Russian attack from north continues to worsen, says Ukraine’s spymaster Budanov

"The Russian attack from the north continues, and the problems tend to worsen, the head of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (HUR), Kyrylo Budanov, said in an interview with NV. Stressing that the Russian attack from the north continues, Budanov declined to tell NV whether it will expand to the Sumy or Chernihiv sectors.
"If I start answering this question, we will provoke panic," the spy chief said.
“Let's just say there are problems, and they tend to get worse. There is no catastrophe, but it is impossible not to see the problems. I already told someone from the Western press: I will not have a lot of good news this year, unfortunately.” UB

Russian Shelling

"Russian fire killed five civilians in Ukraine’s Kharkiv, with one missile attack carried out after emergency services had arrived at the scene of an earlier attack, officials said. A police officer and an emergency rescue official were killed in that second strike in the village of

Budy. 

Ukrainian Interior Minister Igor Klymenko said it was not the first time that Russia attacked emergency services while they were “rescuing civilians”.
Regional Governor Oleg Synegubov said 22 people were injured in the twin attacks, including five railway workers. He accused Russia of “deliberately” targeting the area twice.
In the southern Kherson region, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said three people were killed in Russian shelling. The victims were two women, aged 72 and 50, and a 41-year-old man, he said. Prokudin said Russian forces shelled Ukrainian-held positions throughout the day.
Donetsk Governor Vadym Filashkin said an attack by multiple rocket launchers hit a multistorey apartment building, killing one person in Chasiv Yar – a town targeted by Russian forces as a staging point in advancing through Ukraine’s east.
A guided bomb, increasingly used in Russian attacks, also killed one person near the town of Kurakhove, where some of the heaviest fighting is taking place along the 1,000km (600-mile) front.
Two bombs dropped on a village further west near the town of Komar killed two people. Ten buildings and a shop were damaged, according to reports." AJ
