Ukraine update: Russia says half its foreign reserves are frozen, while President Zelensky warns Ukrainians against collaborating
Russia admits that it has lost access to almost half its foreign exchange reserves. Meanwhile, Russian forces abducted a second mayor in Ukraine’s southeast, Russian air strikes have shifted further west near Lviv, and President Zelensky warned Ukrainians against collaborating.
President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Ukrainians against collaborating as Russian forces abducted a second mayor southeast of the country in what appears to be part of a plan to install new local puppet administrations.
Russian airstrikes have shifted further west, close to the city of Lviv and Ukraine’s border with Poland, as Moscow warned that convoys of military aid from the west are “legitimate targets”. A strike at a military range and training center about 35km from Poland killed dozens. Fighting continued on the outskirts of Kyiv, where Russian forces may be attempting to encircle the capital. Airstrikes continued on Mykolaiv on the Black Sea, killing several.
President Zelensky tweeted that he had held talks with Polish President Andrzej Duda and Bulgarian Prime Minister Kiril Petkov.
