‘Bring my mother back home’, says daughter of captured Ukrainian paramedic

The several countries in the west have have pledged further support to Ucrânia, these include the United States, Canadá, Grã-Bretanha, France and Germany.

“We will continue to provide them more ammunition, as we will provide them more military assistance,” said White House spokesperson Jen Psaki.

Rússia’s fresh assault on eastern Ukraine has involved “non-stop bombardment of civilian districts” in the eastern Kharkiv since Sunday, the city’s mayor Igor Terekhov told CNN.

The new attack on the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine could last for “several months”, a senior UK national security official warned the British government.

The official made the warning to PM Boris Johnson, who then told the weekly Cabinet meeting at Downing Street that Ukraine’s position was “perilous” as Vladimir Putin was thought to be aiming for victory of some sort “regardless of the human cost”.

It comes after Putin’s forces inflicted a fresh assault on eastern Ukraine, where they have taken control of the city Kreminna.

“Kreminna is under the control of the ‘Orcs’ (Russians). They have entered the city,” regional governor Serhiy Gaidai said at a briefing.



Netflix subscribers, shares hit by withdrawal from Russia

Netflix suffered its first subscriber loss in more than a decade, weeks after it withdrew its services from Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine.

Russia gives new surrender deadline to Ukrainians in Mariupol

Russia gave a fresh surrender deadline to Ukrainian fighters holding out in Mariupol as it pushed for a decisive win in its offensive in the east.

The renewed warning came as Moscow’s earlier ultimatum lapsed at midnight with not a single Ukrainian soldier laying down their weapon.

“Russia’s armed forces, based purely on humanitarian principles, again propose that the fighters of nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries cease their military operations from 1400 Moscow time on 20 April and lay down arms,” the Russian defence ministry said.

Russian troops, who have so far failed to capture any of Ukraine’s largest cities in the eight-week long war, are advancing in what Kyiv officials have called the Battle of the Donbas.

The invaders, backed by artillery and rocket barrages, were hitting the Azovstal steel plant, the main remaining stronghold in Mariupol, a presidential adviser said late on Tuesday.“


Mais cedo, the United States, Canada and Britain said they would send more artillery weaponry to the country.

Journalists reporting on the Ukraine crisis must collect evidence of potential war crimes

The body of a teenager, hands bound, shot in the back in the woods near a Russian trench.

An underground torture chamber where eight people say they were held and abused below a railway station. Shoppers ripped apart by banned cluster munitions as they bought supplies. Children shelled as they escaped a brutal siege.

Throughout the past six weeks I have spent in Ukraine, on almost every street in every town affected by the Russian invasion, I’ve stumbled across testimonies of likely violations of international law and possible war crimes. It’s bewildering.

General Sir Richard Barrons, head of Joint Forces Command from 2013-16, was asked in a hearing of the UK parliamentary defence committee on Tuesday at what point Nato would be left with no option but to fight Russia.

Montana GOP Senator Steve Daines says that Putin is ‘terrorist’ committing ‘war crimes’

Montana Republican Senator Steve Daines was in Eastern Europe last week when he accepted an offer to become the first US senator to visit Ukraine since Russia launched its invasion of the country nearly two months ago.

“He is committing war crimes,” Mr Daines said. “He is committing atrocities. And he needs to held accountable for it.”

Why is the UK’s emergency humanitarian aid to Ukraine taking so long?

There is always, it would seem, going to be something about a weapon of war that garners more attention than a food parcel.

So it is with the war in Ukraine, where the west is heartily congratulating itself for sending the Ukrainians what the military types call “lethal aid” rather than the stuff that saves lives in other ways, such as medicines, clean water, shelter and sustenance.

It is no surprise that politicians tend to want to associate themselves with the state-of-the-art missile systems, and neglect the awkward fact that some western nations are still buying Russian oil and gas, and failing to help the millions of displaced people and refugees inside, and fleeing from, Ucrânia.

West pledges more support for Ukraine

The United States, Canadá, Grã-Bretanha, France and Germany have pledged more support to Ukraine.

“We will continue to provide them more ammunition, as we will provide them more military assistance,” White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said, adding that new sanctions were being prepared.

“It is unfair that Ukraine still has to ask for [armas] which have been sitting for years in the storage depots of our partners” President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in a video address.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for a four-day humanitarian pause in the fighting this coming weekend, when Orthodox Christians celebrate Easter, to allow civilians to escape and humanitarian aid to be delivered.

Russia says it launched what it calls a “special military operation” on 24 February to demilitarise and “denazify” Ukraine. Kyiv and its Western allies reject that as a false pretext.

The defence ministry said it would begin a ceasefire at 2pm Moscow time on Wednesday (11sou GMT) to give the Ukrainian fighters the opportunity to surrender and leave unharmed.

Reuters noted that Russia claimed to have made the same offer on Tuesday, but “not a single Ukrainian soldier had accepted”.

Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has promised that his forces in Mariupol will “fight to the end” and will ignore any surrender ultimatums from Russia.
