Ukraine: Russia said to be using more deadly weapons in war
Russian bombers have likely been launching heavy 1960s-era anti-ship missiles in Ukraine, the U.K. Defense Ministry said. The Kh-22 missiles were primarily designed to destroy aircraft carriers using a nuclear warhead. When used in ground attacks with conventional warheads, they “are highly inaccurate and therefore can cause severe collateral damage and casualties,” the ministry said.
“It's what happens when big powers decide that their imperial appetites matter more than the rights of their peaceful neighbors,” Lloyd Austin said during a visit to Asia. “And it's a preview of a possible world of chaos and turmoil that none of us would want to live in.”A Ukrainian governor accused Russia of using incendiary weapons in a village in the eastern province of Luhansk, southwest of the fiercely contested cities of Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk.
The Ukrainian army said Saturday that Russian forces also were to launch an offensive on the city of Sloviansk in Donetsk province, which together with Luhansk makes up the Donbas, The pair discussed Ukraine's aspirations for EU membership. Zelenskyy, speaking through a translator, said Ukraine “will do everything” to integrate with the bloc.Von der Leyen said the EU's executive arm was “working day and night” on an assessment of Ukraine's eligibility as an EU candidate. The goal is to have the review ready to share with the bloc's 27 existing members by the end of next week.

Balitsky said his administration would not forcibly appropriate grain or pressure producers to sell it.
