Ukraine’s president says the capital will only fall to Russian troops if it is completely destroyed, while Moscow warns western shipments of arms to Ukraine could be attacked
The Ukrainian ministry of defence has just released its daily operational report as of 10pm Saturday, local time. According to military officials, an “uncertainty of the military leadership of the Russian federation in matters of strategic objectives” and fierce resistance from Ukrainian forces has hindered Russia’s operational goals. “Measures are being taken to restore combat capability and regroup troops.
The enemy is trying to reconnoitre and clarify the positions of the armed forces of Ukraine and possible ways of attack,” the report reads.\nOfficials also warn of a “high probability” of direct participation of the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus against Ukraine as well as an increase in operation reserves from the airborne forces. “Military and civilian infrastructure continues to be destroyed,” while Russian forces continue attempts to storm the city of Mariupol.
