Dozens of Russian missiles hit military facilities across Ukraine

Dozens of Russian missiles have rained down on military facilities in western and northern Ukraine, local officials said.

Six missiles were fired from the Black Sea at the Yavoriv base in the Lviv region in western Ukraine, governor Maxim Kozytskyi said in a video posted online.

Vitaliy Bunechko, governor of the Zhytomyr region in the north of the country, said strikes on a military target killed at least one soldier. “Nearly 30 missiles were launched at one military infrastructure facility very near to the city of Zhytomyr,” Bunechko said, adding that nearly 10 missiles had been intercepted and destroyed.

In the Chernihiv region, also in the north, governor Vyacheslav Chaus said the small town of Desna, which is home to a training centre for Ukraine’s infantry forces, had come under fire. Chaus did not specify what had been hit, but said there had been “infrastructure damage.” There were no casualties, he added.

Ukrainian forces have been ordered to withdraw from the key battleground city of Severodonetsk after weeks of fierce street fighting, in order to limit further casualties and regroup.

Luhansk governor Serhiy Haidai said that “it is now a situation where it makes no sense to hold out in battered positions”.

UK fears Ukraine will be coerced to make a ‘bad peace’: PM

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he feared Ukraine could face pressure to agree to a peace deal with Russia that was not in its interests, due to the economic consequences of the war in Europe.

“Too many countries are saying this is a European war that is unnecessary … and so the pressure will grow to encourage – coerce, maybe – the Ukrainians to a bad peace,” he told broadcasters in the Rwandan capital, Kigali, where he was attending a Commonwealth summit.

Severodonetsk: Russia has full control of eastern city, Ukraine says

Taking the city means Russia now controls nearly all of Luhansk region and much of neighbouring Donetsk - the two regions that form the industrial Donbas.

Both the Russian and Ukrainian military also confirm that Russian forces control the Severodonetsk suburb of Syrotyne and two small towns just south of it: Voronove and Borivske.

Early on Saturday Russia launched a barrage of missiles at targets in the north and west of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian military says the attacks included - for the first time - missiles fired from Tu-22 bombers flying over Belarus to the north.

On Saturday Russian President Vladimir Putin met his Belarusian ally Alexander Lukashenko in St Petersburg and pledged to deliver nuclear-capable Iskander-M missiles to Belarus.

Mr Putin told President Lukashenko "in the next few months we'll give Belarus tactical Iskander-M missile complexes, which can fire ballistic and cruise missiles, both conventional and nuclear types", Russian RBC news reported.

Mr Lukashenko asked for Russia to make Belarusian warplanes nuclear-capable, and Mr Putin said Belarusian Su-25 fighter jets would be upgraded.
