Powerful explosions have been heard across Kyiv, Lutsk, Kharkiv and Zhytomyr during air alert on day 33 of war in Ukraine. Ukraine authorities said that Mariupol has been under “carpet' bombing” with more missiles being dropped every day. Ukraine's military claims Russia has been forced to withdraw forces from the Kyiv region after suffering heavy losses. According to the top Ukrainian official, it is impossible for the Russian army to overthrow the Ukrainian govt now.

Meanwhile, President Zelenksy has said that Ukraine is ready to accept “neutral & non-nuclear status” but demanded guarantee from a third party. The Ukraine President said it will be impossible to force Russia out of his country's territory completely and that may lead to World War III.
