LIVE UPDATES: Ukrainian Military Shells Donetsk Bus Station, 2 People Killed

09:26 GMT 14.07.2022 (Updated: 20:56 GMT 19.10.2022)

Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine on 24 February, after the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR) appealed for help in defending themselves against Ukrainian provocations. Russia said that the aim of its special operation is to demilitarize and "de-Nazify" Ukraine.

Earlier this month, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told Russia's President Vladimir Putin that the Lugansk People's Republic had been completely liberated from Ukrainian forces.

Russian armed forces, along with combat units of the LPR forces, took full control of the city of Lisichansk and a number of nearby settlements.

However, Ukrainian forces continue to shell the territory of the DPR and LPR, aiming at Donetsk and other Donbass cities.

On Wednesday, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine and the UN discussed all details regarding the safe passage of ships loaded with grain during a meeting in Istanbul.

Unilateral Western Sanctions Will Provoke Global Recession - Russian Foreign Ministry

Attempts by Western countries to unleash a spiral of unilateral sanctions against Russia will provoke an inflation in Western countries and a global recession, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin said speaking at a political forum on the Sustainable Development Goals.

"The miscalculations made during the pandemic in the macroeconomic, food and energy policies of the largest economies of the Western countries led to a surge of instability in global commodity markets long before the start of Russia's special military operation," Vershinin said.

"An attempt by partners to shift the blame onto others and unleash a spiral of unilateral sanctions will result, even if the IMF recognizes it, in inflation in the Western countries themselves and, worse, an impending global recession," he added.

Ukrainian Defense Ministry Says Data on Ukrainian Military Losses State Secret

Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar said on Thursday that the information about the casualties in the Ukrainian armed forces will remain confidential as it is a state secret.

"The death toll numbers are a state secret during martial law. It is based on military utility and the fact that the enemy should not know these figures and use them for their own plans," Maliar told a briefing.

On June 1, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that every day Ukraine loses up to 100 soldiers killed and 500 injured. On June 9, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov confirmed that Ukrainian forces had about 100 casualties daily. Since the beginning of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, up to 10,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died, according to the Ukrainian presidential adviser, Oleksiy Arestovych. Western and Russian experts have estimated Ukrainian losses at about 70,000-200,000 dead.

On February 24, Russia began a military operation in Ukraine, responding to calls for help from the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. The Russian Defense Ministry said the operation is targeting Ukrainian military infrastructure only and the civilian population is not in danger. Meanwhile, Russia has accused Ukrainian troops of using people as human shields and targeting civilians with weapons supplied by the West.

Moldova to Seek US Financial Aid to Procure Ukrainian Electricity

Moldovan Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita has headed for Washington where she will discuss the possibility of obtaining financial assistance for the purchase of electricity from Ukraine, the Moldovan government office told Sputnik.

At the moment, Moldova buys 70% of electricity from the Kuchurgan power station, located in Transnistria and owned by the Russian power generation company Inter RAO UES, at a price of $60 per MWh, and another 30% from Ukraine's state-owned nuclear energy company Energoatom at a price of $78 per MWh. Moldova's annual electricity needs are estimated at 800 MW.

"The prime minister is on a three-day visit to Washington. She is scheduled to meet with US officials and representatives of the International Monetary Fund. She will discuss the possibility of obtaining support to cover the costs required to purchase electricity from Ukraine, as well as the issue of rising inflation in Moldova," the office said.

According to Moldova's national bureau of statistics, the inflation rate in Moldova rose to 31.83% over the past 12 months, with prices for food increasing by 34.3%, non-food products by 23.44%, and services provided to the population by 40.7%. The opposition blames the government and the ruling party for failing to control soaring gas prices, high inflation rates, and deteriorating quality of life.

IMF Urges States to Support Ukraine Economy by Granting Financing

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is calling on the members of the international community to support Ukraine by granting it financing so the country can maintain its economy, IMF spokesperson Gerry Rice said on Thursday.

"What we see as the priority in terms of financing for Ukraine is grant financing in the immediate and the short term," Rice said during a press briefing. "That is the best form of assistance that can be provided by the international community in light of the war situation and the nature of the shock."

The financial support would allow the Ukrainian government to remain operational without incurring further debt, Rice added.

In April, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said the IMF and Ukraine had discussed a follow-up aid package to support the country’s economy after the current crisis ends.
