Russian President Vladimir Putin called for beleaguered Ukrainian troops to “surrender” Putin’s remarks were broadcast on Russian television hours after United States President Donald Trump said that “thousands” of Ukrainian troops were surrounded by the Russian military in Kursk. Ukraine’s General Staff denied again that its forces were encircled by Moscow’s troops. A Russian missile struck a residential area in Kryvyi Rih, injuring 11 people. A far-right anti-Russian activist was shot dead on a street in Odesa. The suspect, a 46-year-old man, was described as a “deserter” from the Ukrainian army. Police cannot rule out the possibility that this crime was committed on behalf of Russian secret services.
