Russia today for the first time since April fired on the Ukrainian capital Kiev. The districts of Darnica and Dnipro were hit by missiles. At least one person is injured.

Four rockets have been confirmed to have hit the Darnica wagon repair plant. Russia’s defense ministry has said the attack destroyed a hangar containing tanks and other armored equipment supplied to Ukraine by European countries.

Oleksandr Kamishin, the head of the Ukrainian state railway company, said that the Russian Ministry of Defense was lying because there was no military equipment in the territory of the wagon factory.

He also invited members of the media to visit the factory to see.

The United States announced this week that hand over HIMARS reactive artillery systems to Ukraine, whose most powerful missiles can reach targets within 300 kilometers. However, it is expected that Ukrainians will receive high accuracy missiles with a range of up to 70 kilometers.

The delivery of these HIMARS systems to Ukraine, according to Putin, did not change anything, but threatened that if Ukraine received long-range missiles from Western allies, Russia would attack new targets in Ukraine – “those objects that we have not yet struck” .

Street fighting between Ukrainian defenders and Russian invaders continues in the eastern Ukrainian city of Severodonetsk. The Ukrainians have managed to control part of the city territory, says Serhiy Hayday, head of the civilian-military administration in the Luhansk region.

“The Russians controlled about 70% of the city, but in the last two days they were pushed back, so now Severodonecka is divided in half. The Russians are afraid to move around the city freely. I think they believed in their propaganda that the city has almost fallen. In recent days they have suffered great loss of life, we have also received eight prisoners, which is what always happens to the Russian army. “or take full control of Severodonetsk by June 10, or completely cut off the Lysichansk-Bahmut highway and take control of it.

British military intelligence has confirmed that the Ukrainian armed forces have counterattacked in Severodoneck in the last 24 hours.

Russian forces are firing heavily on the town of Lysichansk, neighboring Severodonetsk. Several buildings in the city center were fired on last night, including a humanitarian center that housed more than 40 civilians. Despite the shootings, Ukrainian soldiers have managed to evacuate 66 civilians from Lysichansk, Hayday said.

The families of the last defenders of occupied Mariupol have called on the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross and other international organizations to step up pressure on Russia to improve the conditions of detention of Azov soldiers. Ekaterina, the wife of Azov commander Denis Prokopenko, claims that she has not received a message from her husband for a week.
