Ukraine War, War Spreads to the South of Donbas !
Ukraine War, War Spreads to the South of Donbas ! Russia's objectives in Ukraine, now extend beyond the eastern Donbas region into the country's south a senior government minister has said. As the war in Ukraine approaches its fifth month, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, told state media that the "geography is different." "It is far from being only Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic, it is also Kherson Region, Zaporizhzhia Region and a number of other territories, and this process continues, it continues steadily and persistently," Lavrov said during an interview with RIA Novosti, published Wednesday. Lavrov's remarks signal the Kremlin's refocused approach to the war in Ukraine. Just three months ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin shifted military, efforts onto the country's east after failing to capture Kyiv. However, recently supplied US HIMARS Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, worth $400 million have bolstered the Ukrainian military's ability to strike down Russian targets, a significant factor that has caused fresh problems for Moscow. Earlier this month, there were huge explosions in several occupied areas in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions. The available evidence, from satellite imagery and Western analysts, is that the targeting has been highly effective. Mykhailo Podolyak, advisor to the Ukrainian President's Chief of Staff, repeated calls for more HIMARS weapons on Ukrainian television on Wednesday. We cannot allow any weapons in the part of Ukraine controlled by Zelensky, or whoever will replace him that pose a direct threat to our territory or the territory of the republics, that declared independence or those that wish to determine their future independently, Lavrov said. ukraine ukraine news ukraine vs russia live war ukraine vs russia news ukraine war news ukraine live ukraine war russia vs ukraine war update russia ukraine news russia news russia today news russia war russia ukraine russia today news live news news live news breaking breaking news breaking news today news today breaking news live news live today breaking news today Sloviansk Donetsk #ukraine #ukrainewar #news #ukrainerussiawar #ukrainenews
