Russian troops struck the Beryslav district in southern Kherson Oblast with artillery on June 19, wounding three civilians, the regional administration wrote on Telegram.

The village of Burhunka was hit about ten times, and at least five residential buildings and an administrative building were damaged, reads the report. As a result of the attack, two men aged 60 and 48 received injuries and were hospitalized.

Russian forces also hit the village of Shliakhove, heavily wounding a 64-year-old woman and damaging two houses, according to Kherson Oblast Military Administration.

Сeasefire would leave 25% of Ukraine under Russian control, ambassador says.

"Many countries have proposed the idea of a ceasefire, but no one thinks about what it means. Some 25% of Ukrainian territory would remain under Russian control, which means buying time for Russia to strengthen its capabilities and resume its attacks on Ukraine," Ambassador of Ukraine to Turkey Vasyl Bodnar said.
