The war has sparked fears of a global food crisis -- Ukraine and Russia are among the top wheat exporters in the world. But Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said "certain results have been achieved", pointing to the "liberation" of some areas from what he called the "pro-Nazi armed forces of Ukraine". "Victory will be ours," he said in a video speech marking the 100th day of the war. Russia's defence ministry said it had struck a "deployment point for foreign mercenaries" in the village of Dachne in the Odessa region. "The Russian army, as we understand, is throwing all its power, all its reserves in this direction," said Gaiday, who on Friday claimed that Ukrainian troops had won back a fifth of the city. The press service of Ukraine's presidential office on Saturday said Russian attacks killed four civilians in the Lugansk region as a whole.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukrainian forces are withstanding the Russian onslaught around a key eastern city as Russian troops intensify attacks.

Such weapons tend to cause a higher number of civilian casualties. He added that Ukraine’s Donbas region is “simply devastated,” calling it “once one of the most powerful industrial centers in Europe.” “Russia has been able to increase its employment of tactical air to support its creeping advance, combining airstrikes and massed artillery fires to bring its overwhelming firepower to bear,” the ministry said in one its regular updates on the situation in Ukraine.

Kyiv, Moscow both claim gains around Sievierodonetsk · Macron says it's important not to humiliate Russia · Kyiv rejects Macron's offer to mediate.

"Right now, our soldiers have pushed them back, (the Russians) are suffering huge casualties," Gaidai said in a live TV broadcast. That is why we must stop Russia and restrain it in the future." "Because it is Russia that humiliates itself. Moscow has said the Western weapons will pour "fuel on the fire," but will not change the course of what it calls a "special military operation" to disarm Ukraine and rid it of nationalists. We all better focus on how to put Russia in its place. This will bring peace and save lives."

On speeding the rate of advance, the institute said it believed “Russian forces are unlikely to be able to do so”. New tactics that “will make it possible to significantly increase the effectiveness of offensive manoeuvres” had been identified, Kadyrov added. But the British said it had come at a cost.

Ukrainian forces have recaptured 20 percent of territory lost in Severodonetsk, Luhansk regional governor says.

“If the work of the Russian media – operators and journalists – is not normalised in the United States, the most stringent measures will inevitably follow,” ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. The risk of a severe food crisis is particularly felt in the developing world, he warned. We appreciate the support of our foreign partners & ask for reinforcement of arms supply, artillery & MLRS, aircraft & air defence systems. “I must say that this is an attempt, as our people say, to shift these problems from a sick to a healthy head. I want to thank our military, volunteers and the entire Ukrainian nation. 100 days of resistance, bravery and fortitude.

And then, believe me, the Russian infantry, they will just run," Mr Gaidai said. - Britain's defence ministry said that on the 100th day of Russia's invasion that Moscow failed to achieve its initial objectives to seize Kyiv and Ukrainian centres of government but was achieving tactical success in the Donbas "The increased use of unguided munitions has led to the widespread destruction of built-up areas in the Donbas and has almost certainly caused substantial collateral damage and civilian casualties," the ministry said in a tweet. - President Zelensky appeared with members of his government in a heartening video posted on social media to mark the100th day of the warin Ukraine on Friday It said Russia increased its use of tactical air to support its creeping advance, combining air strikes and massed artillery attacks to bring its firepower to bear as its operational focus has switched to the Donbas. In a TV broadcast, Serhiy Gaidai said the Ukrainian military continued to hold its positions inside the besieged factory city and was pushing back Russian forces in several locations. Russian forces are blowing up bridges across the Seversky Donets river to prevent Ukraine bringing in military reinforcements and delivering aid to civilians in the town of Severodonetsk, the governor of the Luhansk region said.

The eastern Ukrainian city of Severodonetsk, near the border between Luhansk and Donetsk, has emerged as a focal point of Russia's war in Ukraine in recent ...

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. Putin has described Russians and Ukrainians as “one people” and sought to undermine the idea of Ukrainian nationhood. Severodonetsk is one of the last cities standing in the way of Russia controlling the region. The fight: A slowly regenerating Russian army is making incremental gains in eastern Ukraine against valiant but underequipped Ukrainian forces. But Haidai struck a bullish note and called that timeline “completely unrealistic,” even as Moscow reportedly rushes more troops to the key eastern city. Russia will gain a ruined city, with the stench of corpses filling the summer air. The battle for Severodonetsk is a continuation of the struggle that began with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2014. Haidai told local media Friday that Ukrainian forces had managed to regain control over 20 percent of the city. Russia has been trying to cut off Ukrainian troops there from their supply lines to the west. Russian forces pushed past the line of contact to capture almost all of Luhansk in recent months. The Donbas region is known as Ukraine’s industrial center, and Severodonetsk contains several factories as well as the Azot chemical plant, one of Ukraine’s largest manufacturers of nitrogen fertilizers. Fierce fighting continues to rage there as Ukrainian troops seek to prevent Russia from seizing the entire city.
