- Russian forces continued shelling the suburbs of Kyiv and Chernihiv on Wednesday.

- Russia said it would build a "mutual trust" between them and Ukraine.
Russian forces have continued to bomb the suburbs of Ukraine's capital city, Kyiv, Reuters reported, despite Russian officials' claims that Putin's military would scale back its assault to build "mutual trust."
Russia on Wednesday launched an attack on the outskirts of Kyiv and the northern city of Chernihiv.
"It's not true," Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said in a video address to EU regional officials in regard to the slowing of attacks.
"The whole night we listened to sirens, to rocket attacks and we listened to huge explosions east of Kyiv and north of Kyiv. There are immense battles there, people died, still die," he said, Reuters reported.
At least one civilian was killed and six were wounded in the shelling attacks in Chernihiv, ABC reported.
The Kremlin had said the day prior Russian assaults on the two cities would be "scaled down dramatically," ABC reported.
On Wednesday, Russian officials said they had completed their missions in both regions and would be moving on to focus on the Donbas region, Reuters reported.
