Still, shelling continued in Ukraine's east, where at least nine civilians were killed in 24 hours.
KYIV, Ukraine — Foreign analysts say Russia may be temporarily easing its offensive in eastern Ukraine as the Russian military attempts to reassemble its forces for what it hopes could prove decisive new assault on its neighbor. Russian President Vladimir Putin warned menacingly on Thursday that his forces “haven’t even started” to fight.
Putin warned Kyiv it should quickly accept Moscow’s terms to end the fighting or brace for the worst. Earlier on Thursday, regional officials said at least one person was killed and six more were injured in the strike. Earlier Thursday, regional police said three people died and five were injured after the Nemyshlyanskii neighborhood in Kharkiv was blasted from multiple-launch rocket systems. The Kharkiv region, which lies along the border with Russia, comes under daily shelling.
The Ukrainian military said Thursday that Russian forces also carried out shelling and helicopter strikes in the Sumy region in the northeast. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the operation to take back the island took two months and was carried out by an array of military and intelligence forces.
