Russia Continues Missile Attacks on Kyiv Amid G-7 Summit and Day 450 of Ukraine Conflict

Ukraine's military and Russia's private Wagner Group reported fresh Russian retreats on the outskirts of Bakhmut, as Kyiv pressed on with its biggest advance for six months ahead of a planned major counteroffensive. Russia fired dozens of cruise missiles targeting Kyiv, and the raids also targeted the Odesa region where at least one person was killed. The United Nations said three new ships had been authorised to take part in the Black Sea grain deal allowing the safe export of Ukrainian grain. The Pentagon overvalued US equipment it sent to Ukraine by about $3bn, according to officials in an accounting error that opens up the possibility of more weapons being sent to Kyiv.
