***** In Severodonetsk, the Russians carried out an airstrike during which they hit a tank with nitric acid. People were asked not to leave the shelter because it is very dangerous.

 In the Luhansk region, the evacuation of residents was stopped. The armored transport, which was headed to Lysychansk for civilians, was fired upon by the Russian military. French journalist Frederic Leclerc-Imhoff had been killed as a result of the shelling. He was 32 years old.

 At morning, the Russians shelled the residential area of Mykolaiv. As of 4:00 p.m., two wounded people are known. Another person had been killed.

***** The Russians ldid a missile attack on a solar power plant in the city of Merefa, Kharkiv region. There were no soldiers there. The station was shot only to destroy it and cause economic damage to the region.

***** The Russians periodically block the car smovement that want to leave in the direction of Zaporizhzhia to the territory controlled by Ukraine. Convoys of 300-400 cars are stopped for 4-5 days. The occupiers sometimes demand money for travel and make problems to leave the occupied territory.

 In the Melitopol district, the Pryazovsky police department completely switched over to the side of the Russians. 35 employees of the department headed by the chief and his deputy agreed to cooperate with the enemy. Interesting, that among the traitors there are members of the ATO, which fought against the Russians after 2014. Perhaps this action by the policemen was caused by psychological and possibly physical pressure on them and their families.

*** Three missile strikes on Kryvyi Rih.

***In the Kherson region, due to the offensive of the Ukrainian army, the Russians suffered losses, and took up the defense on unfavorable frontiers.

*** Russia continues its massive offensive on Severodonetsk near Bakhmut and push out Ukrainian troops south of the city Liman.

*** Near the border of Ukraine, the Belarusian army has training, which can very quickly turn into aggression. Russia has placed its missiles on the border with Ukraine.

*** The shortage of salt arose because the "Artemsil" enterprise was in the war zone. The saltmine is hited, railway tracks are being shelled. The management of the plant reported, that the entire stock of salt was taken to warehouses in the controlled territory of Ukraine. Logistics does not have time to deliver salt to consumers via new routes.

**** Today, I accidentally bought 2 kg of salt at UAH 30/kg in a small store in our area.

 Salt suddenly disappeared in stores. There is an empty shelf in the store closest to us. Usually all kinds of salt were laid out there - rock, "Extra", iodized and others. I went to ask about salt in another store. The seller said that there is no salt and it is unknown when it will appear. She also said that salt is now sold for UAH 95 per kilogram in Ternopil. That's more than three dollars. Previously, salt cost UAH 6-7/kg.

         I've bought two packets of sea salt at a pharmacy for UAH 32/kg.
