The Russians slowly advance through the east and Moscow does not give signs of abandoning its main objectives of war. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, president of the United States, presses for a peace agreement.

Ukraine has made attacks increasingly bold within Russia and says the operations aim to destroy essential infrastructure of the Russian army.

Putin’s government, in turn, intensified the air strikesincluding offensive with drones.
