In eastern Ukraine, Russian troops are currently advancing in four sections of the front line. “Fighting is fierce everywhere,” Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malijar wrote on Sunday. The situation is “complicated”.
The enemy advanced in Avdiivka, Marjinka, Lyman and Svatowe. On the other hand, Ukrainian forces are advancing south of the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut and near Berdyansk and Melitopol in southern Ukraine, albeit with “partial success”. he said Malijar.
The Ukrainian capital Kiev was the target of Russian airstrikes for the first time in almost two weeks on Sunday evening. Several homes were damaged by falling debris and one resident was injured. Other parts of Ukraine were also affected by the nightly Russian attacks. According to official information, eight combat drones and three cruise missiles were destroyed across the country. Later on Sunday, Ukrainian authorities also reported shelling in Kherson. Several civilians were also injured in a residential area there.
Zelenskyi: “Enemy will not dictate terms”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed in Odessa on Sunday that he wants to liberate the currently occupied areas in the south of his country. “The enemy will certainly not dictate the conditions in the Black Sea. And the occupiers will be afraid to approach our Ukrainian Crimea and our coasts on the Sea of Azov.” The Crimean peninsula was annexed in 2014 and Russian troops eventually occupied the Ukrainian cities on the Sea of Azov during the war.
In Odessa, Zelenskyi met commanders and a wounded soldier in the hospital (see video above). The president published videos of it on Telegram.
