- Moscow controls at least 80 percent of Donetsk, according to the report, and taking the entire region is among the Kremlin’s central objectives.

- In Ukrainian long-range drone attacks on Ozon facilities in Orenburg and Samara, the company said more than 300 and more than 500 employees respectively were evacuated.
