Four people were killed and at least one injured after Russia shelled the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, local officials said. France summoned Alexey Meshkov, the Russian ambassador to France, after two French aid workers were killed in Russian artillery fire near Kherson last Thursday.
Russia's FSB security service said three Russian citizens had been detained on suspicion of attempting to assassinate a high-ranking Crimean official with a car bomb. The FSB claimed Ukraine's security service was behind the attempted attack and said the three had been charged with terrorist offences. The Kremlin warned Western countries that any attempt to use frozen Russian assets as collateral to raise funds for Ukraine would be illegal and lead to a Russian legal challenge.
