According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 16 relatives of the missing people contacted the police and provided biological samples for examination. Dog handlers were brought in to search — the service dog found one body and one fragment.
As a result of attacks on a construction hypermarket in Kharkov, 19 people were killed, including 12 men and seven women. Among the victims — A 17 year old boy and a 12 year old girl. Another 54 people were injured.
Extension of data update period in TCC
The Verkhovna Rada has registered a bill to extend the period for updating data for those liable for military service to 150 days in the TCC and SP.
Member of the Committee on National Security Issues Fyodor Venislavsky believes that it is now too early to assess the inadequacy of 60 days to clarify accounting data.
In his opinion, it is difficult to say whether the stipulated period for updating the data will be enough, because only a week has passed since the new law on mobilization in Ukraine came into force.
The largest military aid package from Sweden
Sweden is allocating a new military aid package to Ukraine worth 13 billion Swedish kronor (about $1.23 billion), which will be the largest since the full-scale Russian invasion.
According to the Swedish government, the aid package includes the ASC 890 radar reconnaissance and control aircraft, an advanced medium-range air-to-air missile (RB 99-AMRAAM) for use on aircraft and in ground-based air defense systems.

The aid package will include the entire fleet of Pbv 302 armored personnel carriers, which Sweden will provide to create new brigades of the Ukrainian army. The kit will include Jaktrobot Rb 99 missiles, artillery ammunition and resources for maintaining previously transferred equipment.
The package will include additional 155mm artillery shells, which will improve Ukraine's ability to fight Russian units deep in the battlefield.
Large-scale system of torture of prisoners in colonies
In Ukraine, a large-scale system of torture of prisoners in prisons in a number of regions was exposed. According to the State Bureau of Investigation, suspicions were reported to four officials of the state institution Bozhkovskaya correctional colony (No. 16) in the Poltava region.
The State Bureau of Investigation noted that almost everyone who ended up in the colony was a victim of criminals. Newly arrived prisoners were beaten until they broke their will and were forced to unquestioningly follow any instructions.
After arriving at the colony, each convict underwent a strict admission procedure, during which they were forced to clean the floor.
If the prisoners refused, then torture was used against them: they were beaten with hands, feet, rubber truncheons, sticks on the body, their arms were twisted.
Removal of restrictions on strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation
Another country has allowed the territory of the Russian Federation to be attacked with weapons that it provided to Ukraine, the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported.
Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly noted that the state does not have conditions for the supply of weapons to Ukraine.
Among the countries that have already lifted restrictions on strikes against the Russian Federation are Canada, the Netherlands, Great Britain, Belgium, Sweden, France, Poland, the Czech Republic, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
