War in Ukraine: Russia is nibbling territory
War in Ukraine: Russia gains territory
(France 2)
For six months, Russia has continued to gain territory in Ukraine. On the set of 20 Heures, Thursday April 11, journalist Marc de Chalvron explains the situation.
By running out of ammunition and conceding defeats, the Ukrainian army retreats, while the Russian army advances. “Over the past six months, the Russian army has been encroaching on territory along these 1,000 km of the front line“, explains journalist Marc de Chalvron, present on the set of 20 Heures, Thursday April 11. In Avdiivka, many areas were conquered by the Russian army. The city “came under the full control of the Russian army“, he explains.
The city of Paris conquered twice in six months
Another area was conquered by the Russians, around Bakhmout. “Since last November, every month, the Russian army has been encroaching on a few square kilometers of Ukrainian territory. In six months, she conquered more than 262 km2, the equivalent of a little more than twice the city of Paris“, the journalist continues. “There is no collapse of the Ukrainian army, but, on the other hand, there is a dynamic: the war of attrition imposed by Vladimir Putin is bearing fruit“, concludes Marc de Chalvron.
