War in Ukraine: The following are the updates on the most recent events in the conflict in Ukraine.

Kyiv claims that it was able to destroy armaments storage while firing a barrage of rockets and missiles against Russian military targets in southern Ukraine.

According to sources from the Ukrainian military, the strikes that took place in the Kherson region destroyed artillery, armored vehicles, and a depot with ammunition in Nova Kakhovka.

According to Russian authorities in the city, Ukrainian strikes have caused damage to civilian facilities and have resulted in the deaths of at least seven individuals. However, this number cannot be independently verified.

One billion euros ($1 billion) in financial help to Ukraine has been approved by the finance ministers of the European Union. This is the first installment of a projected nine-billion-euro package for Kyiv that was agreed upon in May.

According to the Finance Minister of the Czech Republic, Zbynek Stanjura, whose country is now holding the rotating presidency of the European Union, “This will give Ukraine the necessary funds to cover urgent needs and ensure the operation of critical infrastructure,”

According to the mayor of the city, Oleksandr Sienkevych, Russian forces have launched ‘massive’ strikes on the city of Mykolaiv, which is located in the southern part of Ukraine. The strikes have caused damage to two medical facilities as well as residential buildings.

According to Vitaliy Kim, who serves as the head of regional operations, the attacks have left 12 people injured.

During his trip to Kyiv, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said that the Netherlands will join other Western allies in supplying more sophisticated artillery to the front lines. Rutte made the announcement when the Netherlands was hosting the European Union Summit.

However, a senior official from the United States has warned that Moscow is also receiving a military boost, as Iran plans to give Russia hundreds of drones that are equipped with the capability to engage in armed conflict for use in Ukraine.

Following the issuance of a decree by Russian President Vladimir Putin that streamlines the process of obtaining Russian passports for all Ukrainians, it is anticipated that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will open a representative office for separatist authorities in Moscow.
