Russia controls most of Maryinka\u2019s built-up area, but the town is in ruins, UK defence intelligence says\u00a0<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over recent weeks Russian forces have made creeping advances through the ruins of Marinka (Maryinka), a town in Donetsk Oblast, British Defence Intelligence said in its latest update on Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia now likely controls most of the built-up area. However, Ukrainian forces remain in control of pockets of territory on the western edge of the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marinka has been on the front line since 2014. With a pre-war population of 9,000, it is comprehensively ruined \u2013 drone footage suggests that the vast majority of buildings have been reduced to rubble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia\u2019s renewed efforts against Marinka are part of Russia\u2019s autumn offensive which is prioritising extending Russia\u2019s control over the remaining parts of the Donetsk Oblast \u2013 highly likely still one of the Kremlin\u2019s core war aims, a UK defence intelligence assessment said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukrainian drones strike Russian military targets in Crimea<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Drones launched by Ukraine\u2019s Security Service successfully damaged a number of Russian military sites in Crimea and near the occupied peninsula on Tuesday morning, the Ukrainska Pravda newspaper reported, citing sources in law enforcement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newspaper said a Nebo-M mobile radar unit was struck near Baherove in the east of the peninsula. To the north in the village of Strilkove on the Arabat Spit, drones hit a helicopter parking area, a P-18 Terek mobile radar unit and a Baikal-1M mobile anti-aircraft command center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the morning of December 5, Russia\u2019s defense ministry said it had allegedly intercepted and destroyed more than 40 Ukrainian drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macron invites Orb\u00e1n to Paris to convince him to sign off on opening of accession talks with Ukraine, Politico says<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

French President Emmanuel Macron has invited Orb\u00e1n to meet him in Paris at the end of this week to seek to strike a compromise [and agree to opening accession talks with Ukraine], as Paris believes that the Hungarian leader can still be convinced to back Ukraine\u2019s accession, an official in Paris told Politico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orb\u00e1n was \u201cdriving up the bids\u201d in a gamble to get more EU money, the official said. \u201cIt\u2019s purely tactical \u2026 that\u2019s why there\u2019s a certain optimism that we can reach an agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A diplomat from another EU country played down Orb\u00e1n\u2019s threat as political theatrics and sought to counter the impression that he was dictating the agenda for the other 26 countries, saying \u201canother day, another letter from Budapest. So what\u2019s new?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But yet another senior diplomat from a third EU country said it was \u201cincreasingly difficult for Orb\u00e1n to climb down\u201d from his tree. The EU official in Brussels also said Orb\u00e1n \u201creally seems to mean it this time,\u201d arguing the Hungarian leader had made clear that he would not budge on Ukraine\u2019s accession even if he got more EU funds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
