Ukraine presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovich told local television that Russian troops were being redeployed towards the Donbas region south of Kharkiv after withdrawing, following a Ukrainian counteroffensive. "Thirty-six civilian facilities were destroyed, including residential buildings, a mosque, a factory, a cafe," it said on Telegram.
In a strategic blow for Russia, which has long opposed NATO expansion, Finland yesterday confirmed it would apply to join the Atlantic military alliance. Since mid-April, Russian forces have focused much of their firepower on trying to capture two eastern provinces. Ukraine has deployed many of its new US M-777 howitzers at the front lines, and the US has delivered all but one of the 90 artillery pieces they were due to send, the US embassy in Kyiv said.Fighting around Izium
God Bless Russia. She will rise victorious. All prophesisef
Who in their right mind would trust the Russian scum, after all of the horrific things that they've done to Ukrainians already? Absoutely no reason why the UN, Red Cross, or a neutral county can't go in and get them out
Headline should read 'Russia again has offered the wounded soldiers to surrender'.
War is not going well for Russia.....
You're not safe from the Russians even if you're a Russian Soldier... let alone a Ukrainian..
In other words Russia will take wounded Ukrainian soldiers to Novoazovsk to be tortured and eventually to be executed
