President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has commented that the city of Bakhmut is managing to hold its own despite being in a precarious position.

Ukraine’s latest type of howitzer has recently become the spotlight this week, while the M-109 cannon has remained relatively unknown.

Leaked documents from Russia exposed a pact between the two countries to spread propaganda.

Researchers suggest that the length of the conflict in Ukraine has exposed the weak state of the Russian air force.

Ukrainian paratroopers have shared their experiences of the conflict in the city of Kreminna, noting that they are relying on their wits rather than sheer numbers to come out victorious in the battle.

According to former President Dmitry Medvedev, those who quit Russia should be barred from returning.

The Ukrainian military says it shot down two Russian drones in the latest aerial attack.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has raised fears among the public about the use of nuclear weapons in Europe or against the United States.

Russia had expected to be victorious long before now. Its initial plan envisaged ground assaults across Ukraine in the first ten days and a rapid capitulation thereafter.

Russian forces in Ukraine may have used thermobaric weapons and cluster bombs, according to reports from the Ukraine government and human rights groups.

It has been a turbulent year in Russian-Kazakh relations. Russia’s oil rich neighbour, which straddles central Asia and eastern Europe, started the year by asking for Russia’s help in restoring stability after protests erupted in its major cities.

Tactical nuclear weapons have burst onto the international stage as Russian President Vladimir Putin, facing battlefield losses in eastern Ukraine, has threatened that Russia will “make use of all weapon systems available to us” if Russia’s territorial integrity is threatened.
