that has previously been the subject of Ukrainian strikes.

Russia launched 139 drones overnight, Ukraine's Air Force said on the morning of May 13, most of them Shahed-type deep-strike drones and various Russian-made copies.

"The end of the war in Ukraine... I really think it's getting very close," U.S. President Donald Trump said.

The number includes 1,130 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.

President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a presidential decree on May 12 imposing sanctions against 32 Russian companies and 34 nationals involved in supplying materials in support of Russia’s military-industrial complex.

A massive fire reportedly broke out at a tourist complex in Moscow overnight on May 13, Russian Telegram media channels reported.

Two people were killed and four others injured, including a 9-month-old girl hospitalized in critical condition, local authorities said.

Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat, expressed "frustration" over the slow pace of the bloc's defense industry production, drawing a stark contrast with Ukraine's growth.

The attacks come after the three-day Victory Day ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia ended.

Ukraine’s business police, known as the Bureau of Economic Security, searched and confiscated products from e-cigarette sellers in 12 regions, including Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, and Zakarpattia, Pavlo Buzdyhan, the bureau’s deputy director, told the Kyiv Independent.

Months later, Russians responsible for acts of genocide against Ukrainian children find themselves added to Western sanctions lists.
