"I would like to say that, yes, everything is not going as fast as one would like," said the head of the Russian National Guard Viktor Solotov. According to Ukrainian sources, the site of the Antonov Aircraft Works in Kyiv, known for its cargo planes, was shelled. There was heavy fighting north and east of Kyiv. According to Ukrainian information, around 160 cars were able to leave the heavily contested Mariupol. It was unclear how many people were brought to safety. According to pro-Russian separatists, at least 20 people were killed by debris from a Ukrainian missile in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk. Ukraine dismissed the report.
