Russia Ukraine conflict
Russia hopes to conquer the entire eastern province of Luhansk and demands to hand over separatists to Ukraine
Ukraine has called on Western countries to speed up the supply of weapons as Russia's better armed forces attack in the east, and on humanitarian aid to fight the growing deadlines.
In Sievierodonetsk, a small town that became the center of Russian advance in eastern Ukraine and one of the bloodiest hotbeds of the war until its fourth month, further heavy fighting was reported.
The war in the east, on which Russia has focused its attention, is now primarily an artillery war in which Kyiv was severely killed, Ukrainian officials said. This means that events can only change if Washington and others are able to deliver on promises to launch better weapons, including missile systems.
"At the moment, it is an artillery war, Vadym Skibitsky, deputy commander of Ukraine's military intelligence, told the British Guardian newspaper. Now it all depends on what (the West) has to offer. Ukraine has an artillery range of 10 to 15 Russian artillery pieces.
Germany, one of the largest arms suppliers since the invasion of Russia, but criticized for delaying the supply of heavy weapons, which Kiev says is necessary, intends to change its rules on arms exports. .
In the south, the mayor of Mariupol - devastated by the Russian attack - said the sanitation systems were broken and looked like street rats.
Diarrhea and cholera have broken out, Vadym Boichenko told national television. The war that took more than 20,000 people ... Unfortunately, thousands of other Mariupolites have been declared in these outbreaks,He said, adding that some wells were contaminated with corpses.
Boichenko called on the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross to create a humanitarian corridor to leave the remaining inhabitants of the city, which is now controlled by Russia.
In a broader impact of the war, the Food and Agriculture Organization says a reduction in wheat and other food exports from Ukraine and Russia could lead to a serious famine by up to 19 million more people next year.
Ukraine claims that Russia is regrouping troops and accumulating ammunition and fuel in preparation for an offensive in Sloviansk and Siversk, cities in the Donetsk region.
Arms experts from France are helping their Ukrainian counterparts gather evidence of possible Russian war crimes in the northern Chernihiv region, the Ukrainian prosecutor general said. Russia denies targeting civilians.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Saturday reaffirmed Washington's commitment to the region over Russia actions.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is what happens if the oppressors break the rules that protect us all," Austin told the Asian Security Forum in Singapore. "It's an example of a possible world of chaos and chaos that none of us want to live in.
