As Kiev troops continue their counter-offensive, Moscow sends 1,300 Chechen soldiers to the Kherson region of southern Ukraine. This was announced by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to reports from the Kyiv Independent.
The Ukrainian news agency UNIAN reports that the military are men of the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, a loyal soldier of Russian President Vladimir Putin. These are the so-called "Kadyrovtsy", that is the notorious paramilitary militia operating alongside Kadyrov.
Bombings also continue with two civilians killed and five injured in the Donetsk region. Today, however, the German Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbock, arrived in Kiev by surprise. His presence is intended to demonstrate Berlin's support for Ukraine: “Today I am in Kiev to show that they can continue to count on us. That we will continue to stand by Ukraine for as long as necessary, with arms supplies and humanitarian and financial support ", said the government official.
