"Russian military fails to advance on two fronts in Ukraine war"

Ukraine's military says 400 Russian convicts have arrived in Ukraine to reinforce Wagner mercenaries fighting for Moscow in the country. At least 25 people, including three children, were injured in Russian missile attacks on Dnipropetrovsk overnight Monday. Ukraine's Air Defense Forces intercepted 15 of 18 Russian cruise missiles fired from the northwestern Russian Arctic and the Caspian Sea regions on Monday. The Russian Ministry of Defense has replaced its deputy defense minister for logistics, making a change in military leadership just as Russian forces gear up for a Ukrainian counteroffensive. Wagner's leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has threatened to withdraw his mercenaries from the embattled eastern city of Bakhmut if they don’t receive more munitions to continue the fight. Pope Francis told journalists Sunday that the Vatican is part of a mission to end the war in Ukraine.
