Many Ukrainians continue to face the devastating consequences of Russian attacks in various regions. In Novohrodivka, Donetsk, the front line now runs through the town, leading to severe disruptions for the 6,500 residents, including 720 children. With no gas supply since 2022 and no centralised water supply since last year, residents have been forced to collect water from their own wells. Deputy head of the Novohrodivka city military administration, Oleh Zhuzhman, urged residents to evacuate the area due to the ongoing threat of shelling. Despite having shops, pharmacies, post offices, and bank branches, the town’s infrastructure has been significantly impacted, with a third of its 238 apartment buildings already damaged by the attacks.

Zelenskyy highlighted that negotiations for these agreements will begin in August, with the prospect of visits from European leaders to Ukraine in the near future. Amid the ongoing conflict with Russian forces, Zelenskyy expressed his gratitude towards military personnel for their dedication and efforts on the battlefield. The Ukrainian government continues to work towards establishing stronger ties with European allies to ensure the country’s security and stability.
