Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russian troops have started a long-anticipated offensive in eastern Ukraine. “We can now confirm that Russian troops have begun the battle for the Donbas, which they have been preparing for a long time,” Zelenskyy said.

Zelenskyy added that a “significant portion of the Russian army is now concentrated on this offensive.” There has been no comment thus far from Russia’s Defense Ministry on the latest fighting.

The general staff of the Ukrainian armed forces said Tuesday that Russian forces were attempting to take full control of the eastern Donbas region.

“The occupiers made an attempt to break through our defenses along nearly the entire frontline in the Donetsk, Luhansk and Kharkiv regions,” a statement said.

  1. Zelensky is a clown who leaves his people to die. His troops around Kratorsk are surrounded. They weren't allowed to retreat. Same for the Azovstal plant, they are dying but not allowed to surrender.

  2. There are many volunteers fighting in ukraine but when they are hit a bullet then died. Western media will

  3. Hope all our brothers and sisters in Russia and Ukraine are safe. If anything Ukraine to learn from this and going forward is to stop excessive use of “Y”. Please use same amount of “Y” like rest of us….no need to follow “Y” with another “Y”….it is just variance of “I” or the greek-i…World Peace!
