“Tyranny always loses, but for this you need to get weapons,” Zelensky said. He thanked the Netherlands for “unprecedented assistance”, asking for more arms supplies to counter Russian aggression.

In three places in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine, the Russian military again used phosphorus shells, injuring 11 residents of Maryinka, including four children, regional governor Pavlo Kirilenko said on Telegram on Thursday.
“Eleven wounded civilians of the Mariana community, including four children, were taken to the hospital in the city of Kurakhovo,” Kirilenko wrote.
The governor also called for the evacuation of civilians from the border villages. He stressed that the evacuation is temporary, and the most important thing is to save lives.
