"The enemy's mission is to sow panic and create chaos. However, in the northern operational zone , everything is under complete control," General Serhiy Naev, commander of the joint forces of the armed forces, said. Kyiv has redoubled efforts to clamp down on corruption despite Russia's invasion, and doing so is vital to meet the conditions for joining the European Union.
"At this time, the head of the Supreme Court has been detained and measures are being taken to check other individuals for involvement in criminal activity," Omelchenko told a joint briefing with the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine . But the commander-in-chief of Ukraine's armed forces, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, said all had been successfully intercepted.Kyiv authorities said three people were wounded by falling debris.
Two S-300 missiles targeted infrastructure in Kostyantynivka, west of the embattled eastern city of Bakhmut.Earlier this month, Ukraine claimed to have shot down a single Kinzhal missile over Kyiv for the first time using a newly deployed US Patriot air defence system.
