Russian President says his forces are acting ‘bravely’ in Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin says his country’s military is acting ‘bravely’ in Ukraine.

Leaving a trail of death and destruction behind them, Russian forces have retreated from northern Ukraine.

Ukraine’s President Zelensky says Russia is repositioning and regrouping troops for its next offensive in the east.

Thousands of soldiers are allegedly being concentrated into one region, after Russian forces were prevented from taking the capital of Kyiv.

Russia says its main objective now sits in overthrowing the eastern part of its neighbouring nation

Despite the aggression and destruction inflicted by Russian troops in Ukraine, Zelensky says that his military isn’t giving up, with his government remaining ready for a full-scale battle.

As Kremlin forces head towards Ukraine’s east, the governor of Ukraine’s Donetsk region has spoken of fierce fighting there – stating tha “the battles are continuing all day, every day”.

It’s Ukraine who is still waiting for heavy weaponry – fighter jets, NASAMS, tanks.

Why the world is sol deaf to our requests? Thank you for drones, but it couldn’t stop Russian army. #StandWithUkraine

In an interview with the BBC, Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko says hostilities were particularly intense on the demarcation line, separating territory controlled by the Ukrainian government from territory occupied by Russian forces or those allied to them, including rebels.

The governor says Ukrainian forces in the region had “massively reinforced” themselves with the aid of military equipment sent by Western nations like the United States, reiterating the point that any help to Ukraine was “very important at the moment”.

US Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby says there is one man who can end all of this unnecessary pain and suffering as President Biden and Indian Prime Minister Modi met online to discuss Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
