Russia reports a success in the east of Ukraine. The Russian army took the city Kostjantyniwka. President Wladimir Putin thanks his soldiers. This city is very important. This means it is strategic. Russia can attack more cities from there. Ukraine does not say yes to this yet. The army leaders only report heavy fighting. Kostjantyniwka was a goal for the army for a long time.
There was a bad attack in the north of Ukraine. Russian bombs hit the city center of Sumy. At least 4 people died. Children are among the dead. Many people are hurt. Kiev had a day of mourning. 30 people died there in an old attack. President Selenskyj asks for more help now.
There are also problems on the peninsula Crimea. Ukraine uses drones against the power network. Many parts have no power now. Ukraine also attacks airfields. Planes are broken or destroyed. Ukraine blows up a big bridge. This stops the Nach-Schub for the soldiers. Russia does not confirm the damage.
