War in Donbas

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday a Russian strike on a market in east Ukraine had killed more than a dozen people and wounded more, as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was visiting Kiev.

Ukraine's security service said Monday it had detained an informer accused of helping Russia plot an attack on President Volodymyr Zelensky as he visited a flood-hit region.

The SBU security service said the detained woman was gathering intelligence to try to find out Zelensky's itinerary ahead of his visit to the southern Mykolaiv region.

GERB, "Vazrazhdane" and BSP demanded that the Bulgarian state intervenes in the case with the inclusion of names of Bulgarian citizens in a list of enemies of Ukraine, published on the Ukrainian site "Myrotvorets" (Peacemaker).

"Peace will reign in the morning if the Americans want it. And why the Americans don't want it, that's the question the whole world is thinking about. Ukraine has actually lost its sovereignty - it has no money, no military industry, no military production capacity of its own. Ukraine gets money mainly from the USA, military resources also from the Americans and the West," Orbn points out.

The Moscow-appointed leader of Donetsk region, Denis Pushilin, said on his Telegram channel on Wednesday morning that two children were among those injured in attacks on the city taken by Russian forces in 2014.

According to foreign media, he would ask for help in the form of military forces, that is, for Kim Jong-Un to send 100.000 soldiers for combat operations in Ukraine.
In return, "desperate Putin" as described by the "Daily Mail" in the text, the Russian president would send aid to North Korea in the form of food and energy.

The Russian Ministry of Defense claims that airstrikes destroyed five Ukrainian drones as well as a warehouse of foreign weapons in the west of the country.
On the other hand, the Ukrainian military command says that Moscow is preparing troops to attack Zelensky's hometown.

The Ukrainian military on Tuesday reported destroying a Russian ammunition depot in southern Ukraine, resulting in a massive explosion captured on social media, while rescuers said the death toll from a weekend Russian strike in the country's east grew to 45.

Burned-out cars and splintered trees smolder in the aftermath of a missile strike on Kramatorsk, a city in eastern Ukraine. A body lies on the ground, covered by a sheet. Wounded residents sit dazed and covered in blood. A crater has been gouged in the center of a once-calm, sunlit courtyard.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has ordered the Ukrainian army to recapture the coastal areas in the southern part of the country, for which Ukraine is gathering a million-strong fighting force equipped with Western weapons, according to the Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov.
