Russia Ukraine LIVE updates
According to the news organisation, top Biden administration officials told legislators the location of the troops during a briefing on Thursday evening . The latest figures from the Ukrainian defence ministry place Russian fatalities in combat at 800 in the hours to 3am on Friday . The watch’s move from the pocket to the wrist is credited to the war too, as our hands were needed for far more important things – like steering an aeroplane, or dropping a mortar into a field cannon.
On Friday, another offensive line opened up with an attack on Russian positions in Lyman , which had been taken by the Russians after a fierce battle at the end of May. Reports suggest that both Izyum and Kupyansk have either fallen or are close to falling, with Russians troops in disarray. According to the Ukrainians, hundreds of Russians have already been killed and many captured.Ukrainian sourceshave described whole units wiped out. It is not clear how many Russian troops may be caught by these manoeuvres—perhaps some 10,000. What we can be sure of is that the Kharkiv offensive was not impulsive.
A fireball appeared on cameras just as the truck was parallel to a train carrying fuel, adding to the conflagration that has reduced traffic on the bridge to single lanes for vehicles and trains. If it was a truck bomb, he said it could indicate that it was followed either from the air or by another vehicle whose pilot or driver could relay the optimal time to detonate. Russian investigators say three people were killed in the explosion, but it is not known whether they were participants or innocent bystanders. Most defence experts think it’s unlikely it was a missile attack. The bridge was out of the reach of Kyiv’s US-supplied Himars, a medium-range guided artillery rocket system, and American defence officials had warned that they were not to be used on the bridge, according to a US and a Ukrainian official.
Meanwhile the International Criminal Court prosecutor has launched an investigation into possible Russian war crimes following a referral to The Hague by Australia and 38 other nations. I continued flicking through the stories, sometimes watching them twice. The last story is of a helicopter flying overheard with the sound of gunfire, and the pretty fireworks cascade of flak from the weapons affixed to the helicopter.
Especially, the deliberate targeting of Ukrainian Civilian Infrastructure, which is against International Law. Ukraine has a right to be able to defend itself against this. Their use of Storm Shadow will allow Ukraine to push back Russian forces based within Ukrainian Sovereign Territory.
Thousands of citizens have been sent to sinister "filtration" camps before being forcibly relocated to Russia. Some 6,000 children - ranging in ages from 4 months to 17 years - are now in "re-education camps" across Ukraine Combat footage Russia. Today, I want to update the House on Russia's attacks on civilians and critical national infrastructure in Ukraine. Aim to get to the bottom of why that footage is there and whether it is reliable.
US and European officials are holding one key financial sanction against Russia in reserve, choosing not to boot the country off SWIFT, the dominant system for global financial transactions. “This morning we are defending our state alone, as we did yesterday. The world's most powerful forces are watching from afar,” he said. On February 28, Mr Khan said the prosecutor’s office had already found a “reasonable basis” that war crimes had been committed during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine .
Aligned and united with the international community, we are helping the Ukrainians defend their homeland. Most importantly, it is responsive to Russia's own actions. None of this would have been necessary, had Russia not invaded. But now it is about pushing back their forces and deterring them from committing yet more crimes by holding the Russian military establishment to account for their actions. The fact is Russia has used cluster munitions with wholesale disregard for human life and civilians. A 9M79-series Tochka ballistic missile delivering a 9N123 cluster munition warhead killed four civilians and injured another 10, including six healthcare workers.
