Russian army has carried out around a hundred attacks in the last 24 hours on the Ukrainian Eastern Front. Almost half of which were around Mariïnka, a new “hot spot” with the Avdiïvka area.

The Ukrainian army, lacking ammunition and Western aid, faces an “extremely difficult’ situation, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's own admission. The country prepares to commemorate the launch on Saturday, there two years ago, from the Russian assault on Ukraine.
