In Ukraine, they continue to resist the Russian attacks with all their might. The city of Mykolaiv is now imposing a two-day curfew to catch Ukrainians cooperating with the Russians. Meanwhile, eight people have been killed in an attack on a bus stop in Donetsk.
The general curfew in the southern Ukrainian port city is in effect from Friday 11pm local time (10pm CEST) to Monday 5am local time (4am CEST). “The city is closed on weekends, so buy water and groceries on time. We are working on it, including on employees,” Governor Vitaly Kim said in a video message on Friday.
Reward for useful information
The governor had already announced the lockdown in July. The 41-year-old also offered a bonus of the equivalent of nearly 100 euros for information about artillery observers directing Russian fire at objects in the city.
Mykolayiv is almost daily bombarded with rockets from a distance of about 25 kilometers by the Russian army. According to the authorities, almost exclusively civilian objects are hit. Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24. Before the war, the city had almost 500,000 inhabitants.
Russian claims failed
According to Ukrainian sources, Russian forces have launched a major offensive in the Donetsk region. With the fighting, the Russian forces are trying to put themselves in a good position to take the cities of Soledar and Bakhmut and extend their control to the area west of Donetsk. However, according to the General Staff, the Russian advances so far have failed.
Still, civilians are being killed again – according to Ukrainian information, shots were fired at a bus stop in the city of Torezk. According to initial information, the stop was hit by artillery shells. Eight people were killed and four others were injured. Three children are said to be among the injured.
