More than 100 days into the war, Ukrainian forces appeared to make progress in a key eastern city, pushing back a Russian offensive that is fixated on the entire Donbas region. But Russia also targeted Kyiv over the weekend for the first time in weeks, signaling that perhaps no city in Ukraine is safe from attack.

Here are some updates from across the country:

Severodonetsk: Russian and Ukrainian forces have traded territorial gains in this strategic city in the eastern Luhansk province. Ukrainian officials said over the weekend that they now control about half of the city, wresting approximately 20 percent from Russia in recent days. British defense officials said Monday that “heavy fighting continues” in the contested city, and Russian forces continue to push toward Slovyansk as part of their attempt to surround Ukrainian forces.

Elsewhere in Luhansk: Regional police say Russia has shelled a humanitarian aid facility in Lysychansk, a city separated from Severodonetsk by a river. As of Sunday evening, authorities had not released information on potential casualties but said they were investigating the strike as a potential war crime. On the same day, 98 people were evacuated from Lysychansk, offering hope to a region that has faced relentless bombing in recent weeks.

Kyiv: For the first time in over a month, Russian rockets struck the Ukrainian capital, shattering the city’s sense of tentative safety. Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed its missiles destroyed tanks and other armored vehicles sent to Ukraine by Eastern European allies, but Ukrainian authorities denied this and accused Moscow of targeting civilian infrastructure. Britain’s Defense Ministry said Monday that Russia was probably attempting to disrupt the supply of Western military equipment to Ukrainian troops by striking rail infrastructure.

Mykolaiv oblast: Authorities in this southern region reported a “mass rocket attack” early Sunday, offering few details but saying that Ukrainian defense systems had destroyed two of the incoming missiles and the others had targeted several cities. One local official said residential buildings in the city of Mykolaiv were hit, causing deaths and injuries. The Washington Post could not verify the report Sunday.

Snake Island: British officials said that after the loss of the Russian warship Moskva in April, Russian forces probably moved air defense assets — including SA-15 and SA-22 systems — to Snake Island in the western Black Sea to protect naval vessels in the area. Russia’s activities on the island are contributing to a maritime blockade and hindering Ukrainian trade, including grain exports, they added.
