Continuous attacks occur despite the comments of US President Donald Trump about the absence of Russian President Vladimir Putin until August 8, a shorter deadline than the 50 days that Trump initially cited, to make peace with Ukraine.
Trump said Thursday that Steve Witkoff’s special envoy went to Russia to push Moscow to accept a cease-fire, and threatened new economic sanctions if progress is not made.
The Russian forces would now control almost 20% of Ukraine in East and South 3 and a half years after the war.
