«In the east and south of our state, the occupiers have been trying to attack a little more thoughtfully lately than before. The losses have already killed so many Russian servicemen that even they have to be more careful, because there is no one left to attack. However, let them not hope that this will help them» – said Zelensky.

WORLD: The United States will continue to increase sanctions pressure on the Russian Federation.

The United States will use instruments of economic and financial pressure, primarily against the Russian military-industrial complex, to destroy any opportunity for Russia to rebuild its capabilities during the war in Ukraine.

This was stated by US Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeem.

For a week she hitchhiked to Bucha to find the body of her son killed by the occupiers: the story of a 70-year-old mother

During the occupation of Bucha near Kyiv, Russians killed the son of 70-year-old Nadiya Trubchaninova, whose body she had been searching for a week to bury.

It is noted that Ms. Nadiya did not leave the Kyiv region, which was partially and temporarily occupied by the enemy, just to take her child on the last earthly journey. Every day the woman hitchhiked from her village to the ruined Bucha, hoping to find her son. And a week later she finally found him.

Ms. Nadiya spent more than a week trying to get her son home for a proper burial. The funeral took place on Saturday

It is worth noting that in Bucha, Gostomel, Irpen, Borodyanka and other settlements that were under Russian occupation, the investigation into the mass use of torture, sexual violence, and killings of civilians continues.
