“DNR” militants say ready to execute captured members of Ukraine’s foreign legion. Russia-backed militants may execute two UK citizens and a Moroccan, captured members of Ukraine’s foreign legion, the militants are quoted as saying by Russia’s Interfax news agency.
A representative of the so-called “prosecutor general’s office of DNR” said that taking into account that a war is going on, the accused may be given capital punishment.

Severodonetsk withstands attacks. After a tense day in Luhansk region that is the main target for Russia, the Ukrainian troops repelled the attacks. “Our military managed to stop the vanguard,” head of the Severodonetsk civic-military administration Oleksandr Stryuk said.
“The city withstood the attacks, but the previous day was tough. Fighting raged on the outskirts near the entrance to the city. Our military managed to stop the vanguard of the Russian troops who were trying to break into the city. The situation is tense. The enemy is located on two-thirds of the city’s perimeter. The city is in fierce defense,” Oleksandr Stryuk said.
Ukraine in Flames #78: How war-caused migration affects Ukraine and European societies
With the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion to Ukraine, many Ukrainians were forced to leave their homeland and flee to other countries in Europe and the world. Most countries have hospitably accepted Ukrainian refugees, provided them with support and contributed to a comfortable life. Migration affects both Ukrainians living abroad and people living in other countries who learn more about Ukraine and its people through migrants. This is what episode #78 is dedicated.
