The press service of Ukraine’s Operational Command South reported this on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.Ĭyprus has cracked down on those named by the US and Britain for allegedly helping Russian oligarchs bypass sanctions on Moscow because of the Ukraine war, an official said. Ukraine’s operational command has reported that 11 Russian warships are in combat readiness in the Black Sea, including two submarines armed with Kalibr cruise missiles. Ukraine plans to deploy software from the US data analytics provider Palantir Technologies to help it prosecute alleged war crimes committed by Russia, the company has said. It made the announcement exactly four weeks after Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, said Russia would station tactical nuclear weapons in neighbouring Belarus. Units from Belarus returned home from Russia on Saturday after training on how to use the Iskander tactical missile system to launch nuclear weapons, the Belarusian defence ministry said. “We urgently need a group of countries to sit round a table with both Ukraine and Russia,” he said after a meeting with the Portuguese president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, in Lisbon. The precautionary evacuations ended later in the day, said Belgorod’s mayor, Valentin Demidov.īrazil’s president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has again refused to take sides in the war in Ukraine, calling for a “negotiated political solution” between Kyiv and Moscow. The province’s governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said on Saturday that sappers examining the blast site found and detonated an “explosive object” that was “in the immediate vicinity of residential buildings”. The explosion on Thursday injured three people in the city near the Ukrainian border. Seventeen apartment buildings were evacuated in the Russian city of Belgorod after an explosive device was found at the site blown up by a bomb accidentally dropped by a Russian warplane, authorities said. Russia confirmed it would expel 20 German diplomats in retaliation for its own diplomats being sent home from Berlin, the Tass news agency said, citing Russia’s foreign ministry. Troops who have continued into the heavily contested city are thought to be part of the Wagner group of mercenaries. Russia’s defence ministry claimed it had captured another three districts in the western part of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine. One missile hit a house in the village of Kotliary, just to the south of Kharkiv, while another caused a fire in the city itself, said the regional governor, Oleh Sinegubov. At least five Russian missiles hit the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv and surrounding districts late on Saturday night, damaging civilian buildings, local officials said.
