The Russia Ukraine war is witnessing a fresh wave of
escalation in a show of solidarity with the Ukrainians.
the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken
arrived in Kiev on Tuesday
and this was an unannounced trip.
The visit comes just weeks after the American Congress approved
a
$61 billion package of financial aid for Ukraine.
And the visit is meant to reassure the Ukrainians of
continued American support
and flow of weapons as Russia continues to batter Ukraines
northeastern city of Khar Kiev.
The Khar cave has become the latest flashpoint,
while Kiev claims that it sees no risk of a
ground invasion into Khar Kiev.
The images from the ground though tell a completely a
different story.
Ukrainian National police are rushing to evacuate hundreds of civilians
from Khar Kiev border areas
as Russian airstrikes continue to pound the region.
Some of chance neighbourhoods are not easy to get to
due to constant shelling.
However, the situation is stable and under control.
We are evacuating people, it is fine.
The situation is very precarious as artillery shells land near
police vehicles,
but top officials say that they do not see any
imminent threat.
However, they do acknowledge that Kievs troops are being stretched
here.
We can say that we don't see any threat of
assault on the city of Kharkiv or other problems.
But the Russians are trying to stretch our troops,
and if they succeed and have some success,
they will develop them.
Intense skirmishes between the warring neighbors are also underway in
northeastern Ukrainian town of Wolfchansk.
The latest push in the northeastern region has opened up
a new war front,
and this has added more pressure on the already overstretched
Ukrainian forces.
Now, according to Moscow,
in the latest assault by the Russian forces that began
on Friday last week,
troops have captured over 40 to 50 square miles in
the northeastern part of Ukraines Karkiv region,
and this includes at least about 7 Ukrainian villages.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has also carried out some fresh strikes on
the Russian border city of Belgran.
The attack caused the building to collapse,
partially killing 15 people and according to Russias Emergency Ministry,
most of them were civilians
and 12, including two children,
were rescued from the rubble.
Now this is the deadliest attack till date on Belgrade
that's been launched by the Ukrainians.
The American President Joban, however,
has now signed a bill that finally prohibits the American
import of Russian enriched uranium.
Now, this American Act prohibits the United States from importing
the UN irradiated low enriched uranium that is produced in
the Russian Federation
by a Russian entity, and it also includes measures to
close loopholes.
