UPDATE ON THE SITUATION IN UKRAINE
- Ukrainian authorities claimed that the Russian army struck the southern regions of Mykolaiv and Odessa. “The enemy has again attacked the Odessa region with drones,” regional governor Oleg Kiper said on Telegram early Monday. “Energy infrastructure has been damaged and there is no electricity in parts of (the city of) Odessa,” he added. Eleven people were injured in Mykolaiv, in the south of the country, following a Russian drone attack, Ukrainian army spokesperson Nataliya Gumenyuk said in an interview with the national television.
- In Russia, a fire broke out at a major power plant in the Rostov region, the local governor said, following a series of Ukrainian drone attacks in the region. Two units at the Novocherkassk power plant, one of the largest in southwestern Russia, have been taken out of service, Governor Vasily Golubev said in a message published on Telegram. The Rostov region (south) borders Ukraine and the regional capital is an important center for planning Russian military operations.
- The Ukrainian armed forces claimed in the morning that they had “managed to hit the amphibious ships Yamal and Azov, as well as a communications center and other infrastructure of the Russian Black Sea Fleet”. Footage shared on social media showed a large explosion in the city, sending a fireball and black smoke into the air, as well as what appeared to be Russian air defenses intercepting incoming projectiles. Satellite images show that Russia has moved a large part of its fleet further east, towards the port of Novorossiysk. Moscow also recently replaced its navy chief.
- kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, and the western region of Lviv were also targets of a “massive” air attack early Sunday, officials said, but no casualties were reported. The Ukrainian Air Force said it shot down 18 of 29 missiles and 25 of 28 explosive drones launched overnight. Russia “is not abandoning its goal of destroying kyiv at all costs,” said Sergii Popko, head of the city’s military administration.
- Facing a defensive Ukraine and suffering from delays in additional Western aid, Russian forces are seeking to increase their advantage on the battlefield. In recent days, the Russian army has claimed advances in the east in the sectors of Tchassiv Iar, a locality neighboring Bakhmut, and to the west of Avdiïvka, a town destroyed and conquered by the Russians in February.
- Poland, Ukraine’s ally and neighbor, for its part declared that a Russian cruise missile aimed at western Ukraine had violated its airspace for around forty seconds, the third incident of this type since the start of the war. She announced that she was going to summon the Russian ambassador.
