Budriganenws.com – According to officials, Russia carried out a series of significant attacks across Ukraine on Saturday, destroying a nine-story apartment building in Dnipro and damaging energy infrastructure.
* The number of people killed in the attack on the Dnipro apartment building in east-central Ukraine has increased to 14, according to the regional governor early on Sunday. The attack left 64 people injured and 38 people rescued as rescuers labored through the night to find survivors.
* The regional governor said that Ukrainian forces are fighting to keep Soledar in the eastern Donetsk region of Ukraine under their control, which is in contradiction to Russian claims that Moscow’s forces had taken the small town.
* The accounts could not be verified by Reuters.
In the midst of a simmering dispute with the defense ministry over who should be credited with leading Russia’s assault on Soledar, Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group, boasted of the strength of his forces.
After the most recent round of Russian attacks, missile debris was discovered in Moldova near the western border of Ukraine, according to President Maia Sandu, who blasted “Russia’s brutal war.”
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s office announced that Britain would support Ukraine with 14 Challenger 2 main battle tanks and artillery, despite criticism from the Russian Embassy.
The Ukrainian body that deals with prisoners said that Russia cancelled a planned prisoner exchange at the last minute. This came after Russian Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova said that Russian soldiers had allegedly reported instances of extortion while they were held in Ukraine.
After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida stated that the G7 summit he will host in May should demonstrate a strong determination to uphold the international order and the rule of law.
Dmitry Medvedev, the former president of Russia, said that Kishida was dishonorably subservient to the United States and suggested that he perform a rite of self-embowelment.
German Galushchenko, the Ukrainian energy minister, stated that the upcoming days would be “difficult” on the energy front after a massive Russian missile attack on critical infrastructure on Saturday.
“They continue to send SMSs. “We stop our work from time to time to keep quiet, and we hear people scream from underneath the rubble,” Mikhailo Lysenko, deputy mayor of Dnipro, said of the efforts to rescue the apartment building.
