Shishimarin told the court on Friday that he was “truly sorry” but his lawyer said in closing arguments that the young soldier was “not guilty” of premeditated murder and war crimes. Ukraine sorely needs enhanced capability to fend off the kind of onslaught Russia is waging in the eastern region of Donbas, a Russian-speaking area that has been partially controlled by pro-Kremlin separatists since 2014.

Russian forces have surrounded the two – split by a river marking a central front of the war – and are bombarding them to try and wear down resistance and starve residents of supplies. Zelenskyy on Thursday described the bombardment of Severodonetsk as “brutal and absolutely pointless”.Ukraine’s allies, led by the United States and the European Union, have given billions of dollars in assistance – including military equipment – to Kyiv since the Russian invasion began on 24 February.

At the White House on Thursday, he offered “full, total, complete backing” to Finland and Sweden in their bid to join Nato, giving the leaders of the Nordic neighbours a red-carpet welcome at the White House. But all 30 existing Nato members need to agree on expanding the alliance, and Turkey has voiced misgivings about the new applicants, accusing them of what it describes as leniency towards armed Kurdish groups.

Russian troops patted down those surrendering and inspected their bags as they left, signalling the effective end of what Ukraine’s government had called a “heroic” resistance.

Ukraine says Russian attacks on Donbas intensifyingRussian forces intensified their offensive in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region using artillery, rocket-launchers and aircraft to damage defences around Donetsk, Ukraine's general staff have said. The Ukrainian forces in the Donbas are near total collapse&are blaming insane hold your ground orders by Zelensky on advice from the UK and US military .With the dire fuel shortages the population are starting to turn on Zelensky who was only polling 28% approval before the war Following the biased MSM coverage of the war since the start I'm surprised the Russian's haven't surrendered by now. Obviously Russia has the upper hand here and this is against Ukraines most battle hardened troops. I wish RTE would just report things as they are. Most of us are adults and can make informed choices. This is impossible if we only hear one side's viewpoint
