Explosions in Kiev
In the early hours of the morning on Saturday, explosions were heard in Kiev and in the west of Ukraine in Lviv, according to Ukrainian media.
Vitaly Klitschko, mayor of Kyiv, confirmed that the explosion took place in the Darnytsky district, in the southeastern part of the capital on the left bank of the Dnieper.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that it "destroyed the production buildings of the arms factory in Kiev" emphasizing that it was used with "high-precision, long-range air-to-ground weapons."
Zelenski about the fallen soldiers
In the seven-week Russian invasion of Ukraine, two and a half to three thousand Ukrainian soldiers died, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an interview with CNN.
He said that 19 to 20 thousand Russian soldiers died. According to Moscow's data from last month, 1351 Russian soldiers were killed and 3825 were wounded.
"The successes of our army on the battlefield are indeed significant, historically significant, but they are still insufficient to cleanse our country of the occupiers," Zelensky said, adding "we will still defeat them."
Zelenski had no data on the number of civilian victims.
On Friday, police reported that more than 900 civilians were found "simply executed" in the region surrounding Kiev after the withdrawal of Russian forces. The bodies were said to have been left on the street or temporarily buried, and 95 percent died of gunshot wounds.
In tonight's video address, he assessed that Russia lost Ukraine because, he said, it will not be accepted anywhere.
The Russians are strengthening their positions in the Kharkiv region
The General Staff of the Ukrainian Army announced this morning that Russian forces are strengthening their positions around the town of Izyum in Kharkiv Oblast and are preparing to intensify attacks near Avdeyivka in Donetsk Oblast.
It is stated that Russian ships are continuing to blockade the port of Mirijupolj, and that the blockade of Kharkiv and the artillery shelling of the city have continued.
