This week, battles continued to rage along the front lines. Russia continued to pummel Ukrainian cities and towns deep in the rear with missiles and drones. Ukraine\u2019s deep-strike campaign also goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with the BBC, released on Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi explained why Ukraine cannot cede Donbas to Russia. A Ukrainian counterattack in the southeast demonstrates that Kyiv\u2019s forces have got plenty of fight left, The Wall Street Journal said Monday. \u201cToday marks exactly four years since Putin started his three-day push to take Kyiv,\u201d Zelenskyi said, addressing the nation on the fourth anniversary of Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion. Ukraine\u2019s Defense Minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, presented a war plan Tuesday designed to \u201cforce Russia into peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia carried out another major missile and drone attack on Ukraine overnight into Thursday, using 39 missiles and 420 drones. With the frost largely gone, the power outages now last shorter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia has likely seized Pokrovsk, but failed to capitalize on it, the Institute for the Study of War said. More than 90,000 Ukrainians are missing in the war, according to the government\u2019s commissioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dissolution of Russia as an empire would improve global security, Budanov says. <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine and allies should be aiming at creating an environment where Russia would dissolve, leading to greater security for all, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov told Lebanese news site Al Modon in an interview published on Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGenerally speaking, the policies of the current Russian president do not differ significantly from those of the Tsarist or Soviet eras. One should not expect Russia to change as a result of internal factors. Instead, we should create the conditions under which Russia will dissolve as an empire,\u201d Budanov said, according to the Ukrainian translation of the interview. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia\u2019s disintegration will contribute to greater security worldwide, Budanov continued. \u201cSeveral regional nation-states would emerge in its territory, with each concerned with well-being of its people. It\u2019s only then that Ukraine, Europe and the entire world will feel more secure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
