Under increasing pressure to lift the blockade on Gaza and allow essential supplies in, Israel has attempted to present a solution by distributing aid via the US-backed GHF. However, Jake Wood, a US military veteran overseeing the organisation, has already resigned, saying it would not be able to fulfil the principles of "humanity, neutrality, impartiality, and independence".

The attacks came amid uncertainty over whether Kyiv will take part ina new round of peace talks

early next week in Istanbul.In the Russian attacks on Saturday, a child was killed in a strike on the front-line village of Dolynka in the Zaporizhia region, and another was injured, Zaporizhia’s Governor Ivan Fedorov said.“One house was destroyed. The shockwave from the blast also damaged several other houses, cars, and outbuildings,” Fedorov wrote on Telegram.

A man was also killed by Russian shelling in Ukraine’s Kherson region, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin wrote on Telegram.Moscow did not comment on either attack.

Meanwhile, authorities in Ukraine’s Sumy region said they were evacuating 11 villages within a roughly 30-kilometre (19-mile) range from the Russian border.

“The decision was made in view of the constant threat to civilian life as a result of shelling of border communities,” the regional administration said on social media."Supply chains are now longer, goods become more expensive,” Burmistrov from Infoline-Analytics told Al Jazeera.

Burmstrov said that consumers have not seen the true impact of higher prices because the Russian government has provided low-interest subsidised loans to support parallel imports.But he expects parallel imports to decline over time - and not because of international pressure.

“Without marketing and advertisement budgets, the demand for brands will reduce naturally,” he said.“Russian businesses are trying hard to get the market share left by Western companies, and in many segments, [the] Chinese are the real beneficiaries.”
