Russian troops attacked the Volnovakha and Pokrovsk districts in Donetsk Oblast on July 1, killing one person and injuring seven others, Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor Office reported.

A 19-year-old man was hospitalized with shrapnel injuries after Russia's attack on the village of Komar in the Volnovakha district, according to prosecutors.

Presumably, Russian UMPB D-30SN bombs killed a 55-year-old woman in the town of Selydove, the prosecutors said. One man who was with her at the time was wounded.

Russian forces also struck the town of Ukrainsk in the Pokrovsk district for the second time in a day with Uragan rocket laucnhers, injuring five people — three women and two men, the prosecutors said.

Settlements in Donetsk Oblast suffer from daily Russian strikes due to their proximity to the front line. Heavy fighting continues in Donetsk Oblast as Russia seeks to occupy the entire region.

Four people were killed and 20 injured in the region over the past day, according to Governor Vadim Filashkin.

Trump says 'nobody is asking' Ukraine to recognize Crimea as Russian.

"Nobody is asking (President Volodymyr) Zelensky to recognize Crimea as Russian Territory, but if he wants Crimea, why didn’t they fight for it eleven years ago when it was handed over to Russia without a shot being fired?" U.S. President Donald Trump wrote.
