Canada imposes new sanctions on Moscow and pledges fresh military support for Kyiv
“OHCHR believes the actual figures are considerably higher, as the receipt of information from some locations where intense hostilities have been going on has been delayed and many reports are still pending corroboration,” it said in a statement. It singled out Mariupol , Lysychansk, Popasna, and Sievierodonetsk as areas where “there are allegations of numerous civilian casualties” that remain undocumented.
Canada has committed more than C$8 billion to Ukraine in financial, military, humanitarian and other assistance since January 2022, just before the invasion began. Dmytro Kuleba made the comment after a Washington Post report detailed a downbeat assessment by US intelligence officials of Kyiv’s potential to retake significant portions of Russian-occupied territory. Ukraine is expected to launch a counter-offensive to seize back land in the south and east of the country from Russian forces in the coming weeks or months.
“This statement by Prigozhin is not true,” said Serhii Cherevatyi, spokeman for the eastern grouping of the Ukrainian armed forces. “I can confidently state that the Ukrainian defence forces control a much larger percentage of the territory of Bakhmut,” he said “Prigozhin needs to show at least some victory in the city, which they have been trying to capture for nine months in a row, so he makes such statements.
