    • Russia says it captured a southern Ukraine village in a push before winter comes

    KYIV, Ukraine -

    Russia said Monday it captured the village of Levadne in southern Ukraine as it probes for weaknesses along the war 's roughly 1,000-kilometre (600-mile) front line, including in eastern areas that are the main focus of Moscow's military effort before winter arrives.

    Ukrainian authorities, meanwhile, reported no nighttime Shahed drone attacks on the country for the first time in about six weeks, after saying five days ago they struck a Shahed storage facility in Russia's Krasnodar region where around 400 drones reportedly were being kept.

    Levadne, in the Zaporizhzhia region, was seized by the Russians early on during the full-scale invasion, which began on Feb. 24, 2022, but was recaptured by Ukrainian forces during a counteroffensive in the summer of 2023.

    Ukrainian officials made no comment about Levadne's reported capture, though they had previously noted that the Russian army was assembling troops there and was conducting local assaults at the end of last week.

    Ukraine's troops are straining to hold back Russia's military might, especially in the eastern Donetsk region, and don't have the manpower or weaponry to launch their own offensive. Though Russia's gains have been incremental, its steady forward movement is slowly adding up as the Ukrainians are pushed backward.

    In his nightly address, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was briefed on Russia's autumn and winter plans for attacking Ukraine and said North Korea was supporting Moscow.

    Ukraine says it needs more Western help to have a chance of holding back Russia's invasion.

    Zelenskyy said Monday that Ukraine's victory plan will be publicly presented to Kyiv's European partners and he dubbed it a strategy to compel Russia to come to a "just end to this war."

    Details of the plan have not been disclosed, but Zelenskyy has said the plan is about strengthening Ukraine "both geopolitically and on the battlefield" before any kind of dialogue with Russia.

    Russia illegally annexed four regions of Ukraine, including Zaporizhzhia, in September 2022. Russian President Vladimir Putin has demanded the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from all four regions as the main condition for a prospective peace deal -- a demand Ukraine and the West have rejected.

    Last week, the Ukrainian General Staff reported a direct hit on the Shahed drone warehouse inside Russia.

    "The destruction of the Shahed drone storage base will significantly reduce the ability of Russian occupiers to terrorize peaceful residents of Ukrainian cities and villages," it said at the time.

    Ukrainian officials are keen to show the West that they aren't giving up the fight against their much bigger neighbor. An incursion into Russia's Kursk border region has put Ukrainian troops on Russian soil for more than two months.

    The Russians are managing to retake some territory in Kursk but the Ukrainians are capturing even more, according to Oleksandr Kovalenko, a military analyst from Information Resistance, a Kyiv-based think tank.

    He told The Associated Press that the onset of winter fog and rain will affect the use of drones -- an important element in Ukraine's military strategy.

    Ukraine has deployed sophisticated long-range drones to strike targets inside Russia, including airfields, oil refineries and ammunition depots.

    The Ukrainian Main Directorate of Intelligence said Monday that it destroyed a Russian military transport aircraft, a Tu-134, at a military airfield in Russia's Orenburg region.

    Russia, meanwhile, struck port infrastructure in the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa with a ballistic missile Monday, killing one person and wounding eight others, as well as damaging two merchant ships, officials said.

    The attack damaged grain storage facilities, cargo cranes, administrative buildings, port equipment and vehicles, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister for Restoration Oleksii Kuleba said on his Telegram channel.

    Recent attacks on Odesa port facilities appear intended to disrupt the country's exports of grains and other food staples.
