Russia-Ukraine War: The Ukrainian army claimed tonight (between Saturday and Sunday) that 60 Russian soldiers were killed in an artillery attack, the “Reuters” news agency reported. This is the second time in less than a week that Ukraine claims to have caused large losses among the Russian army. In the meantime, officials in the Ukrainian army said that “Russia suffered the losses on Thursday, when the army shelled sites south of Kherson.
The report from Ukraine comes after Ukraine claimed last Thursday that it faced fierce attacks in the east by Russian forces reinforced by forces that had withdrawn from Harson in the south. The Ukrainians claimed that about 50 Russian soldiers were killed or wounded in a long-range Ukrainian artillery attack.
Meanwhile, Russia continued its attack on the capital Kyiv this week. As a result of the bombing of the city, eyewitnesses reported that they saw smoke billowing over the city and also stated that the missiles hit buildings inhabited by civilians. Following the bombing, in Ukraine it was reported that large parts of the capital city remained without electricity supply.
Alerts in Kyiv were activated shortly after the video message given by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky at the meeting of the leaders of the G20 countries. Andriy Yarmak, Ukraine’s presidential chief of staff, said after the bombing: “Russia is responding to Zelensky’s speech with a new missile attack. Did anyone seriously think that the Kremlin wants peace? They want obedience. At the end of the day, terrorists will always lose.”
The distribution comes after earlier today Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky presented a ten-point peace plan that should bring an end to the Russian invasion of the country. In a recorded speech to the leaders of the G20 countries, who are participating in the summit being held in Bali, the capital of Indonesia, Zelenskiy called on them to use all force to stop “Russia’s nuclear threats” and impose a price limit on energy imports from Moscow. He also called on Russia to stop bombing the energy infrastructure in Ukraine. Russia did not receive an invitation to participate in the G20 summit this year due to the invasion of Ukraine.
