The advance of Russian troops continues in Donbass and in particular in the Ukrainian region of Donetsk.

The offensive of the soldiers of Moscow and the militia of the Luhansk People's Republic on the city of Bachmut began in the night. Tass specifies that "the allied forces have taken control of the village of Klinovoe, about 6 km from Bachmut", a town of about 80,000 residents under Ukrainian control and considered "strategic" for the attack on Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. also there is the village of Veselaia Dolina, which is located 5 kilometers from Bachmut.

The Pentagon has confirmed the sending of a new package of military aid to Ukraine for 400 million dollars, in the supplies there are four more Himars rocket launchers and about 1,000 155 mm artillery rounds that have greater accuracy and will help the forces of Kiev to hit specific targets. The package also includes three tactical vehicles, radar systems, spare parts and other military equipment.

In the past three weeks alone, the US has provided $ 2.2 billion in security assistance to Ukraine, $ 8 billion since the beginning of the Biden administration.

On this new supply came the comment of the Russian embassy in the United States: “The US authorities are sending new weapons to Ukraine, including Himars rocket launchers, because they want to prolong the conflict by any means. Behind this decision is Washington's unbridled desire to drag the conflict at any cost, to compensate for the growing losses of the Ukrainian national battalions and armed forces by sending weapons ".
