Satellite images in April showed what appeared to be mass graves just outside Mariupol, where local officials accused Russia of concealing the slaughter by burying up to 9000 civilians. Speaking at a joint media conference with Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa, Zelenskyy said his forces were fighting to "liberate our territory" and the price of "tens or hundreds of thousands of lives" was too high to surrender it. The city is critical to Russia's objective of capturing all of eastern Ukraine and there was fierce fighting there last month after Moscow's troops backed off from Kyiv. The seaside steelworks, occupying some 11sq km, was a battleground for weeks. Portugal pledged up to €250 million, as well as continued shipments of military equipment. Many Russian troops already had been redeployed from Mariupol to elsewhere in the conflict. Russian officials and state media have sought to characterise the fighters as neo-Nazis and criminals. There was no confirmation from the Ukrainian side.

Slutsky did not say the number of Azov fighters Moscow was considering for exchange. That is why we turn to our partners with inquiries regarding the relevant weapons,” he added. One of the ways is a military solution. And they’ll start a new offensive, even more bloody and large scale, taking into account all mistakes,” Podolyak added.

Country's president emphasises need for talks to resume with Russia after previous negotiations stalled.

On Friday, Russia claimed to have taken full control of the besieged city of Mariupol – in what has been described as Moscow’s biggest prize since it invaded Ukraine in February – after the last group of Ukrainian soldiers holed up in the Azovstal steelworks surrendered. “I now hope that soon the families and all of Ukraine will be able to bury their fighters with honours.” During the interview, Zelenskiy spoke of a document about security guarantees for his country. “Under what format I don’t know – with intermediaries, without them, in a broader group, at the presidential level. He added: “There are things that can only be reached at the negotiating table. The move marked an end to the three-month siege of the defenders’ last stronghold in the city.

A recent concert in St. Petersburg, Russia, became the site of yet another protest by Russian citizen's against the country's invasion of Ukraine.

The latest: Severodonetsk, the easternmost city under Ukraine’s control, is set to be the war’s next major battlefield, with local officials reporting intense Russian shelling in recent days. The weapons: Ukraine is making use of weapons such as Javelin antitank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, provided by the United States and other allies. “The ability for players of any nationality to enter tournaments based on merit, and without discrimination, is fundamental to our Tour,” the ATP said in a statement. Kharkiv region: At least seven people were wounded, including an 11-year-old, in a Russian missile strike on a cultural center in Lozova, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, referring to the violence as "absolute evil.” Regional governor Oleg Synegubov said the strike was deliberate. Severodonetsk: Officials in this key city, the easternmost under Ukrainian control, are bracing for a major, drawn-out battle as experts anticipate a Russian bid to take control of it. Last month, Russia halted gas shipments to Poland and Bulgaria, which are both NATO and European Union members that have supported Ukraine in its fight against Russia. The Kremlin warned other European leaders that they may face the same fate. Finland relies heavily on Russia for gas, though that gas only makes up about 5 percent of Finland’s overall energy consumption as it is steadily transitioning to renewables and other alternative fuel sources. Rosneft said Schröder had informed the company that it was “impossible” to continue in the role. And Schröder has become an increasing embarrassment to his party and much of the country as Russia has waged its new offensive in Ukraine. The move is not expected to disrupt the Nordic state’s energy network, as Finland is able to make up the shortfall from elsewhere. Russia on Friday claimed full control of the Azovstal steel plant in the Black Sea port city of Mariupol, and said more than 1,900 Ukrainian fighters from the facility have surrendered — though that figure drastically exceeds other estimates. Severodonetsk, the easternmost city under Ukraine’s control, is set to be the war’s next major battlefield, with local officials reporting intense Russian shelling in recent days.

