“We have to stay together because Putin has been counting on from the beginning that somehow NATO and the G7 would splinter.

Everybody here understands that," Johnson said in an interview on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Germany. Vadym Denysenko, an adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs, said on Ukrainian television that there are "a number of military infrastructure facilities located in the Shevchenkivskyi district of the Ukrainian capital. However, Ukrainian forces continue to defend the neighboring city of Lysychansk, which is coming under growing Russian artillery and rocket attacks. Enemy artillery is already reaching certain parts of Sloviansk. This is another confirmation that people should evacuate." He added that on Saturday, Russia had used Tu22M3 long-range bombers from the airspace of Belarus for the first time in a Ukrainian air strike. It's unclear exactly which locations Shoigu visited and whether they were inside Ukraine. They are attacking areas of Donetsk from three directions. "There are people are trapped under the rubble.

Russia fires missiles across Ukraine, cements gains in east (Associated Press)

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian forces were seeking to swallow up the last remaining Ukrainian stronghold in the eastern Luhansk region, pressing their ...

The move will reinforce Ukraine’s efforts to keep Russian forces pinned down in a small area, the official said. He said all of the strikes were aimed at military targets. Some 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) to the west, four Russian cruise missiles fired from the Black Sea hit a “military object” in Yaroviv, Lviv regional governor Maksym Kozytskyy said. Serhiy Haidai, the governor of the Luhansk province, said Friday that Ukrainian troops were retreating from Sievierodonetsk after weeks of bombardment and house-to-house fighting. Russian missiles struck the Yaroviv base in March, killing 35 people. He said the attempt by Ukrainian forces to turn the Azot plant into a “stubborn center of resistance” had been thwarted. During his meeting in St. Petersburg with Lukashenko, Putin told him the Iskander-M missile systems would be arriving in the coming months. Sarny is located about 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of the border with Belarus. A separatist representative, Ivan Filiponenko, said earlier Saturday that its forces evacuated 800 civilians from the plant during the night, Interfax reported. Some of the missiles were fired from Russian long-range Tu-22 bombers deployed from Belarus for the first time, Ukraine’s air command said. There was no immediate comment on the claim from the Ukrainian side. Russian bombardment has reduced most of Sievierodonetsk to rubble and cut its population from 100,000 to 10,000.
