    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Recapturing cities like Tokmak, and a further advance on to Melitipol, will be a daunting task for a Ukrainian counteroffensive that has made incremental gains since it launched earlier this summer.

    Kyiv got more welcome news Friday as the United States has given the green light for the Netherlands to deliver F-16s to Ukraine, a major gain for the country that has long sought the U.S.-made fighter jets to counteract Russian superiority in the air.

    Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra confirmed the approval from Washington in a post on social media.

    This comes as the Pentagon told CBS News on Thursday that the Biden administration is willing to host training on F-16 fighter jets in the United States for Ukrainian pilots if additional capacity is needed.

    Meanwhile, Russian officials claimed on Friday that air defenses stopped drone attacks on central Moscow and on the country’s ships in the Black Sea.

    Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin claimed some of the fragments fell on the grounds of the Expocentre, a building located in close proximity to the Moscow City commercial and office complex that has been struck twice by drones in the past month.
