Ukraine’s Verkhovna Rada has warned that at least seven fires were burning near Chernobyl nuclear power plant and there was an increased risk of radiation. Satellite images taken from the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2 satellite show the fires near Chernobyl.

 Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine could not fulfill Russian ultimatums, claiming that Moscow wanted to destroy his country. President Zelensky said that Moscow wanted Ukraine to hand over Kyiv, Mariupol and Kharkiv. “Neither the people of these cities, nor me, can do this”, President Zelensky added. He pointed out that every important decision will be adopted via a national referendum and said that a meeting with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is needed to stop the war. Zelensky said he was ready to discuss the future of Crimea and Donbas in such a meeting.

The European Union allocated an additional EUR 500 million to Ukraine, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell announced after the meeting of the EU Foreign Ministers in Brussels.

According to the General Headquarters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Russian forces are running out of food, fuel and ammunition.
