A new Russian offensive in Ukraine? NATO’s alarming confirmation

As the eastern city of Bakhmut was receiving intense artillery fire, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg declared that a significant new Russian offensive was underway in Ukraine. In support of reports from local officials, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said, “We see how they are sending more troops, more weapons, and more capabilities.”

A few days before the first anniversary of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, Russia launched a new offensive. On the other hand, Ukraine declared that it was prepared for fresh ground assaults and had fortified its positions in Bakhmut, a key target for Russian President Vladimir Putin because its capture would give Moscow a new foothold in the Donetsk region following months of setbacks.

Top updates on Russia’s new offensive in Ukraine are as follows:

1. The Wagner group’s mercenaries lead the Russian assault on Bakhmut.

2. According to Volodymyr Nazarenko, deputy commander of Ukraine’s Svoboda battalion, “the city, the city’s suburbs, the entire perimeter, and essentially the entire Bakhmut direction and Kostyantynivka are under crazy, chaotic shelling.”

3. According to the Russian defense ministry, troops have advanced along the frontlines a few kilometers.

4. Ukraine claimed 16 settlements had been bombarded close to Bakhmut and reported Russian shelling along the entire front line.

5. Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, said, “Thank you to every one of our soldiers who are preventing the occupiers from surrounding Bakhmut… and who are holding our key positions at the front.”

6. According to Reuters, Ukrainian forces are receiving training on the Leopard 2 and other cutting-edge battle tanks in several European nations, including Poland, Britain, and Germany.
