According to the intelligence update released by the UK Defence Ministry, Ukrainian troops retain control of multiple defended sectors and do not allow Russian forces to take control of the Donbass. The Defence Ministry said that Russian forces continue to pressurise the Severodonetsk region. He added, “Depending on the outcome of the conflict, we may have to continue that for some time.” In recent days, Russia has likely moved 50-year-old T-62 tanks from deep storage into the SGF’s area of responsibility," the UK MoD briefing said. The Russian embassy in the US on Thursday yet again accused Ukraine of running US-backed bio laboratories. The Ukrainian Defence Ministry further claimed that the enemy's main focus in the Kharkiv region is to maintain the occupied positions and prevent Kyiv's forces from entering such areas. He further claimed that over 1,500 were killed since the war broke out in Ukraine. According to the head of the Territorial Defense Force centre in Dnipro, Hennadiy Korban, the Russian forces fired at least three missiles at Dnipropetrovsk Oblast on Friday. Surprisingly, earlier the Defense Ministry had ordered that only 20 service people can be stationed in one place. Ukrainian authorities have expressed concern and fear that Belarus may agree to wider participation in the war. The military of the self-proclaimed Donetsk republic said on Telegram that rebel forces, supported by the Russian troops, as of Friday “have liberated and taken full control of 220 settlements, including Lyman.” Lyman, which had a pre-war population of over 20,000, is a large railway hub in the Donetsk region, north of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, cities that remain under Ukrainian control. Ukraine’s leader expressed frustration with EU for holding back the sixth sanctions package, saying that the European struggled to reach a consensus on its latest sanctions, funding the brutal war in Ukraine. "How many more weeks will the European Union try to agree on a sixth package?" Russia-backed rebels in eastern Ukraine claim to have taken control of Lyman, a town in the Donetsk region. The spokesman also said that Ukrainian forces were countering Russia's attempts to push them out from north-western and south-eastern parts of Lyman.

“I repent and ask for a reduction in the sentence,” he said. “And the cost to Ukraine of life and matériel will continue to increase. While the report’s authors noted that they were using a lower standard of proof than would be required in international courts, they said there were “reasonable grounds to conclude” Russia was in violation of the Genocide Convention. Mr. Draghi, who has taken a hard line against Russia in traditionally Moscow-friendly Italy, said economic pressure was important “because we have to bring Moscow to the negotiating table.” “There was a regrouping of the armed forces in order to take fortified positions.” In the end, American officials say, the hard choices will have to be made by Mr. Zelensky and his government. And they have one goal in mind: “to go home,” said 13-year-old Nikita, from the Donetsk region, a key target of Russia’s territorial aims. Local officials said that fierce fighting was underway and that Russian forces had surrounded two-thirds of the mining and industrial city in the Luhansk region. The nation’s financial situation, he said, was forcing “us as a movement to determine that there are a lot of heroic people around the world who will have to rely on the resources from other countries. It reflected the increasing potency of the “America First” impulse in the Republican Party, and how thoroughly it has trickled up to the thought leaders shaping its policy worldview. One report said that the United States “must ensure that its massive humanitarian aid response helps the Ukrainian people to survive Russia’s war of aggression.” Moscow’s strikes continued to exact a daily toll on Friday, and not just in the eastern Donbas region where the fighting is concentrated.

In his nightly address to the nation, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had some harsh words for the European Union, which has not agreed on a sixth round of sanctions that includes an embargo on Russian oil. On Thursday, Russian shelling of Kharkiv, a northeastern city, killed nine people, including a father and his 5-month-old baby, the president said. The figure includes people killed by shelling or in fires caused by Russian missile strikes, as well as those who died from shrapnel wounds, untreated diseases, a lack of medicine or while trapped under rubble, the mayor said. Ukrainian analysts said Russian forces have taken advantage of delays in Western arms shipments to step up their offensive there. Just south of Sievierodonetsk, volunteers hoped to evacuate 100 people from a smaller town. Authorities say 1,500 people have died in Donbas since the war began scarcely more than three months ago.

Moscow "will likely fail to meet its obligation and face default, an enduring sign of their status as a pariah in the global financial system," she said. When the U.S. sanctioned the Russian central bank earlier this year, it allowed an exception for Russia to pay its bondholders through U.S. banks. Ukraine argues it could be a gamechanger in its war against Russia, according to the report. However, no new advances by Russian troops were made in the Donetsk region, the official added. Do not be on the streets unnecessarily and do not ignore air alarms." Turkey's leadership accuses Sweden of supporting the PKK, which has carried out numerous attacks in Turkey and which Sweden has designated a terrorist organization since 1984. That's very, very clear," Azeem Ibrahim, a director at the U.S.-based think tank New Lines Institute for Strategy and Policy, said. Russian forces were "continuing to chew through ground" in the Donbas region, making "slow, but I'm afraid palpable, progress," Johnson added. Kyiv is now pushing for Western allies' help in unblocking the ports and guaranteeing safe passage for Ukrainian shipping vessels. "To amplify our strength to solve problems, to project our power beyond what we can do alone and to preserve stability in an uncertain world." At least 2,274 people have died in those areas, according to the UN. The area was shelled by Russian artillery in March.

