Kyiv. It’s been 38 days since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. On the morning of the 38th day of the war, Ukrainian President Voldimir Zelensky warned the people of his country about the withdrawal of Russian forces. He said Russian troops retreating from the capital had created a major disaster on its outskirts. Zelensky said they had left landmines all over the area. They have even left landmines around houses and corpses. Meanwhile, there is also news that Russian soldiers are moving forward by making shields of civilians.
It is reported that the Russian military obstructed the evacuation work by building a corridor for the second day in a row, due to which the humanitarian crisis in Mariupol has deepened. On top of that, Russia has accused Ukraine of attacking its soil and bombing a fuel depot with helicopters. However, Ukraine has denied taking responsibility for the attack. Significantly, on Friday, two helicopters dropped bombs on Russian soil.
Regarding this, Moscow’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said – this is certainly not an action that can be considered appropriate to continue talks between the two sides. Significantly, a round of talks between the two countries also took place on Friday and Russia continued to withdraw some of its troops from the areas around Kyiv. Keep in mind, Moscow said on Monday that it would reduce military activities near the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and the northern city of Chernihiv.
On the 38th day of Russia’s attack on Ukraine, UN body UNESCO has claimed that 53 historical and religious sites in Ukraine have been damaged so far in Russia’s attacks. These include 29 religious places, 16 historical buildings, four museums and four monuments. Meanwhile, Russia has fired three missiles at a residential area of Odessa city. Giving information about this, Governor Maxim Marchenko said that many people are feared to be injured in the attack.
A senior Ukrainian official has accused the Russian military of using children as shields. Ukraine’s Defense Ministry spokesman, Colonel Alexander Motuzyannik said – Enemies are using Ukrainian children as human shields while transporting their convoys, their vehicles. Russian soldiers are taking children hostage so that their parents can’t inform Ukrainian soldiers about enemy movements.
