Russian forces had toughened to two strategic Ukrainian seaports. They pressed their bombardment of Ukraine’s second-biggest city. At the same time, the substantial armoured column threatening Kyiv appeared stalled outside the capital.
On Wednesday, the UN General Assembly voted at an emergency session to demand an immediate stop to Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Even to ask for the withdrawal of all Russian troops. In addition, sustained applause broke out after a formidable show of support among the 193 member nations against the invasion.
- India sat on the fence on the resolution and reiterated that differences could only be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy.
“Russia had captured Kherson,” Russia’s defence ministry said Wednesday morning. Although, a few hours later, one of the advisers to President Volodymyr Zelensky responded that the Ukrainian side was continuing to defend the location.
The Kharkiv is witnessing bombardment even as the Kremlin faces increasing isolation on the world stage. As per the reports, Russian troops have seized Ukraine’s Kherson, a prominent and vital city.
- On Wednesday, The UN [United Nations] human rights office said that it is confirmed that till now, 227 civilians had been killed and 525 injured in Ukraine through midnight on Monday following Russia’s invasion of its neighbour.
Russia reported its military casualties for the first time since the invasion began last week, saying nearly 500 of its troops have been killed and almost 1,600 wounded. Ukraine, however, claimed that over 7,000 Russian servicemen had been killed since last Thursday. It did not disclose its military losses but said more than 2,000 civilians had died.
