The Ukrainian soldiers set off in pitch black, stealing through shell-cratered fields to carry out one of the most important tasks of the counteroffensive—and one of the most dangerous. Armed with a metal detector, a shovel and a grappling hook, the combat engineers—known as sappers—hunt for mines along the front line with Russian forces, while trying to remain undetected by the enemy nearby.

Ukraine’s failure to secure an invitation to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato) during the alliance’s annual summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, has disappointed many, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. But although the summit’s concluding statement did not offer a definitive timetable for Ukrainian accession, it did demonstrate a degree of unity and strategic foresight that would have been impossible had Donald Trump still been president of the US. To be sure, Nato leaders’ promise to extend an official invitation to Ukraine “when Allies agree and conditions are met" was somewhat nebulous, and Zelensky, angered by the ambiguity, criticized the Western position as “unprecedented and absurd." But US President Joe Biden was right to suggest that the war must end before Ukraine is allowed to join.

Fortnite enthusiasts can look forward to the release of Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4, which is expected to drop in a few months. Let's explore what we currently know about the forthcoming season. Although it may feel like Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 just began, this season has been marked by a multitude of collaborations, including The Witcher, Nike, and soon Lego as well. Fortunately, for those who may not be particularly drawn to the new jungle-themed Wilds season, Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 is anticipated to be one of the shortest seasons in the game's history. Consequently, players won't have to wait too long before they can experience fresh map content. Assuming everything proceeds as planned, Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 4 is slated to commence in August. It is advisable to complete the Chapter 4 Season 3 Battle Pass before that time, enabling you to deploy Optimus Prime on the battlefield. As stated on the in-game Fortnite Battle Pass page, Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 3 is scheduled to conclude on August 25, 2023. Accordingly, depending on the timing of the update, Chapter 4 Season 4 is likely to launch either on August 25, 2023, or in the early hours of August 26. It's worth noting, however, that Epic Games has previously postponed seasons from their originally planned start dates. Consequently, there is a possibility that Chapter 4 Season 4 could also experience a delay. Nevertheless, any potential delay is unlikely to extend beyond a week.

Though the military won’t comment on specific operations, officials say that it now uses an AI recommendation system that can crunch huge amounts of data to select targets for air strikes. Ensuing raids can then be rapidly assembled with another AI model called Fire Factory, which uses data about military-approved targets to calculate munition loads, prioritize and assign thousands of targets to aircraft and drones, and propose a schedule.

Kyiv has not offered much detail on how it's going. Taking place mostly out of sight of impartial observers, the fighting in eastern and southern Ukraine pits troops equipped with new Western-supplied weapons against Kremlin forces that spent months digging formidable defences and honing tactics. Here's a look at what's happening after more than 16 months of war:What are Ukraine's tactics? Fighting has intensified at multiple points along the 1,500-kilometer (930-mile) front line. Ukrainian forces are making steady progress along the northern and southern flanks of the wrecked city of Bakhmut, which Russian forces have been occupying since May. Battles are also raging along the southern front in Zaporizhzhia, where Ukrainian forces are making minimal gains and coming up against formidable Russian fortifications. Hanna Maliar, Ukraine's deputy minister of defense, recently claimed that Kyiv's forces had destroyed six Russian ammunition depots in the space of 24 hours, a remark that hinted at Ukrainian tactics.

(Reuters) — President Volodymyr Zelenskiy warned Ukrainians that Russia was throwing all its resources into a campaign to stop Kyiv's troops from pressing their counter offensive and a top general reported new progress on the southern front.

US President Joe Biden has cracked a joke after media reports suggested that Wagner Group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin could be in danger for carrying out an attempted mutiny last month against Russian President Vladimir Putin and briefly capturing Moscow's military facility. In a press conference in Helsinki, Biden said, "If I were he I’d be careful what I ate...I would keep an eye on my menu". The joke was a reference to high-profile instances of Russian security services using nerve agents and polonium to poison and kill political enemies of President Vladimir Putin.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Wagner paramilitary group led by Yevgeny Prigozhin “simply doesn’t exist," as he moves to dismantle an organization that was critical to Moscow’s war effort in Ukraine before it turned on the Russian establishment in a short-lived mutiny last month. Putin’s comments, in an interview published late Thursday in Russian newspaper Kommersant, came days after Russia’s Defense Ministry said it had taken control of Wagner tanks, artillery and guns after its involvement in the biggest challenge to Putin in his 23 years in power.

Associated Press reports.  President Joe Biden, in an official statement, said that the United States worked tirelessly to eliminate its chemical weapons stockpile over the last 30 years.  “Today, I am proud to announce that the United States has safely destroyed the final munition in that stockpile — bringing us one step closer to a world free from the horrors of chemical weapons," Biden said.  The weapons' destruction is a major watershed for Richmond, Kentucky, and Pueblo, Colorado, where an Army depot destroyed the last of its chemical agents last month, AP reported.  The US had a September 30 deadline to eliminate its remaining chemical weapons under the International Chemical Weapons Convention, which took effect in 1997 and was joined by 193 countries.  The munitions being destroyed in Kentucky are the last of 51,000 M55 rockets with GB nerve agent — a deadly toxin also known as sarin — that have been stored at the depot since the 1940s. Now, the US is officially underscoring that these types of weapons are no longer acceptable in the battlefield and sending a message to the handful of countries that haven't joined the agreement, according to the military experts.  Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said, “Chemical weapons are responsible for some of the most horrific episodes of human loss.

Joe Biden led United States administration is likely to announce that US will provide Ukraine a new military aid package that will include cluster munitions for the first time, according to several international reports.  However, it is to be noted that cluster ammunitions also entail considerable controversy all over the world, one being banned in Australia and 120 other countries. Russia, Ukraine and US have declined to sign the treaty under the Convention on Cluster Munitions in 2008.
