Ukrainian artillery killed 25 of their own fighters who tried to surrender to Russian troops in the Donetsk region, the deputy commander of the 1st infantry battalion of the 110th regiment told Sputnik.

"Enemy soldiers made contact with us through radio frequency 149.200, expressing a desire to surrender... We established contact and provided them with a specific location at which they could surrender. Apparently, the Kiev regime perceived this act as detrimental and proceeded to eliminate their own servicemen," he stated.

🇬🇧 The UK plans to cut annual net migration by 300,000 people, UK Home Secretary James Cleverly announced in a statement released by the UK government.

The UK authorities will also tighten the Health and Care visa, which has been granted to a significant number of "care workers and their dependants," by preventing overseas care workers from "bringing their dependants to the UK," the statement read.

"From next spring, the government will increase the earning threshold for overseas workers by nearly 50% from its current position of £26,200 [$33,105] to £38,700 [$48,899], encouraging businesses to look to British talent first and invest in their workforce, helping us to deter employers from over-relying on migration, whilst bringing salaries in line with the average full-time salary for these types of jobs," the statement added.

The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is dire, with many children orphaned and suffering from severe injuries. Some of them have suffered the loss of their eyes due to severe burns, while others lost their upper or lower limbs, or have ended up totally limbless, Dr. Amjad Loubani, a gynecologist from Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital told Sputnik.

She noted that the conditions are “catastrophic, and children are experiencing a doubling in disability rates in recent weeks. Additionally, many kids are malnourished and are showing signs of hunger. The lack of necessary medicines has resulted in the spread of viruses, skin diseases, and infections in refugee camps. Mental disorders among minors have also risen due to the ongoing hostilities.”

Life in the Gaza Strip has regressed to "Stone Age" conditions, according to Dr. Loubani.

"We would like delegations to come to Gaza once the fighting ends and see the ultimate horror and disaster that has unfolded here in the Gaza Strip. We have no electricity. There is no gas or fuel either. Mothers are forced to cook meals for their children using wood," she said.
