Dmytro Kuleba, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, warned against provocations by the Russian side with rocket artillery.
“Worrying reports: Russians might have pointed multiple rocket-launching systems in the Russian border village of Popovka towards their own territory. Knowing the barbaric nature of Russian actions, we fear a false flag operation might be prepared in order to accuse Ukraine,” Dmytro Kuleba wrote on Twitter.

Russia is carrying out another day of intensive, ruthless rocket fire on Ukrainian cities.
The Russian occupying power is using cluster bombs and fragmentation bombs to attack populated areas against the norms of international humanitarian law, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces announced today on Facebook.
In addition, the Russian army uses Grad, Uragan and Smiercz missiles launchers in artillery attacks on villages. The Russians are taking civilians hostage to use them as shields.
