#Russia has upper hand in Severodonetsk

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says that Russian forces have the upper hand in Severodonetsk, while Kiev’s troops are trying to stop the fall of the eastern city.

#The Kremlin accuses Bulgaria, Northern Macedonia, and Montenegro of “hostile action” after preventing the Russian foreign minister from reaching Serbia by closing their airspace to his jet.

#At least 32 journalists have been killed in Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian war, according to Ukraine’s Minister for Culture and Information Policy.

#Moscow cautions that it will respond to Western deliveries of long-range weapons to Ukraine by pushing Kiev forces away from the Russian border.
