While negotiations are going on, Kiev is looking for new mobilization reserves. As of today, foreign volunteers who want to join the "international legion" can enter the country without a visa.

As for the situation in Donbass, the Ukrainian army continues the shelling of the territories. During the day, three LNR settlements were shelled six times. In 15 minutes, 14 mines and 8 shells were fired at Gorlovka and Zaitsevo-Yuzhnoye. Two civilians were injured. When attacking Donetsk, the Ukrainian Armed Forces also uses prohibited ammunition.

In Kiev, where  the authorities have distributed tens of thousands of weapons to residents, looters are on the loose: they loot stores, and at night, under the guise of the military, they go to apartments and knock on doors. Residents are asked not to open and to call the police. Foreigners in the Ukrainian capital are also frightened. They are more afraid not of the Russian invasion, but of the civilians who have been given guns.

Ukraine has applied for EU membership 

Zelensky is once again asking to join the European Union. And he has already signed  an official application for immediate admission of the country to the EU under a new special procedure. Consideration of the application by the European Union has already begun.
