Russian troops and Ukraine traded blows in quarter battles close on Sundays in the eastern part of the country that were hit by war as Moscow soldiers, supported by intense shootings, trying to get a strategic foothold to conquer the region. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky also made a rare frontline visit to Kharkiv, the second largest city in the country, to assess national defense forces. Russian troops invaded Sievierodonetsk after trying to not succeed in circling the strategic city of the eastern region, said Ukraine officials. Zelensky described the situation there as “indescribable difficulty,” with a series of incessant Russian artillery -stretching critical infrastructure and damaged 90 percent of buildings.
The following is the top update about the Russian-Ukraine War:
1. Zelensky traveled his first trip on Sunday to the east which was hit by war since the Moscow invasion began, when Russian troops tightened their grip around important cities in the Donbas region. After visiting Kharkiv, Zelensky announced that he had “fired the head of the security of the city of Northeastern,” reported the Reuters news agency. The President of Ukraine said the high official was dismissed “because he did not work to defend the city since the first days of the full scale war, but only thought of himself,” and that while the others had worked hard “very effectively”, the former head owned by the former head no.
2. Russian troops continue to bombard the northeast city from afar, and the explosion can be heard shortly after Zelensky’s visit. The shooting and air strikes have destroyed more than 2,000 apartment buildings in the city since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, according to the Regional Governor, by Syniehubov.
3. Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov quoted said on Sunday that the “liberation” of the East Donbas Ukraine region was “priority without conditions” for Moscow; Other regions must decide their future for themselves. After failing to take the capital of Kyiv in the early phase of the war, Russia tried to consolidate its grip on Donbas, most of which had been controlled by the separatist supported by Moscow, reported Reuters.
4. In a television interview on Sunday, Zelensky said that he believed “Russia will agree to speak if Ukraine can reclaim all the missing regions” since the Reuters invasion quoted him. But he put aside the idea of using the power to win all the land of Ukraine has lost to Russia since 2014.
5. Meanwhile, the Ukraine government urged the West once again to provide it with a longer distance weapon to change the waves in the war, now in its fourth month. The President voiced the hope that weapons would be provided and that he hoped for “good news” in the coming days.
6. Analysts at the Institute for Studies of War in Washington said Russia still had not succeeded in surrounding Sievierodonetsk and Ukraine defenders had caused “frightening victims” to them, Reuters reported on Sunday.
7. Meanwhile, Germany has decided to change the constitution to allow credit -based special defense funds of 100 billion euros ($ 107.35 billion) proposed after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the German Ministry of Finance announced. The agreement was reached Sunday night to create special funds for military procurement which would also allow Berlin to reach NATO targets to spend two percent of GDP for defense.
8. In the case of diplomatic efforts to end the war, the European Union government failed to approve Russian oil embargo on Sundays, but will continue the conversation about the agreement to prohibit Russian oil delivery at sea while allowing shipping by pipeline. If agreed, the agreement will allow Hungarian, Slovakia and Czechia to continue to receive their Russian oil through Druzhba pipes for some time until alternative supplies can be arranged.
