Here are the latest developments in the war in Ukraine:
– Attack on buildings in eastern Ukraine kills 15 –
Rescuers are recovering 15 bodies after a Russian missile hit an apartment building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Khasiv Yar, officials say.
During the rescue operation, “five people were pulled alive from the rubble,” the local branch of the Ukrainian emergency services said, adding that the rescuers were in contact with three people alive under the rubble.
– “Targeted” strikes against houses in eastern Ukraine –
Russian troops continue shelling eastern Ukraine, the country’s General Staff reports, as Russia seeks to consolidate its hold over the entire Donbass region.
The birthplace of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Kryvyi Rig – an industrial city in central Ukraine – was among the targeted areas.
Russian attacks “absolutely deliberately” and “deliberately” targeted the residential sector, hitting “ordinary houses, civilian objects, people,” says Zelenskyy.
– Canada Returns Russian Gas Pipeline Turbines –
Canada says it will return turbines needed to service the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline to Germany, while Russia awaits the arrival of the equipment before ramping up supplies.
Germany is trying to bolster dwindling energy supplies, but Ukraine has accused Berlin of giving in to Russian “blackmail” after Moscow blamed reduced supplies on repairs rather than market conditions amid the Ukraine war.
– Russia blocks website of German daily newspaper Die Welt –
Russia blocks the website of the German daily newspaper Die Welt after it was included in a growing list of banned websites by the regulator, Russian news outlets report.
Access was denied to users following a request from prosecutors, they add.
From the beginning of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, the German newspaper published content in Russian, as most independent information was suppressed in Russia.
– US sees Russia’s food blockade as a factor in Sri Lanka –
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Russia’s restrictions on Ukraine’s grain exports may have contributed to recent unrest in Sri Lanka sparked by severe food and fuel shortages.
“We see the effects of this Russian aggression everywhere,” Blinken told reporters in Bangkok.
Renewing a demand he has repeatedly made, he is urging Russia to let an estimated 20 million tons of grain leave Ukraine, which Moscow invaded in February.
