It's 2 p.m. in Ukraine. Here's what you need to know​

Fighting in Ukraine's Donbas region has intensified in recent days, with Russia piling resources towards several towns but facing tough Ukrainian counter-offensives elsewhere.

Here's the latest on Russia's war in Ukraine:
​
  • Melitopol car bomb: Russian state media reported that a car bomb had detonated in the occupied city of Melitopol on Monday, claiming the explosion occurred near the House of Culture where Russian officials are operating. Three people were reportedly injured in the blast.
  • Donbas the "priority": Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow's "absolute priority" is what he called the "liberation" of Donetsk and Luhansk, Ukraine’s two eastern regions that make up the Donbas. Russia’s offensive has zeroed in on the region since its troops failed to take Kyiv and other parts of central Ukraine, and fighting there has ramped up in recent days.
  • Shelling in Donetsk: Three civilians were killed and several others wounded in fierce fighting in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine on Sunday, an update from the regional military administration for Donetsk said on Monday. Russian forces shelled areas north of the city of Donetsk with small arms, tanks, artillery, mortars, and MLRS "Grad" rockets, the statement said. 
  • Russian attacks in Severodonetsk: Russian forces are "advancing into the middle of the city" of Severodonetsk in northeast Ukraine, the head of the Luhansk regional military administration Serhiy Hayday said on Monday. Two people were killed and five others wounded in attacks on Sunday, and 50 houses were destroyed, Hayday said. The Ukrainian military also says Russian shelling across the border into the northern regions of Sumy and Chernihiv has resumed. 
  • Ukrainian counterattack: The Ukrainian military says it has begun a counter-offensive against Russian forces in the south of the country and has claimed significant advances in the direction of Kherson. Serhii Hlan, a deputy who sits on the Kherson region council, said Ukrainian forces "continued offensive operations and pushed the enemy back 9 kilometers (5 miles) in the Beryslav district." Hlan also claimed that Ukrainian units "broke the enemy grouping into two parts and actually encircled the enemy grouping in Davidiv Brid." 
  • Zelensky meets leaders: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will welcome French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna in Kyiv on Monday to discuss a shortfall in grain exports from Ukraine. On Sunday, Zelensky visited "front line positions" of the military and met soldiers in Kharkiv, in a rare trip from the country’s capital. "You risk your life for all of us and our state. Thank you for defending Ukraine's independence," he told troops.
  • EU pushes for oil embargo: European Union officials are renewing efforts to agree on a Russian oil embargo on Monday, after a difficult weekend of talks ended in deadlock and delayed a sixth round of European sanctions against Moscow. The bloc has struggled to get Hungary to support sanctions on Russian energy. Later on Monday, EU leaders will meet in an extraordinary summit.
