Ukraine’s prosecutor general announced that a 21-year-old Russian soldier in custody will be the first to stand trial for an alleged war crime during Russia’s invasion. Vadim Shishimarin is accused of killing an unarmed 62-year-old civilian by the side of a road in a village in the Sumy region of northeastern Ukraine in late February.

The conflict appeared poised to disrupt some gas supplies via pipeline from Russia, as Ukraine said it would stop the transit of some Russian gas running through its borders into Europe starting Wednesday morning local time. “The interference of the occupying forces in technical processes” meant Ukraine could no longer ensure the transit of gas through territories occupied by Russia, and would impede the flow of about one-third of Russian gas running through Ukraine, according to the country’s state-owned energy company Naftogaz.

Russian forces continued to pummel eastern Ukraine on Wednesday, while Ukraine’s military said it successfully repelled a dozen Russian attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said late Tuesday that Russian forces “are gradually being pushed away” from the Kharkiv region. Meanwhile, the Moscow-backed leadership of the occupied Kherson region in southern Ukraine plans to ask President Vladimir Putin to make Kherson part of Russia, the state-owned news agency Tass said Wednesday, citing a pro-Moscow official in the region. Ukraine responded by vowing to liberate Kherson.

Here’s what else to know

  • The Senate is expected to vote this week on an aid package for Ukraine that the House overwhelmingly approved Tuesday night — raising total U.S. military, economic and humanitarian support provided during the conflict to more than $50 billion.
  • Ukrainian fighters remaining inside the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol are pleading for the wounded among them to be evacuated. Russia may be attempting to reopen steel plants to produce military equipment, according to the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington think tank.
