“Starting from now 14 victims have been confirmed, including six children. My condolences to their families and loved ones. The rescue is underway, at least five residential buildings have been damaged.

“The Russian strikes occur every day. People die every day. There is only one reason why it continues: Russia does not want a ceasefire and we see it. The whole world sees it.

“Each missile, every attack drone shows that Russia only seeks war. And only the pressure of the world on Russia, all efforts to strengthen Ukraine, our air defense and our strength, can determine when the war will end.

Ukraine reacted after Russia said that her attack on Kryvyi Rih was a targeted military meeting.

The Ministry of Defense of Russia declared on Telegram that the strike had been “high precision” in targeting a “meeting of unit commanders and western instructors” in a restaurant in the city.

“Following the strike, the total enemy losses up to 85 soldiers and officials of foreign countries, as well as up to 20 vehicles,” said the ministry on Telegram.

The general staff of the Ukrainian army has declared that Moscow “has again spread false information”.

Germany has paid Ukraine access to an internet satellite network managed by French Eutelsat, while Europe continues to look for alternatives to Elon Musk’s Starlink.

The CEO of Eutelsat, Eva Berneke, told Reuters that the company provided its high -speed satellite internet service in Ukraine for about a year through a German distributor.

He said he was financed by the German government but did not say how much it costs.

There are less than a thousand terminals that connect users to Ukraine to the Eutelssat network, which is a small fraction compared to the approximate terminals of 50,000 Starlink that Ukraine claims to have.

The figures are expected to increase since the company seems to obtain between 5,000 and 10,000 “within a few weeks”.

Starlink has been widely used by the Ukrainian army.

Musk previously said that Starlink was the “backbone of the Ukrainian army” and that “their entire first line line would collapse if I turned it off”.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to control a considerable part of the Kursk region in Russia, despite the efforts of the Kremlin to push them out, said a United States General.

The American Army General Christopher Cavoli, commander of the European Command of the United States, said that Ukrainian forces also entered the nearby Belgorod region, expanding their presence on the Russian territory.

During a congress hearing he said Thursday: “There is a considerable force that holds a considerable – reduced, but considerable – piece of land inside the Kursk Oblast of Russia at this moment. And they are keeping on an excellent defensive soil south of Belgorod.”

“The Ukrainians, a couple of weeks ago, pushed a smaller counterintelligence in Russia (to Belgorod). So, we still have a step back and forth in that area.”
