news of the day
Pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk claimed on Friday to have conquered the locality of Lyman, in eastern Ukraine, an important railway junction that opens the road to the major cities of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.
On its Telegram account, the separatist Territorial Defense Staff in Donetsk said it had "taken complete control" of Lyman with the support of the Russian armed forces.
The phrase
“Vladimir Putin pointed out that attempts to blame Russia for the difficulties in delivering agricultural products to world markets are baseless.

Here is the Kremlin's response, as Moscow is accused by the international community of being responsible for the world's grain delivery problems due to its offensive in Ukraine.
The number
3 million.
This is the number of Ukrainian refugees who left the countries bordering Ukraine, where they had flocked after the Russian invasion, to move to other non-neighboring European countries, the High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) from the UN.
A total of 6,659,220 Ukrainians have fled their country since the Russian invasion on February 24, according to UNHCR figures.
Of these, more than 3.5 million headed west to Poland.
The trend of the day
The capture of Lyman would open the road to the Russian forces towards the regional centers of Sloviansk, then Kramatorsk, while allowing them to approach a total encirclement of the agglomeration formed by the cities of Severodonetsk and Lyssytchansk, two other important cities Ukrainians located further east.
There is no longer any doubt that the Russian forces are intensifying their offensive in the Donbass and tightening the noose around this region of Ukraine.
