No Ukrainian president will ever surrender an inch of Ukrainian soil and President Zelenskyy, expectedly, rebuffed even the notion that this will change, ever. Especially the heavily fortified areas in the northern Donetsk region.

The New York Post says it how it is.

A downed Russian surveillance drone type Gerbera contained test footage from the Chinese factory from which it was delivered.

Ukrainian forces precisely struck a Russian border station in the Bryansk region.

Ukrainian forces struck an oil depot near Russian-occupied Simferopol in Crimea. The oil depot is key for the fuel transfer in this occupied territory as well as for the Russian army.

Russian forces launched today a large armored assault of around 29 vehicles. Their aim was a flanking attack against Ukrainian lines in Shakhove and Volodymyrivka, some 18 km (11 miles) northeast of Pokrovsk.

What Russians did the last 48h: - Bombing a kindergarten in Kharkiv - carpet bombing of Kherson with unguided MLRS fire - hunted farmers on their fields with FPV drones - Killed a 84-year old female with a FPV drone - Fired ballistic missiles at Kyiv

Just in time the EU council adopted today the 19th sanction package against Russia. It targets the Russian energy and finance sector as well as the military industrial complex.
