The communities of Myropillia, Khotin, Bilopillia, Krasnopillia, Yunakivka, Shalyhyne, and Novoslobidske were targeted by Russian attacks, according to the administration.

In total, officials recorded 101 explosions from mortars, artillery, mines, and grenade launchers in the seven settlements.

Russian shelling in the Krasnopillia community injured two civilians, including a child, and damaged a residential building. One civilian was killed and one was injured as a result of shelling in the Yunakivka community.

In the Miropillia community, a private house and garage premises were damaged as a result of shelling.

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.
