The regional emergency service gave the latest death toll from the strike in the town of Chasiv Yar as 15 people, with rescue work still on. SEarlier, Donetsk region Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said on Telegram that at least 24 people could be trapped under the ruins.
Andriy Yermak, chief of staff to Ukraine’s president, said in a Telegram post the strike was “another terrorist attack,” and Russia should be designated as a “state sponsor of terrorism” as a result. A bill to apply this label to Russia has been tabled by two U.S. senators, who are confident the proposal would be voted through during a Thursday visit to Kyiv.

Canada to return repaired Nord Stream 1 turbine
Canada will return a repaired turbine to Germany that is needed for the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline and could help ensure continued flows of energy until Europe can end its dependency on Russian gas, Canada’s minister of natural resources said.
The Canadian government said it was issuing a “time-limited and revocable permit” to exempt the return of turbines from its Russian sanctions and also announced new measures against Moscow in response to its invasion of Ukraine.
