“Konstantinivka is constantly experiencing enemy shelling – it’s dangerous to stay in the city! I encourage everyone: be responsible! Evacuate!” Moroz wrote.
A car bomb in the Russia-held town Nova Kakhovka, Ukraine has killed a Russian politician, according to the region’s Russia-installed governor.
Vladimir Malov, an executive secretary in the United Russia party, died in the hospital on Saturday after the explosion. Vladimir Saldo, the Russia-installed governor, confirmed Malov’s death on Telegram.
“The doctors did everything they could, but the wounds and injuries were too severe,” Saldo wrote.
Ukraine is believed to have retaken at least 77 square miles of territory over the summer, the British Ministry of Defense said. It notes that fighting has quieted to the west of Vuhledar, a town in the Donetsk Oblast region.
Ukraine’s progression in once Russian-controlled areas has also stopped Russia from providing reinforcements in those areas.
