🇷🇺🇺🇦Journalist Christopher Miller: - A major Russian offensive has begun in the Donbas. Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine: "This morning, an active phase of the Russian offensive began almost along the entire frontline [in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv regions]. The occupiers tried to break through our defenses." - I just spoke to a Ukrainian commander on the frontline near Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, who said their positions are being hit by Russian airstrikes and heavy artillery 14 hours a day. They are "desperate" for more help, he said, outgunned, and running low on ammunition. - Now President Zelensky, in a new public address, says Russia has begun the battle for the Donbas and concentrated a large part of its army there for an all-out offensive in eastern Ukraine. - A Ukrainian army lieutenant on the frontline in Donetsk region tells me he and his soldiers are being hit as we speak with Russian howitzers, mortars, and MLRS "at the same time." They endured a similar bombardment earlier today "plus two Su-25... and our day became hell." https://twitter.com/ChristopherJM/status/1516140383440449536?s=20&t=2zJLD0EtfmKqOmRkZeMDUQ
