Russia Russian troops report further advance in Donbass
Russian troops are advancing further in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donetsk, according to their own statements. The Ministry of Defense in Moscow reported the capture of the village of Vyimka in the north of the Donbass near the Ukrainian-controlled city of Sivorsk. The Ukrainian General Staff reported nine Russian assault attacks on this section of the front since Saturday, including on Vyimka. However, they were repelled, it was said. Neither account could be independently verified. The Russian military also claimed territorial gains in the current main direction of attack on the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk.

Ukrainian commander-in-chief: We are doing what we can
The Ukrainian commander-in-chief Olexander Syrskyj admitted that the situation of his troops in the Donbass was difficult. The enemy is superior in terms of men and material, he wrote in a post on social networks. "But all necessary decisions at all levels are being made without delay," explained Syrskyi - presumably a reference to the fact that the allegedly inadequately prepared defence and the retreat are also being criticized in Ukraine. "Despite the fact that the enemy has an advantage in terms of the number of weapons and people, it is suffering significant losses thanks to our soldiers. The battle for Ukraine continues," wrote Syrskyi.
