Since Russia announced Friday to concentrate its efforts on eastern Ukraine, the noose has loosened in some cities in the south of the country. But a possible separation supported by Moscow between the pro-Russian regions in the east of the country and the rest of Ukraine raises fears of a “Korean-style” scenario, according to the Ukrainian government.

Strikes and explosions
Russian strikes continue in Mariupol, Kharviv, Lutsk, Rivne and Zhytomyr, according to Ukrainian authorities.
Near Kharkiv, seven people, including two children, were killed and five others injured during the shelling of the village of Oskil.
In the besieged city of Mariupol, new humanitarian corridors were organized on Sunday to allow the evacuation of civilians.
The Russian noose has also loosened in the south of the country. The strikes have stopped on the city of Mykolaiv and the front has even retreated a little in Kherson, a city occupied by Russia since the start of the conflict.
