Russian war correspondents and President of Russia Vladimir Putin reported the capture of the city of Siversk in the Donetsk region. However, the Eastern Operational Command reported that the city is still under the control of the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
Countering the enemy
The Ukrainian Defense Forces managed to thwart most of the enemy's attempts to infiltrate the city of Siversk. The enemy units are trying to establish their symbols to create an impression of control, but these attempts end with new losses for the invaders.
Orders from Putin
After a meeting with the military command, Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to continue combat operations to achieve the set goals on the Ukrainian front.
Security guarantees
Ukraine is actively working on obtaining security guarantees for ending the war, including considering an agreement with the United States. A 'coalition of willing' is also planned to prevent the recurrence of Russian aggression.
'The Ukrainian leader needs to be a realist.'
President of the United States Donald Trump expressed his opinion on the need for realism for President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.
According to CNN, the USA and Europe do not see evidence that Russia has an advantage in the conflict in Ukraine and can quickly achieve victory.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are resisting the enemy's attempts to seize the city of Siversk and are trying to destroy all attempts of the enemy's infiltration. Russian war correspondents and Kremlin elites continue their information campaign, but Ukraine remains a strong link and seeks ways to ensure security together with global partners.
