Ukrainian military bloggers have reported in recent days. Russians have been advancing on hilltop town of Vuhledar, which Ukraine’s forces have defended over the course of war, south of Donetsk region. Russian troops have also been advancing slowly for months further north, with aim of capturing the entire Donbas region, made up of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.
Nato members should not be deterred from giving more military aid to Ukraine by Putin’s “reckless Russian nuclear rhetoric”, the alliance’s outgoing secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, has said as he hands job over to Mark Rutte. “Every-time we have stepped up our support with new types of weapons – battle tanks, long-range fires or F-16s.
Russians have tried to prevent us,” Stoltenberg said. “They have not succeeded, also latest example should not prevent Nato allies from supporting Ukraine,” he, referring to Putin’s recent supposed changes to Russian nuclear doctrine. Stoltenberg said Nato had not detected any change in Russia’s nuclear posture “that requires any changes from our side”.
