Russia declares an offensive 24th…

According to the defense minister of Ukraine, Russia is preparing a significant new offensive that might start as early as February 24. Oleksii Reznikov claimed that Moscow had gathered thousands of soldiers and could “try something” to commemorate the first invasion anniversary last year.

The assault would coincide with Russia’s celebration of the army on February23, which is Defender of the Fatherland Day. In the meantime, the Kramatorsk attack has claimed the lives of three persons. A Russian missile struck a residential building in the city in the Donetsk area, injuring eight more people. As rescuers search through the debris, the death toll is anticipated to grow.
