Russian forces fired on several towns and villages, including Bakhmut, Kudryumivka just to the south, nearby Soledar and also the town of Kostyantynivka, west of Bakhmut.
The Luhansk regional administration said Ukrainian forces had captured the small town of Novoselivske just inside Luhansk region, about 20 km northwest of Svatove, a Ukrainian target in the region. On the southern front, there was renewed Russian shelling of infrastructure in the city of Kherson – abandoned by Russian forces last month – and Kachkarivka, further north on the west bank of the Dnipro River.
Speaking to the Chinese leader for eight minutes in remarks broadcast on Russian state television, Putin said he expected a state visit to Moscow from his “dear friend” Xi in the spring to “demonstrate to the world the closeness of Russian-Chinese relations”. Belarus, a close Russian ally that has so far held back from joining the war, summoned Ukraine’s ambassador to complain about what it said was a Ukrainian air defence missile that flew into Belarus air space on Thursday.
“We know that most wars end at the negotiating table – probably this war too – but we know that what Ukraine can achieve in these negotiations depends inextricably on the military situation.”
