The Russians leave the Chernobyl zone, ‘target’ Donbas

Russia has continued to withdraw some troops from Kiev to Belarus. The focus is now on the Donbas region, but Ukrainian forces must be ready for a possible return and increased attacks on the country.

Russia wants to resupply and strengthen its offensive in Luhansk and Donetsk, but while maintaining pressure on Kiev and other cities, there may be additional operations in the coming days, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said today.

The bombings have increased in Chernihiv. 20 people, soldiers and civilians have been presented to the hospital after the wounds received during the last 24 hours, says the mayor of the city.

Successive attacks in Kharkiv have prevented the opening of evacuation corridors, according to the governor.

The death toll from the bombing of the building where Mykolaiv’s governor’s office was located on Tuesday has risen to 20. 33 civilians were injured in the blast that destroyed half of the building.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in his video message to the Belgian parliament, focused on the humanitarian crisis in Mariupol, as he calls it. Thousands of people have been killed and everyone needs to understand the catastrophe that is happening there, Zelensky said.

The southern port city has been the scene of the heaviest bombing and the consequences are visible everywhere. The Red Cross says it is working to achieve the safe passage of civilians from Mariupol on Friday.

Zelensky also reacted after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s statement that he would no longer sell gas to countries that refuse to pay in rubles. Peace is the only thing that matters in these moments, he said.

Peace is more valuable than diamonds, than agreements with Russia, than Russian ships in European ports, more important than any barrel of Russian oil. “You know what needs to be done to restore peace, so help us.”
