00:00Day 1,253 of the Russia-Ukraine war begins with tragedy in Kyiv.
00:05Russian drone debris struck a residential area,
00:08sparking a gas fire and killing at least four people.
00:11Elsewhere, a missile slammed into a Ukrainian military training site,
00:15leaving three soldiers dead and 18 injured.
00:18And in the south, Russian shelling targeted firefighters
00:21just after they put out a blaze in Orkiv.
00:24Thankfully, no injuries were reported there.
00:27But the tension doesn't stop on the battlefield.
00:28Ukraine has arrested an Air Force major accused of spying for Russia.
00:33He allegedly leaked locations of prized Western fighter jets,
00:37the F-16S and Mirage 2000s.
00:40A chilling reminder of how deep espionage runs in modern war.
00:44On the diplomacy front,
00:45President Zelensky revealed talks of a massive arms deal with the U.S.
00:49He even mentioned President Trump by name,
00:52a rare move suggesting high-stakes negotiation.
00:55Meanwhile, Italy summoned Russia's ambassador.
00:57Why?
00:58Because Moscow accused Italian President Mattarella of anti-Russian sentiment.
01:03And Russia shrugged off Trump's threat of sanctions,
01:06claiming it's immune to economic pressure.
01:09Amid all this, a new threat rises.
01:11A massive locust swarm is destroying Ukraine's crops.
01:15And because the war blocs pest control access,
01:17the farmland fight may soon rival the front line.
01:19The farmland fight may soon rival the front line.
