Russia, Ukraine accuse each other of attempting cross-border attack

A total of five attacks were carried out by the enemy during the day,

the ministry said

This is a method of information warfare—the enemy claims that it is there before it has entered. I do not confirm the information that Russia entered the settlements of Stepovoye, Mali Shcherbaky, or Shcherbaky and took them under control."

Voloshyn said

Fierce fighting continues in this area. The enemy is trying to change the configuration of the combat line in its favor. In total, six combat engagements were registered in the Orikhiv sector over the last day. The day before yesterday, there were 19.

They will have to choose: Either they focus on establishing a buffer zone, securing some kind of political victory, or they reinforce their existing offensive axes to increase the territory they control and use that as leverage in negotiations,

he said

We washed him, covered him in a blanket, men dug out a hole and we put him there,

she told AFP, clutching her purple coat and shaking

Peace agreements and peace negotiations,

said Yelena Sukhareva, a volunteer from the city of Kursk helping the civilian evacuate

It was a good little town... All my projects there are destroyed,

he said, slapping his knee and shaking his black bereted head

I'm alive! I love you!"

she shouted down the phone to her son, who lives more than 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) away in a region north of Moscow

We did not meet any scoundrels

the white-haired 71-year-old told AFP

They were fixing things, cooking... We had a well but we could not pump water and they pumped water for us with their generator,

she said

In recent days, the attacks on this settlement have not stopped and Russian forces are trying to take full control of it,

DeepState reported

The Americans are lying if they say we had everything we needed for defence,