It is one of only a handful like it in the world, including just two in Russia. Then, in the second half, Serhiy is released in a prisoner swap, and everything about his life, including his chic, high-rise apartment and his relationship with his angsty young daughter, takes on a zombified state, enveloped in a dissociative haze even as he tries to repair himself. In Valentyn Vasyanovych’s austere drama “Reflection” (in select theaters), a Ukrainian surgeon, Serhiy, is captured by Russian soldiers and forced to help dispose of the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers who died while being tortured. A number of recent and upcoming films by Ukrainian filmmakers, born of the continuing conflict, try to articulate these tensions, some more directly in conversation with the brutalities of war than others. Maksym Nakonechnyi’s “Butterfly Vision,” premiering at Cannes in the coming days, follows a Ukrainian reconnaissance expert struggling to adjust to normal life after being raped and detained as a prisoner of war. At the same time, some Russian officials have pushed to label one group of the soldiers — members of the Azov battalion — as terrorists, and to try them on war crimes charges. Many of the approximately 900 people who lived there before the Russian invasion fled, and only a few have returned. Prime Minister Boris Johnson of Britain and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey agreed in a phone call on Friday evening to seek to unlock vital supply routes for Ukrainian grain stocks, as food prices rise across the globe. To the south, if Moscow’s assertion of a definitive victory at the Azovstal complex is confirmed, Russian forces fully control a broad swath of port access and land transit. Finland’s natural gas imports from Russia have been cut off, a spokeswoman for the Finnish state energy provider said on Saturday. The company, Gasum, did not comply with Moscow’s demand to make payments in rubles instead of euros. Russia portrayed the move as a bid to attract recruits with professional degrees and skills, but analysts saw a signal of military depletion. Ukraine has not confirmed Moscow’s claim that it has full control of the sprawling complex in the port city.

Russian authorities have threatened to investigate some of the steel mill's defenders for war crimes and put them on trial, branding them "Nazis" and criminals. It has found immense reservoirs of national resolve, and support from the West. But whether that will be enough to achieve its objectives is not clear. And Russia will feel the weight of every missile, every bomb, every shell which it has fired at us," he said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed a formal deal with the country's allies to secure Russian compensation for the damage its forces have caused during the war. The unidentified woman tore off her clothes during the film's red carpet procession to reveal the message “Stop raping us” written across her torso next to the blue and yellow colours of the Ukraine flag. “The road is extremely important because it's the only connection to other regions of the country,” he said via email.

There was no immediate confirmation from Ukraine. (Here’s why the loss of the Mariupol steel plant is significant) Ukraine has successfully defended Kyiv, and Russia has refocused its offensive on the country’s east, but American officials warn of the potential for a prolonged conflict.

The weapons: Ukraine is making use of weapons such as Javelin antitank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, provided by the United States and other allies. The mistake cost the 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade dearly, according to an analysis from the Institute of the Study of War, with an estimated 485 casualties and the loss of 80 pieces of equipment. The fight: A slowly regenerating Russian army is making incremental gains in eastern Ukraine against valiant but underequipped Ukrainian forces. “You just get this feeling like they’ve abandoned everything they’ve tried to learn over the last 10 years and reverted to an older style that they’re more comfortable with,” Boston said. The latest: Severodonetsk, the easternmost city under Ukraine’s control, is set to be the war’s next major battlefield, with local officials reporting intense Russian shelling in recent days. Still, the trajectory of the conflict perplexes him. A grave mistake, Lee said, was the failure of Russian commanders to send smaller numbers of troops across the river. President Biden on Saturday signed a $40 billion package of new military and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. Among them, according to the British Ministry of Defense, are Lt. Gen. Serhiy Kisel, who presided over the 1st Guards Tank Army’s failed effort to capture the northeastern city of Kharkiv, and Vice Adm. Igor Osipov, who was in charge of Russia’s Black Sea fleet when Ukrainian forces sank its flagship, the Moskva. The humiliating blow to Russia’s navy was carried out using the Neptune anti-ship missiles that Ukraine makes. Scott Boston, a former U.S. Army officer who studies the Ukraine war for Rand Corp., said it appears there are massive morale problems within the Russian military, undermining Moscow’s goals. As the war grinds on and Russia’s battlefield gains remain “uneven” and “incremental,” according to the Pentagon’s latest assessment, several of its high-ranking commanders have been sacked. A Pentagon spokesperson told The Washington Post that the United States had no comment on Russia’s claim.

The "informed elite" within Russian security forces "understand that the war is lost," said Bellingcat's lead Russia investigator Christo Grozev.

There are those in Putin's inner circle who may pressure him to use nuclear or chemical weapons, Grozev continued, but others will say "enough is enough." Grozev said that security officials with the FSB, who know how many Russian soldiers have died, think Putin is losing his grip on power. To have a chance of winning the war, Grozev said, the Russian president would need full mobilization but this would cause problems for him at home.
