In an evening address Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky insisted there is no "lull" in the Ukrainian counteroffensive.

Some time ago, the Russians removed their equipment from the city of Melitopol and placed it right on the shore of the estuary,” Mayor Ivan Fedorov said on Ukraine’s national TV. The primary tasks are providing people with water, electricity, firewood and building materials,” Serhii Khlan, a Ukrainian military advisor, said on national TV Sunday. “The enemy is regrouping troops in separate directions, looking for ways to pull up reserves, and conducting aerial reconnaissance.

“With its successes on the ground and online, Ukraine has fundamentally changed modern warfare.” Millions of tons of grain and other foodstuffs have been exported under the deal so far, including to Africa. On Saturday Grossi described the situation at Zaporizhzhia as “still precarious.” Russia has launched “several thousand” long-range missiles since February, the UK said. Poland and the Baltic states said this month they would impose tough restrictions on visas issued to Russian citizens. The New York Times, citing Ukrainian officials, reported that Ukraine had levelled a cotton mill in Kherson used as a Russian base and was focusing on supply lines used by Moscow’s forces. Ukraine continues to press its offensive in the northeastern region, and has had the left bank of the Oskil River under its control since Saturday, military officials said. Russian troops shelled a psychiatric hospital in the Kharkiv region, close to the Russian border, as they evacuated, killing four doctors, the region’s governor said. Social media footage overnight from Kherson showed a firefight in the streets and around the city’s railway station. “This is not something we are considering at the moment,” Richard Marles told ABC’s Insiders programme on Sunday. The General Staff also claimed that during the recent retreat in the Kharkiv region some Russian military units lost 50% to 90% of their personnel. Russian pop legend Alla Pugacheva joined the ranks of Kremlin critics after publishing a rare political post to her 3.4 million Instagram followers.