Putin says accusations towards Russia for difficulties shipping grain worldwide 'groundless', blames Western sanctions.

“Russia and [the] Russian blockade of Odesa is the only reason why Ukrainian agricultural products are not making it to the global market,” Kuleba said. “For us, Finland’s military assistance is very valuable,” Zelenskyy wrote on Facebook after talks with the Finnish leader. Pentagon Spokesperson John Kirby said the defence attache, a colonel, has gone back to Kyiv with other embassy staff. Among the wounded in Kharkiv is also a nine-year-old girl,” Zelenskyy said in his nighttime address. Russia accuses Ukraine of mining the ports and Ukraine has described the Russian position as “blackmail”. If convicted, the servicemen could face up to 12 years in prison. The Russian servicemen, Alexander Alexeevich Ivanov and Alexander Vladimirovich Bobykin, are charged with shelling civilian infrastructure with a multiple rocket launcher. The EU is discussing a sixth round of punitive measures, including an embargo on Russian oil imports. “There are things to discuss with the Russian leader. Those who defy the country’s ban on travelling to Ukraine can be jailed for up to a year or fined 10 million won ($8,000). “And the way it captured [the city] shows that there are very talented commanders who organised the operation correctly. The Ukrainian leader added Russia did not appear ready to begin talks.

Russian forces have made slow but persistent advances as they bombarded and sought to encircle both Lysychansk and Sievierodonetsk.

Kuleba said that the situation in the east of the country, where the Russian forces are on the offensive, is "even worse than people say. “We are paying the price, but we do that for the future of our free, our democratic country,” Zelenskyy said. If you really care for Ukraine, weapons, weapons and weapons again,” the minister stressed. “There is a very strong consensus in NATO for the admission of Finland and Sweden,” Blinken said. The only position where Russia is better than us it’s the amount of heavy weapons they have. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday spoke passionately about patriotism and the future of democracy in Ukraine in response to questions from graduating Stanford University students. Biden said Putin wanted to try to make all of Europe like Finland – a nonaligned, neutral country. At least 23,800 kilometers of roads, more than 6,300 railways and 41 railway bridges have been damaged, destroyed or seized. They will be vulnerable to modern anti-tank weapons, such as the U.S.-supplied Javelin. I inspire people and people inspire me.” “I had no choice,” he said through a translator. Instead, Putin has “NATO-ized all of Europe,” Biden said, a reference to the decision by Finland and Sweden to apply for membership in the transatlantic alliance.

Ukrainian analysts said Russian forces have taken advantage of delays in Western arms shipments to step up their offensive there. Russia-backed rebels said Friday that they had taken over Lyman, Donetsk's large railway hub north of two more key cities still under Ukrainian control. That aggressive push could backfire, however, by seriously depleting Russia's arsenal. Authorities say 1,500 people have died in Donbas since the war began scarcely more than three months ago. More than 20,000 of its civilians are feared dead. Before the war, Sievierodonetsk was home to around 100,000 people. Hints of Russia's strategy for the Donbas can be found in Mariupol, where Moscow is consolidating its control through measures including state-controlled broadcast programming and overhauled school curricula, according to an analysis from the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington think tank. About 12,000 to 13,000 remain in the city, Striuk said, huddled in shelters and largely cut off from the rest of Ukraine. At least 1,500 people have died because of the war, now in its 93rd day.

Ukraine says its forces may need to retreat from the last pocket of resistance in Luhansk to avoid being captured by Russian troops.

But both Britain and the United States appear to be leaning toward sending it, CNN reported, with an announcement to come as soon as next week.

Lyman is near a highway connecting Slovyansk to Severodonetsk, a city in the Luhansk region that has come under intense Russian attack in recent weeks. The boycotts of certain products and Russian cultural figures have attracted criticism from some in the West as well. “There is mounting evidence that Russian soldiers have internalized and are responding to the State propaganda campaign by echoing its content while committing atrocities.” Russia sent mixed signals Thursday about whether it intends to free up millions of tons of grain. He told Nehammer that Ukrainians must demine ports to allow safe passage of vessels, and accused Kyiv of sabotaging talks between Russia and Ukraine. They say it is necessary to curb the advance of Russian forces, which claimed full control of the strategic eastern city of Lyman on Friday, handing Moscow another victory in its offensive in Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region.
