The war in Ukraine is entering its hardest and bloodiest phase, with Russian invasion forces seeking to divide the country at all costs, by conquering or annexing the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, which Moscow has recognised as "autonomous republics".
Reports indicate that Moscow is moving large forces on this front, with a convoy having crossed the border east of Kharkiv, while the news that Vladimir Putin has appointed the infamous Aleksandr Dvornikov, who fought for years for Bashar al-Assad and is referred to as the "butcher of Syria", as head of Russian forces in Ukraine has caused a sensation.
At the same time, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov has signaled that Russian forces also aim to conquer Kiev after completely taking Donetsk, Luhansk and Mariupol. At the same time, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister demonstrates that "if Ukraine were a member of NATO, this war would not have happened," while stressing that Ukrainians know "how to fight" and what they need are weapons.
