The war between Russia and Ukraine reached its eighth day yesterday. Russia’s military says 498 soldiers have been killed and 1,597 wounded in what became known as the Cold War. But the Ukrainian government says thousands have been killed on the Russian side.
The UN says more than 2,000 innocent civilians have been killed in Ukraine and millions have fled the country. Russian troops have launched an offensive on the southern Ukrainian port city of Kersen, the day before yesterday.
Meanwhile, the city of Kerson, with a population of 2.80 million, was reportedly captured by Russian troops. Gershon Mayor Igor Kalikov said on his social media page: Russia has captured Gershon. Curfew has been imposed here. Therefore, people should not come out during the curfew from 8:00 pm to 6:00 am.
If you go out go at least two people. Only cars carrying food and medicine are allowed into the city. Drive vehicles at minimum speed. The city is completely occupied by Russian troops. The situation is very dangerous, he said.
Moreover, Mayor Igor appealed to the Russian military that there were no Ukrainian troops in the city of Gershon and that they should not attack civilians. Russian troops also carried out terrorist attacks in the city of Kharkiv yesterday. It is feared that innocent civilians may have been killed in the attack on residential areas there.
Attack will continue: Russian announcement
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said yesterday that the idea of a nuclear war was only on the minds of Western leaders; The Russian leaders have no such intention. Therefore, I assure you that we will not lose our balance as it will provoke our anger, “he said.
