UKRAINE: Ukraine has identified the most «alarming» areas since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. The siren sounded the most often in the Luhansk region – more than 24 days.

Soldiers of the Royal Brigade liquidated another batch of mercenaries of the Russian private military company «League»–formerly «Wagner Gruop»–near Popasna in Luhansk region.

The occupiers are unable to advance towards Zaporizhia, where there is a major nuclear plant, so they are attacking the region with missiles, trying to disrupt infrastructure, mainly transport.

Putin’s horde has amassed a lot of equipment and personnel, and the situation is very difficult, but the military is not only defending, but also counter attacking if possible.

WORLD: Nobody wants to see the beginning of the Third World War»: China called for support for a peaceful settlement in Ukraine.

«Russia has military plans for us»: Estonian ambassador to Ukraine spoke about threats from the aggressor country.

EU Commissioner for Economic Affairs Paolo Gentiloni said that by the end of the year the European Union wants to reduce its dependence on Russian oil and gas by two thirds.

In Mariupol, the Russian occupiers are forcing local men to dismantle debris and dig mass graves for food

In Mariupol, despite the occupiers’ claims about food and water, the humanitarian situation remains difficult and food is scarce.

The occupiers of the aggressor country provide food for men in case of involvement in the work. Thus, the people of Mariupol are forced to take part in dismantling the rubble or arranging mass graves to earn a living.

The adviser to the mayor of Mariupol Petro Andryushchenko reported about it.

According to him, «without excesses» men go for it «so as not to die of starvation.»

In addition, medical care is not available in the city. The Russian occupiers announced the opening of the first «hospital» in the premises of the dental center «Apollonia» in the Left Bank.

«This probably speaks the most about the real preparedness of the occupiers, their care for civilians and the real state of other hospitals in the city,» he said.
