There are currently 88 battles going on in Ukraine, the Ukrainian General Staff announced on Sunday evening. Most of these are located in the east of the country. Among other things, glide bombs and drones are said to have been used.
“During the day, the enemy has intensively increased the pace of its offensive and storming actions and is looking for ways to either drive a wedge into our defense or drive the Ukrainian units from their positions,” the General Staff said on Sunday . Many Russian attempts to storm enemy positions were repulsed. The Russian Air Force dropped heavy glide bombs on the defensive positions – a response to the weaknesses of the Ukrainian air defenses.
Strongly linked to defense
The information from Kiev could not be independently verified. Since last fall, the Ukrainian military has been heavily defensive due to a lack of arms and ammunition supplies from the West. The front has recently stabilized and Russian territorial gains have remained small since then.
All peace initiatives of Russian President Vladimir Putin are related to the current conditions on the front, the Kremlin said on Sunday. “Every time it gets worse for Ukraine,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Russian state television. A responsible politician would therefore consider the offer. At the same time, Peskov stated that there would be no contract with Ukraine because the local president, Volodymyr Zelensky, would no longer be a legitimate representative of the country after the expiry of his term.
‘Putin wants to divide the world’
As reported, a few days ago Putin called for the complete withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the occupied regions of Kherson, Donetsk, Luhansk and Zaporizhia – as a condition for any peace negotiations at all (see video above). “Putin is not looking for peace, he wants to divide the world,” the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said. He started the war himself and was not a peacemaker.
According to calculations by the independent internet portal Meduza, the Russian authorities would only have real control of the four areas in fourteen years – assuming the pace of conquests matches that of recent months.
