Russia has made 'no major gains' in the last 24 hours, despite stepping up its activity in Ukraine.
Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian forces have repelled eight Russian attacks in the two regions, destroying nine tanks, 18 armoured units and 13 vehicles, a tanker and three artillery systems, the Ukrainian General Staff said.
Meanwhile, Mariupol has been reduced largely to smoking rubble by weeks of bombardment, with Russian state TV having shown the flag of the pro-Moscow Donetsk separatists raised on what it said was the city's highest point, its TV tower. Russia pulled a dozen crack military units from Mariupol to bolster its offensive elsewhere in the Donbas, while other troops continue to keep the remaining Ukrainian troops in the city pinned in the Azovstal steelworks, their last remaining stronghold.
"Every day they drop several bombs on Azovstal," said Petro Andryushchenko, an adviser to Mariupol's mayor.It comes as Britain is considering sending its Challenger 2 tanks to Poland so Warsaw can then transfer its own armour to Ukraine.In turn, the Eastern European state would then donate some of its own tanks to Kyiv for use in the newest phase of the war with Russia.
