In Odesa, a Russian airstrike resulted in the death of a 35-year-old woman and injured ten others, including two children. The attack damaged residential buildings and vehicles, while a heating pipeline was also affected. Local authorities report that Russian forces have recently increased their assaults on southern Ukraine, targeting both military and civilian structures. In response, Ukraine has been urging Western allies for enhanced air defense systems. Meanwhile, Russia’s Security Council head suggested that the West must engage in negotiations with Moscow to mitigate the conflict.
