Kyiv: Ukrainian forces surround thousands of Russian troops in Liman
Ukrainian forces surround thousands of Russian troops in Liman

Officials in Kiev said Ukrainian forces arrived in Liman on Saturday surrounded by thousands of Russian troops, in a retaliation against the Kremlin a day after it announced the annexation of part of the Ukrainian territory.

Taking Liman would be a big blow for Russia. A spokesman for Ukraine's eastern forces said Russia had surrounded nearly 5,500 troops in Liman. The Russian Defense Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Russia's last operational update was made on Friday evening.

On Saturday, the ministry's Telegram channel published a series of congratulatory messages, including one from President Putin, to mark Ground Forces Day.

Today, the British Ministry of Defense announced that the missile used to strike a humanitarian convoy in Ukraine "is likely to have been a Russian long-range missile".

The British intelligence report, posted on Twitter, added that the use of such a "resource of great value" in the attack near Zaporizhia "was almost certainly prompted by the general lack of munitions, particularly high-precision missiles , long-range".

The report also said Friday's attack, on the day Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the annexation of four regions of Ukraine, resulted "in the killing by Russian troops of civilians Moscow already claims are its citizens."

The attack took place near the cities of Zaporizhia and Mykolaiv. As a result, around 26 people were killed and around 40 others were injured. People who had gone to the occupied areas, to save their family members, were traveling in the stricken ambulances.

In a message on the Telegram social network, the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, wrote that: We will definitely answer for every lost Ukrainian life!".

On Friday at the meeting of the United Nations Security Council, Russia vetoed a draft resolution which described the Russian referendums in Ukraine as "illegal".

Ten countries supported the resolution, among them the United States and Albania, countries that presented the resolution to the Security Council.

China, Gabon, India and Brazil abstained while Russia was the only country to vote against the resolution.

US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said that if Russia chooses to avoid responsibility, we will take further steps in the General Assembly to send a message to Moscow that the world is still on the side of protecting sovereignty and territorial integrity. ".

The head of the International Crisis Group, Richard Gowan, said Western diplomats knew Russia would veto the resolution, but he added the document was intended as a prelude to holding a vote in the General Assembly to condemn Russia's actions.

He said the United States "worked hard to ensure China's abstention," a move he said was important for the United States "to show that Beijing does not support Moscow."

In comments before the vote, Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said the resolution was "nothing more than a low-level provocation" adding that residents of the regions where the referendums were held "have made an informed and free choice".
