In an intelligence briefing this morning, the Ministry of Defense said: “Ukrainian counter-attacks, and Russian forces falling back on overextended supply lines, has allowed Ukraine to re-occupy towns and defensive positions up to 35 kilometers (22 miles) east of Kyiv.” However, British military chiefs stressed that Russian troops, with “dwindling” morale, were being forced back in some areas near the capital. Russian troops were said to be gradually seizing territory in fierce fighting in the port city on the Azov Sea. Mr Putin’s forces were also accused of starving to death civilians with the siege of Mariupol which has been cut off from electricity and running water for weeks, and where supplies of food and medicine are low. However, the sheer horror of the war is growing by the day, with reports that 300 people died in a Russia attack on a theater in Mariupol, where more than 1,000 people were sheltering in the basement. Because in this war it is simply impossible for us not to win.”
With Vladimir Putin’s lightning invasion plan now lying in tatters, the Russian president has resorted to a “barbaric” strategy of seeking to bombard cities into submission.īut with Russian ground advances having been thwarted on many fronts, Mr Zelensky said: “With each day of our defence, we are bringing the peace we need so much closer. Russian troops have been made to retreat up to 22 miles east of the capital, according to British defense chiefs.
