The Ukrainian parliament adopted on Thursday, according to deputies, a bill toughening mobilization in the army, a controversial text because it does not provide for a demobilization period for soldiers.
” It’s done !! the law on mobilization is adopted. 283 (deputies voted) for,” said elected official Oleksiï Goncharenko on Telegram, while Ukraine, faced with a shortage of volunteer soldiers, had been working on this text for many months, punctuated by controversy.
The head of British diplomacy David Cameron called on Thursday for the “immediate” release of Russian opponent Vladimir Kara-Mourza, also a British national, accusing Moscow of ill-treatment aimed at worsening his state of health.
“A human rights activist committed to a democratic Russia and a vocal critic of the war in Ukraine, Mr. Kara-Mourza was considered a threat by the Kremlin. Putin locked him up to try to silence him,” said the former British Prime Minister.
“The enemy is attacking our energy infrastructure again! », affirmed the Ukrainian Minister of Energy German Galushchenko on the social network Telegram who speaks of a “massive attack”.
The missiles and drones targeted “production facilities and transmission systems” in the regions of kyiv, Kharkiv (northeast), Zaporizhia (south) and Lviv (west), he detailed.
Russia launched more than 40 missiles and 40 drones against Ukraine overnight from Wednesday to Thursday, targeting its “essential infrastructure,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on X (formerly Twitter). “Some Shahed missiles and drones were successfully shot down,” he added. Unfortunately, only a part of them.”
