Moscow launches offensive in Donbas, Chechens demand Kiev: We will take it!

“The Russians are mobilizing their forces. “The big battles that have been talked about for days have not started yet, but on the whole, we can say that the phase of the attack has begun,” Denysenko was quoted as saying by CNN.

His claims are backed by heavy overnight bombings in the Dnieper region, and those in Kharkiv, the country’s second largest city. Its governor, Oleg Synegubov, says there have been 65 attacks in the area in 24 hours, mostly with artillery fire.

The mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko called not to reduce vigilance after the withdrawal of troops.

“The possibility is not ruled out that they will return and try to conquer the capital again,” said the former boxing champion, who does not rule out a future attempt to take Kiev “in two days”. In fact, the statements of the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov justify Klitchko’s concern.

Kadyrov says that there will be a new attack not only in Mariupol, but also in other towns and villages, and after we completely liberate Luhansk and Donetsk, they will take Kiev, he stated. Citing intelligence data, the British Ministry of Defense says that the Russians have used phosphorus bombs and can use them again in the city of Mariupol.

Her claims come at a time when another mass grave has come to light, this time near Burzova. For Volodymyr Zelenskyn, this week will be crucial as he says Russia has lost touch with reality, accusing us, he said, of crimes committed by Russian troops in Bucha and Kramatorsk. Diplomatic efforts to end the war continue today with Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer traveling to Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

He is the first leader of a European Union country to meet with Putin in person since the latter ordered the invasion of Ukraine on February 24. Nehammer, who wants to promote dialogue between Moscow and Kiev, also met with Zelensk over the weekend.
