KYIV, 11 July 2022, (TON): Ukrainian defenders battled to contain Russian forces along several fronts, officials said, as the United States urged China to align itself with the West in opposing the invasion following an ill-tempered G20 meeting.
Its governor said “a missile strike on the northeastern city of Kharkiv wounded three civilians.”
Those two provinces, parts of which were held by pro-Russian separatists before the conflict began in February, comprise the eastern industrial region of the Donbas.
Ukrainian officials reported strikes in both on Saturday, while Britain’s Ministry of Defense said Moscow was assembling reserve forces from across Russia near Ukraine.
Donetsk regional Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said “a Russian missile had struck Druzhkivka, a town behind the front line, and reported shelling of other population centers.”
