Russia steps up attacks in Ukraine after landmark NATO summit

KYIV, 01 July 2022, (TON): Russia pressed on with its offensive in eastern Ukraine after NATO branded Moscow the biggest direct threat to Western security and agreed plans to modernize Kyiv’s beleaguered armed forces.

Ukrainian authorities said “they were trying to evacuate residents from the frontline eastern city of Lysychansk, the focus of Russia’s attacks where about 15,000 people remained under relentless shelling.”

Regional Governor Serhiy Gaidai told Ukrainian television “fighting is going on all the time. The Russians are constantly on the offensive.”

“Absolutely everything is being shelled.”
