After Russia promised to retaliate for Ukraine's attack on the Crimean bridge, Odessa was bombed two nights in a row. In the main Ukrainian grain export port, 12 civilians were wounded during the attack, including a nine-year-old child.
Moscow does not reveal whether it intends to seize Odessa. There is a fear in Kiev that this port city on the Black Sea could suffer the fate of Mariupol. As the world faces its worst famine in decades, Ukraine is unable to export some 20 million tons of stored grain because Russian troops block its ports
At least five people were killed and twenty wounded in a Russian rocket attack on Odessa.
The military command in Kiev no longer excludes the possibility that military forces stationed in the pro-Russian Republic of Transnistria, which is formally part of Moldova, but de facto controlled by Moscow, could be involved in the armed conflicts in the southeast of Ukraine.

The port city of Mariupol has been the scene of heavy fighting since the beginning of the Russian invasion on February 24. Due to its strategic importance, despite the great suffering of the civilian population, the Ukrainian Defense Forces are putting up a tough resistance. The Russians did not dare to enter the city, which had over 400.000 people before the war, with ground troops.
The Ukrainian armed forces have survived for two weeks, but are now fragmented into smaller tactical formations that will apparently provide a tough defense. Ukrainian artillery has unusually high results, especially in surprise attacks on large columns of Russian equipment. A great support for the Ukrainians is the constant intelligence support of NATO since the first day of the fighting
