Dispatches from Ukraine. Day 255. As Russia’s attack on Ukraine continues and the war rages on, reliable sources of information are critical.

Forbes gathers information and provides updates on the situation. By Polina Rasskazova Recently, American businessman Howard Buffett— son of billionaire investor Warren Buffett— met with the head of the Kharkiv Regional State Administration , Oleh Synyehubov. Howard Buffett discussed the financing of funds participating in the de-mining of the region, the restoration of critical infrastructure, and crisis assistance in case of emergency situations during the winter period.

Synyehubov noted that the main task is to speed up the de-mining process, because the Kharkiv region was heavily mined by Russian troops, and local residents of the de-occupied territories suffer from detonations almost every day. “The United States of America and the Buffett Foundation are reliable partners of Ukraine and the Kharkiv region in particular. Howard believes in our victory and constantly supports projects to restore our country.

Appreciate this help,” said Synyehubov. Iran’s foreign minister acknowledged that his country has supplied Russia with drones before Moscow’s war on Ukraine, the Associated Press reports . “We gave a limited number of drones to Russia months before the Ukraine war,” Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, told reporters after a meeting in Tehran on Saturday.

As he acknowledged the shipment, Amirabdollahian claimed that Iran was oblivious to the use of its drones in Ukraine. He added that the Iranian side agreed with the Ukrainian foreign minister that Ukraine would provide any evidence about Russia’s use of Iranian drones in Ukraine. There has been direct evidence in recent weeks of Iranian drone technology being used by Russian forces against Ukrainian military and civilian targets.

Russia has already lost twice as many planes in Ukraine than in it did during its 10-year war in Afghanistan. “During the full-scale aggression, defenders of Ukraine destroyed twice as many Russian aircraft as the Soviet Union lost during the 10-year war in Afghanistan — 278 russian aircraft in Ukraine against 118 Soviet aircraft in Afghanistan,” reported the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi. “This war is the same shame for the Russian Federation and will cause its destruction!” he added.
