Fighting raged around Sievierodonetsk, a focus of Russia's struggling offensive in the Donbas region. Ukraine's president pressed allies for even more ...

It includes $8.8 billion for a fund to shore up the economies of Ukraine and other countries affected by the war. “It is a symbol that Kyiv, which was surrounded — and surrounded by killing fields — has reopened its cultural institutions,” said Lt. Maksym Butkevych, an audience member who came for the day from his military barracks. The Ukrainian military said on Saturday that Russia was demining the port of Mariupol in an attempt to get it running again. In its article on Mr. Savelyev’s remarks on Saturday, Tass reported that the north-south corridor he described connects Russia, “in particular,” with Azerbaijan, Iran and India. For Eastern European and Baltic leaders, a durable peace settlement and an end to the conflict has to include a crushing military victory that spells an end to Mr. Putin’s presidency. Volodymyr and Tetiana Shypilo, a teacher, and their son Andriy, 39, lived in one part of the house, and Oleh Yarmolenko, 47, lived alone in the other side. One of the ways to unblock them is a military solution, he said. By the time the troops pulled out at the end of March, two brothers, Yuriy and Viktor Pavlenko, who lived at the end of the street, lay dead in a ditch by the railway line. “The consequences of these politics was what happened in Bucha,” he said. Not a lot is known about the brigade, but Colonel Krasny claimed that it was notable for its lack of morality, for beatings of soldiers and for thieving. Olha Havryliuk’s son and son-in-law, along with a stranger, were shot in the head in the yard of their house. Military analysts say Russia is attempting to control Sievierodonetsk so that it can mount a push toward the city of Kramatorsk to the west.

Russia's dreaded cyberwarriors seem to be struggling in Ukraine ... (CBC.ca)

One day after Russian tanks broke through Ukrainian border posts on February 24, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) issued a ...

The country's top cyber official Victor Zhora said recently that Russia stole Ukrainian government data to give its forces a list of targets for arrest or murder in the occupied zones. "The cost of building fake content that looks very convincing to the wider public is quite low these days," he said. But from the moment it's deployed and you start causing the impact, it takes them only a couple of weeks to address it." "There is no way, no resources for the nation to monitor everything. It is not the case at all here," he said. "The issue is, if your opponent discovers that malware, they know a lot about you, about your capabilities, all your investments. The attack was much less damaging than the 2007 attack on Estonia, or the attacks that preceded the 2008 invasion of Georgia. Just as Russia's armoured divisions entered this conflict with a fearsome reputation that turned out to be wildly overblown, the reach of Moscow's cyber legions may have been overestimated. Then in June 2017, the same group struck again with a powerful new malware called Petya, causing chaos at government ministries, forcing banks to close, jamming telecom networks and again disrupting Ukraine's electrical grid. It repeated familiar Kremlin tropes about Nazis and persecution of Russian-speakers. In March, for the first time ever, more Russian email credentials were leaked online than those of any other nation. "This is for your past, present and future."

Russia-Ukraine war live updates: Zelensky says war will end in ... (The Washington Post)

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the only way out of the war will be through diplomacy — in addition to a Kyiv win on the battlefield — as his ...

The latest: President Biden signed a $40 billion package of new military and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine on Saturday while visiting South Korea, amid signs that the United States and its allies are preparing for a drawn-out conflict. The city appears to be the war’s next major battlefield as Russia tries to gain control of the Donbas region and as weeks of fighting in Mariupol come to an end. Russian forces had sought to encircle the city of Kharkiv, the second-largest in Ukraine, but have been forced to retreat after Ukrainian troops mounted a successful counteroffensive. The visit is Duda’s third to Ukraine so far this year. Ukraine has also accused Russian forces of stealing grain and transporting it to Russia. So we turn to our partners with inquiries about the relevant weapons.” He explained how his position has changed over nearly three months of fighting: “I really thought we could end it only through dialogue — in that dialogue could be found answers to many questions, and many decisions from the Russian side. Zelensky did not specify what he wants Russia to return. “And this is what it will be in the end.” Legal residence, employment, education, health care and social benefits,” Zelensky said, according to a text of the speech posted by an official from the presidential office. Ukrainian authorities have put three captured Russian soldiers on trial for war crimes, and the Biden administration is supporting steps by the Ukrainian prosecutor general to investigate Russia’s actions in the war. Russia is likely to have deployed its only operational company of BMP-T “Terminator” tank support vehicles to Severodonetsk, a key focus for its operations in Donbas, Britain’s Defense Ministry said.

YouTube has taken down more than 70,000 videos and 9,000 channels related to the war in Ukraine for violating content guidelines, including removal of videos that referred to the invasion as a “liberation mission”.

Enerhodar has a population of more than 50,000 and many of the residents work at the two power plants located next to the town, one of which is the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest nuclear power station in Europe. Russian news agency RIA Novosti reported that Shevchik was in intensive care. “They know someone has to do it. I just do my job.” Dmytro Orlov, the mayor of the town recognised by Ukraine said on Sunday night that Shevchik had been taken to the Russian-occupied city of Melitopol to recover, and that he would be temporarily replaced as leader of the town.
