Ukraine's Contested Town: What's Happening in Selydove?

In the heart of Ukraine's Donetsk region, the town of Selydove has become a hotspot. Russia says it's taken control, but Ukrainian authorities haven't confirmed this yet. Selydove is important because it's a key defense point for Ukraine, helping to block Russia's advance toward the city of Pokrovsk. Fighting has been intense in Selydove. A spokesperson for a Ukrainian brigade told us that the town has been attacked from all sides for over a week. Russia is using a lot of troops and even bringing in reserves from the north to put pressure on the town. But here's something interesting: Russia isn't destroying the town's infrastructure. It seems they want to keep Selydove as a base for the future. The town is big enough to accommodate a large number of people and hide military equipment. Meanwhile, Russia has continued its aerial attacks on other Ukrainian cities. These attacks have caused deaths and injuries across the country, including in Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih, and the capital Kyiv. In the Odesa region, a 71-year-old man was killed by falling debris from an intercepted Russian missile. In Kharkiv, one of Ukraine's largest cities, a Russian bomb hit the Derzhprom building, a famous landmark known for its modernist architecture. This building is considered a cultural monument, and its damage is a big loss for Ukraine.
