Fighting

  • At least one person was killed after Russian forces launched “massive” air raids on the Ukrainian port city of Odesa, according to officials.
  • Russian forces claimed the capture of the settlements of Hlushkivka in Ukraine’s eastern Kharkiv region and Sydorivka in the Sumy region, according to Russian state media.
  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian energy infrastructure is “a legitimate target” for Ukrainian strikes, because Russia’s energy sector is a source of funds for the production of weapons.
  • Zelenskyy also said that in the past week, Russia had launched more than 2,000 attack drones, 1,200 guided aerial bombs, and 116 missiles of various types at Ukraine’s cities and villages.
