the Russian army strikes a military base 20 km from the border with Poland

As a session of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine opens on Monday, March 14, on this 19th day of war, the port city of Odessa (Ukraine) is “spared from the fighting, the Russian troops are blocked 150 km from here in the city of Mykolaiv“, reports journalist Angélique Forget, live from Odessa for the 8 Hours of France 2, Monday. “Odessa residents are using this respite to prepare for battle and siege, but all that could quickly change“, she adds.

“By striking a military base in the west of the country, near Lviv, just 20 km from the border with Poland yesterday, Vladimir Putin’s army showed that it was ready to attack anywhere, n anytime“, continues Angélique Forget, who then specifies that “Russian troops continue to advance towards the capital from the north, from the west, from the northeast“. Kyiv is like this “more and more surrounded and takes on the appearance of a fortress“, and the “only axes released are those to the south“.
