Russo-Ukraine War

As the Russian invasion of Ukraine is now entering its third month, Moscow has stepped up its offensive to capture the Donbass region in eastern Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on 21 April that Ukraine’s Mariupol had been “successfully freed”. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s President Zelensky has appealed to “partners” to supply more weapons. He said, “If we had access to all the weapons that our allies have, we would have already ended this war. It is unfair that Ukraine is still forced to ask what its allies have been doing for years. What are you collecting?”
