Russian shelling kills at least one person as residents flee floods caused by the Ukraine dam breach.
And Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov claimed that Russian rescue workers are "forced to work in conditions of ongoing shelling from Ukraine, and this complicates their work". He did not provide evidence to back up these claims.
"You are going through this difficult ordeal now," Mr Zelensky said. "We will help you and rebuild everything that needs to be restored. I thank you and wish you good health."Communities on small islands close to Russian occupied territory are said to be experiencing the worst of these floods. Whole homes there have been submerged.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Thursday that his forces had withstood fierce attempts by Ukrainian troops to break through the frontline in Zaporizhzhia province overnight.
