100th day of Russia invasion

Here's what happened in Ukraine yesterday

 

As the 100th day since Russia invaded Ukraine draws to a close, Qazet.az reports a reminder of the main headlines of yesterday:

  • President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine has achieved "what seemed impossible" by resisting Russia's invasion. Yesterday he said Russia controlled around 20% of Ukrainian territory
  • A regional governor claimed Ukrainian forces have recaptured 20% of the city of Severodonetsk from Russian troops - which would mean roughly half of the city is under Ukrainian control
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin has denied Moscow is blocking exports of Ukrainian grain - and has said the best solution is to transport it through Belarus
  • French President Emmanuel Macron said he told Putin in a recent phone call he had made a "historic and fundamental error" by invading Ukraine and was now "isolated"
