the slow Russian advance in the Donbass

Using a drone, the pro-Russian separatists film their latest take: Novotochkivské (Ukraine), a city that has become a field of ruins. It is located in the Donbass. On images, we see the slight advance of the Russian army in the region. An advance also recognized by the Ukrainian army. There have been Russian breakthroughs in northern Ukraine and especially in the Donbass. In this region, there is a real but very slow progression, the troops advancing only when everything or almost everything has been bombarded.

In Sloviansk, sirens sound daily. The Russian soldiers are now only a few kilometers from the city. The inhabitants are preparing for a possible attack. “This week will be crucial but I think everything will be fine”, says Vadim Liakh, the mayor of the city. At the same time, in Zaporijia, the arms and ammunition depots were targeted by the Russians. If Russia claims to have destroyed several of them on Wednesday April 27, Ukraine announces that there were no weapons in the factories targeted by the strikes.
