Following the day of negotiations held yesterday in Istanbul between Ukraine and Russia, the Russian delegation announced that it would "drastically" reduce the intensity of the bombings in Kiev and Chernigov. However, contrary to what has been said, the bombing has intensified in the two cities in the north of the country.

Chernigov City Mayor Vladyslav Atroshenko has spoken to CNN today and said Russia has launched "a brutal attack" on the city: "The intensity of the bombing has increased," the military spokesman added. The mayor has confirmed that 25 civilians have been injured, but he has not been able to confirm the figure.

Several journalists in Kiev, including Mikel Ayestaran, have reported today that the intensity of Russian bombings in the area has increased.
