Russia Steps Up Bombing in West and North

Missile attacks on Ukraine’s north and west overnight were some of the heaviest in months, including bombs launched from Belarus, according to Ukrainian officials. Ukrainian troops are withdrawing from Sievierodonetsk, while Russian forces made some progress in their push toward Lysychansk, the last major holdout in the Luhansk region that Kyiv still controls, local governor Serhiy Haiday said. Ukraine “is likely reconfiguring its defense” of the Sievierodonetsk-Lysychansk sector,” the UK defense ministry said.
