He also described the situation in Kharkov as brutal, where, according to Zelenský, the Ukrainian army managed to achieve “significant tactical successes” without further specifying them. According to him, Mariupol, which before the war was one of the most developed Ukrainian cities, became a “Russian open-air concentration camp”. Zelenskyj also said that 23 journalists and media workers had died in the country since the beginning of the war at the end of February. The latest victim was Radio Freedom editor Vira Hyryčová, whose house in Kiev was hit by a Russian rocket on Thursday. The Ukrainian army said this morning that it had repulsed 14 enemy attacks in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. In doing so, it destroyed dozens of pieces of military equipment and neutralized two hundred Russian soldiers. However, the numbers cannot be independently verified. According to the US Department of Defense, the Russian offensive on Donbas is progressing much slower than in Moscow’s imagination. According to a Pentagon official, Russian troops are “at least a few days behind the state they wanted to be”. This is also due to the stubborn defiance of Ukrainian troops. According to the British Ministry of Defense, the battle of Donbas remains Russia’s main strategic military effort to achieve its declared goal of securing control of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Russia does not consider the war in Ukraine a duel with NATO Russia does not believe that it would be at war with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), because such a development would increase the risk of a nuclear conflict. However, NATO believes it is at war with Russia. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an interview with al-Arabiya television, reports the Reuters news agency. “NATO seems to believe that it is at war with Russia. NATO and European Union leaders are bluntly and publicly declaring that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin must fail, that Russia must be defeated. When you use such terminology, I believe that you think you are at war, “Lavrov said. Photo gallery (3) Sergej Lavrov

Lavrov added that Moscow had already submitted many proposals to Kiev on how to resolve the ongoing conflict, but had failed to agree on specific issues with the Ukrainians.
