The proposal would also allow for foreign military exercises to be held in Ukraine without Russia’s consent, Lavrov said.

A senior U.S. defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal military assessments said Friday that the Pentagon believes Russia has lost between 15% and 20% of its combat power overall since the war began. Ukrainian authorities and Western officials have repeatedly accused Russian forces of committing atrocities in the war that began with Russia's Feb. 24 invasion. A Western official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence, told the Associated Press that Russian forces have used the missile — and that given the strike's location and impact, it was likely Russia's. Some of the grisliest evidence so far has been found in Bucha and other towns around Kyiv, from which Russian President Vladimir Putin's troops pulled back in recent days. A Russian Defense Ministry spokesman detailed the missile's trajectory and Ukrainian troop positions to bolster the argument. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he wants a tough global response after a missile struck a train station packed with civilians trying to escape an imminent Russian offensive, killing at least 52 people.

The Russian Defense Ministry has denied the charge, stating that Tochka-U missiles are used by the Ukrainian military.

The city is now squeezed between the frontlines, to the south and east by the pro-Russian separatist statelets of Donetsk and Lugansk, and to the north by the advance of the Russian army. Evacuees slept on mattresses on the floor in the church and were offered breakfast by volunteers on Saturday morning as they waited for the bus to take them out of the path of a feared Russian offensive in the region.
