Over 700 bodies have been found in Ukraine's liberated areas of Kharkiv, Donetsk and Kherson .
Almost 90% are civilians, says Attorney General Andriy Kostin, specifying that the number of corpses refers to the overall findings of the last two months.
Meanwhile, Ukraine is preparing for a cold and dark winter. And the head of the largest private energy company, Dtek, launches a dramatic appeal: " Those who can go away, for a few months, so as not to weigh on the electricity grid, light is needed for essential services, for hospitals ", says the CEO Maxim Timchenko, explaining to the BBC that "if less is consumed, then hospitals with wounded soldiers will have guaranteed power supply".
Meanwhile, in Kherson, Russian soldiers fired on a humanitarian aid distribution point while bread was being delivered to civilians. In Zaporizhzhia, 16 settlements were bombed in a few hours, and there were also attacks in Kramatorsk, in Donetsk.
A very hard winter therefore, with Zelensky who - despite the pressure from the USA to mediate becoming insistent - does not seem willing to give in: " A peace - insists the Ukrainian president - cannot be defined as such with concessions of our land or our sovereignty , they would bring new blood . Russia is now trying to reach a short truce to regain its strength, but a pause will only make the situation worse.
