From Northern Kharkov to Southern Kherson, Russian pressure is relentless, and Kiev’s defenses are barely holding.
The Russia-Ukraine peace talks are all but dead, and the war continues, brutal as ever, to its inevitable end – capitulation or annihilation of Ukraine.

Reuters reported:
“’Our troops in the zone of the special military operation are advancing in practically all directions’, the Defense Ministry quoted Gerasimov as saying.
‘And the heaviest fighting is occurring in the Krasnoarmeysk direction’, he added, using the Soviet-era name for the city of Pokrovsk, ‘where the enemy, by any means and taking no account of losses, is trying unsuccessfully to stop our advances and seize back the initiative’. The Ukrainian military, he was quoted as saying, ‘has deployed the best-trained and most capable fighting units, taking them from other areas. And that facilitates the advance of our troops in other sectors’.”
