Fighting continues as Russian forces focus their attack on Donbas in eastern Ukraine.
Ukraine was attacked by Russia in the Donbass region, but

He claimed that he failed to obtain the three targeted locations, including Riemann in Donetsk.
The Russian artillery, in particular, hit 389 Ukrainian targets, but was not known to pass the defenses.
Russian forces are also continuing their attacks in other areas, the Ukrainian military said after a Russian missile hit the southern Odessa airport, damaging the runway and making it unusable.
The Russian military also conducted air strikes in southern Mariupol, where the Azoustal Works, where Ukrainian troops and civilians were evacuated, were heavily hit.
In the midst of this, the Russian Foreign Ministry insisted that the lifting of sanctions against Russia in the West was part of the negotiations, saying that peace negotiations are being held every day, albeit with difficulty.
The Ukrainian side then dismissed it as not true at all.
As the war failed to emerge from a stalemate, it was predicted that Russian President Putin might drop the term ‘special military operation’ and declare a ‘all-out war’.
British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said that Putin is likely to issue a national mobilization order in the coming weeks.
