The essential
The war in Ukraine enters its fourth month on Tuesday.
“The next weeks of war will be difficult,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Monday evening in his daily televised address.
Russian soldier Vadim Chichimarine, the first to be tried for a war crime since the start of the offensive in Ukraine, was sentenced to life in prison on Monday.
More than 6.5 million Ukrainians have fled abroad, more than half of them - 3.4 million - to Poland.

Zelensky's warning
“The next weeks of war will be difficult,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky warned Monday evening in his daily televised address.
“The Russian occupiers are trying to show that they will not abandon the occupied areas of the Kharkiv region (north-east), that they will not return the Kherson region (south), the occupied territories of the region from Zaporizhia (south-east) and the Donbass (east).
They are moving somewhere.
They are strengthening their positions elsewhere,” he continued.
The situation is even "extremely difficult" in the Donbass: the Russians are seeking to "eliminate everything that is alive", accused President Zelensky.
