Oleh Syniehubov, the regional governor of Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine, claimed that at least six Russian airstrikes damaged civilian facilities in Kharkiv.
On Thursday, Russia claimed to have shot down 19 Ukrainian drones over the Black Sea and Crimean Peninsula, which it has occupied.
In addition, three Ukrainian drones were shot down, according to the Russian military ministry, over the Russian areas of Kursk, Belgorod, and Orlov.
Poland's aid
Poland announced on Thursday that it will only give Ukraine weaponry and ammunition deliveries that had been previously agreed upon.
A day earlier, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki declared a cease to arms transfers to Ukraine for Poland to arm itself "with the most modern weapons." The government spokesperson's remark followed that announcement.
Since Poland temporarily restricted grain imports from Ukraine to safeguard Polish farmers, tensions between the two countries have increased.
