Russia has turned its attention to capturing more parts of the Donetsk region of the Donbas, having already seized the neighboring Luhansk province. Donetsk is now experiencing heavy shelling, the same strategy that Russian forces used in Luhansk. Sloviansk, Kramatorsk and Bakhmut are now Russia's key targets.A market in Sloviansk was struck on July 5, 2022, following a suspected missile attack amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
To the north of Sloviansk, the British noted, Russia has "committed most of the remaining available units from the Eastern and Western Groups of Forces to the Izium axis," referring to the route between Sloviansk via Izium, to Kharkiv in the northeast of Ukraine. Both bills still need to undergo second and third readings in the Duma and must be approved by the upper chamber and signed off by President Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said an air alert was announced over almost all of Ukraine on Tuesday night, leaving many civilians anxious after a period of relative calm in parts of the country. "Growing evidence gives my office reasonable grounds to believe that serious violations of international humanitarian law in this regard have been committed by Russian armed forces," Bachelet wrote in a statement.
