Is the war entering a new phase? Ukraine reinforces Donetsk as it seeks to disrupt Russia's weapons flow Share Ukraine reinforces Donetsk as it seeks to disrupt Russia's weapons flow on social media Ukraine has reinforced the defence of its eastern Donetsk region as Russia mounted renewed efforts to seize Sloviansk, a key part of Ukraine's "fortress belt" of cities that include Kramatorsk, Druzhkivka and Kostiantynivka. At the same time, Britain and France made a crucial decision to transfer Storm Shadow cruise missile technology to Kyiv, as Ukraine shifts its air defence strategy to destroying Russia's means of ballistic missile production and launch, rather than intercepting the missiles individually. Russia has also been infiltrating the fortress city of Kostiantynivka to the south of Sloviansk, but does not control it. Ukrainian military observer Kostyantyn Mashovets said Kyiv still maintains positions in central and northern Kostiantynivka.

Russia's second-biggest online retailer targeted in Ukrainian strikes

BBC News

Russia's second-biggest online retailer targeted in Ukrainian strikes Warehouses belonging to Russia's second-largest online retailer have been hit by a wave of Ukrainian drone strikes. Ozon said its logistics facilities in the southern regions of Krasnodar, Dagestan, Stavropol and Adygea were on fire and several people had been injured following overnight strikes. Ukraine has for weeks struck sites belonging to Wildberries, the country's biggest online retailer, describing the firm as a legitimate target because it supplied components to the military, which Moscow denies. Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that Ukraine had opened Pandora's box by striking economic targets and that Russia would hit back at Kyiv's most sensitive economic sectors. Russia has targeted Ukraine's civilian infrastructure since launching its full-scale invasion in 2022, and recent Russian attacks have hit Ukrainian warehouses and cargo terminals. Both Russia and Ukraine deny deliberately targeting civilians.

Is the war entering a new phase? At least five people have been killed and 11 others injured in Russian attacks on Ukraine, authorities said. A Russian drone attack on a bus in the front-line city of Kherson killed at least four people and wounded four others on Wednesday, Kherson regional Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said. In a post on the Telegram app, Prokudin said the wounded had been taken to hospital. He posted blurred photos of a yellow bus with bloodied steps and shattered windows.
