Russia carried out an airstrike on a large supermarket in Kostyantynivka, a town in the Donetsk region, located several kilometers from the front lines.

According to Vadim Filashkin, the chairman of the Donetsk regional state administration, the attack resulted in two fatalities and 17 injuries. He described the incident as another act of terrorism by Russia.

In Eastern Ukraine, a recent bout of Russian shelling in Dnipro has left four individuals injured and hospitalized, as confirmed by Serhiy Lysak, the head of the regional military administration. The attack also resulted in significant damage to 10 homes.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced $1 billion of aid during a surprise visit Wednesday to Ukraine, which suffered a Russian strike that killed at least 17 people at a market.

The attack, which President Volodymyr Zelensky described as deliberate and "heinous", drew international condemnation from the West, including accusations of war crimes.

At least 16 people were killed today in a Russian attack on Kostiantynivka in eastern Ukraine, said the adviser to the Ukrainian president, Mykhailo Podolyak.

He gave no other details about the attack on the industrial city in Donetsk region, which is close to the front lines.

Local media described the attack as a rocket attack.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday a Russian strike on a market in east Ukraine had killed more than a dozen people and wounded more, as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was visiting Kiev.

Deadly Russian missile strikes hit southern and eastern Ukraine on June 14 as Ukrainian air defenses fought back against Moscow's intensified attacks.

Russia fired four Kalibr missiles on southern port city Odesa from a ship in the Black Sea, Ukraine's air force said, with air defenses shooting down three of them.

"They set me up," Tkachuk, now retired, told the local court in Kostiantynivka. "If I could go back, of course, I wouldn't have done this."

She pleaded guilty, expressed remorse and the judge sentenced her to five years in prison, suspended for 12 months. The prosecutor and the defence lawyer had already left the room.
