Ukraine demands more armaments from abroad / Article

At the same time, it has become known that the number of Ukrainian civilians killed since the start of the war may have exceeded 14,000.

Several villages have been liberated

As fighting for the strategically important city of Severodonetsk in the Luhansk region continues, members of the Ukrainian armed forces have been forced to admit that Russian invaders have also taken hold in the city center. Severodonetsk has actually been returned from the rest of the world, as the last bridge connecting the city with the nearby Lysicansk has also been blown up.

Active battles are also taking place in towns near Slovjansk. In one of them, Svyatohirsk, the local mayor has already taken over the invaders, taking over the leadership of the pro-Russian city administration.

At the same time, it is reported that elsewhere in the Donetsk region, Ukrainian forces have managed to liberate several villages and move forward by as much as 15 kilometers.

Every soldier is important to Ukraine

However, according to military analyst Mikhail Pritula in an interview with Espresso TV, one should not even think at the moment that the Ukrainian army could go on a massive counterattack across the front line, as it is a 1,450-kilometer front line. The warfare is more than 1,150 kilometers long and they are huge distances, so the right strategy must be chosen.

“The same attack tactics are being used across the front line. Ukraine’s armed forces are destroying the enemy wherever they are.

And there is no idea that any wider attack should be launched, because everyone is aware that this would lead to huge losses for Ukrainian soldiers.

We must actively use the weapons we have and which are supplied to us by foreign allies. Only after the enemy has been destroyed should Ukrainian soldiers move on to clear the area. There will be nothing different in this war, because we must protect every human being, every citizen. That’s our number one goal. ”

A new mass grave is found in Buča

As for what equipment Ukraine would need to win this war, Mikhail Podolak, an adviser to the president of Ukraine, has named 1,000 howitzers, 500 tanks, 2,000 armed vehicles, 1,000 drones and 300 jet missiles. He recalled that a meeting of Ukraine’s allied defense ministers would take place in Brussels on 15 June, adding that Ukraine expected decisive action.

In the absence of accurate information on casualties in the Ukrainian armed forces, Ukraine’s national police have reported the first estimates of civilian casualties.

Chief of Police Igor Klimenko has announced that an investigation into the deaths of more than 12,000 civilians has now been launched. The remains of some 1,200 people have still not been identified.

Also on Monday, a mass grave was found near the infamous city of Bucharest in the Kiev region, where seven people were tortured and then killed.

Ukraine could become an EU candidate country

In the meantime, active discussions are continuing in Europe on how to build future relations with both Ukraine and Moldova and Georgia, which have also applied for EU candidate status.

According to the free Europe correspondent Richard Jozviak, the European Commission is likely to recommend granting candidate status to Ukraine and Moldova this week, subject to preconditions.

There are a number of unanswered questions about Georgia. The European Commission will present its recommendations on Friday, with a final decision scheduled for next week’s EU summit.
