Ukraine struck a Russian Iskander-M missile launcher near Moscow, reducing the threat of ballistic missiles, per United24Media.

The strike occurred as Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov was snubbed at the G20 summit in Atlanta, with no formal invitation extended to him, The Guardian reports.

Russia's oldest independent newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, announced its closure, a significant moment for press freedom in the country, according to The Moscow Times.

Meanwhile, Putin said Moscow seeks better European ties, warning that the war with Ukraine will produce no winners, Reuters notes.
