Russia seizes second village in central Ukraine
MOSCOW: Russia on Saturday said it had wrested a second village in Ukraine's central Dnipro region in a fresh advance in the industrial mining hub. Overnight strikes between Ukraine and Russia meanwhile claimed five lives – three in central Ukraine and two in western Russia, according to officials. The army said its forces 'liberated the locality of Maliyevka' in Dnipro, a part of Ukraine's mining heartland, particularly for coal that powers the electricity grid. Further Russian advances could harm Ukraine's economy and energy supplies. Authorities have already been ordering civilians with children to flee a front line that is creeping closer. Deeper Russian advances could mean more attacks on one of Ukraine's largest cities, Dnipro – though Russian troops are around 200 kilometers (120 miles) away. Dnipropetrovsk is not one of the five Ukrainian regions – Donetsk, Kherson, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhia and Crimea – that Moscow has publicly claimed as Russian territory.

EU Proposes Ban on Russian Oil, Gas Imports by End 2027

'Russia has repeatedly attempted to blackmail us by weaponizing its energy supplies,' European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Tuesday. 'We have taken clear steps to turn off the tap and end the era of Russian fossil fuels in Europe for good.'
