"The occupiers were trying to establish a base there... but did it help them?"

Ukrainian armed forces are advancing in the region step by step,'' he stressed.

Whatever Russia promises, it always finds a way not to fulfill, said the Ukrainian president, quoted by BTA.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken also condemned the Russian missile strikes, saying they "cast serious doubt" on Moscow's commitments and "undermine the work of the UN, Turkey and Ukraine to send vital food products to world markets".
