#CHANGE DEFAULT FILE LOCATION BATTLEFRONT 2 TRIAL#
In Kyiv, a court in the conflict's first war crimes trial handed down a life prison sentence on a Russian tank commander who had pleaded guilty to killing shooting a 62-year-old Ukrainian civilian dead on the invasion's fourth day. With Moscow having captured Mariupol last week after a three-month siege but losing territory elsewhere, the war in Ukraine is entering what some Western military analysts describe as a new phase: a major Russian push to capture the Donbas, before Moscow is expected to shift to defense. Moscow has been pushing to overrun the city as it tries to encircle Ukrainian forces and fully capture Luhansk and Donetsk provinces, the Donbas region it claims on behalf of separatists. Russian forces tried to storm Sievierodonetsk but were unsuccessful and retreated, Zelenskyy's office said. In the latest fighting at the battlefront, Kyiv said it had held off a Russian assault on Sievierodonetsk, an eastern city that has become the main target of Moscow's offensive since it seized Mariupol last week. This is really the moment when it is decided whether brute force will rule the world," Zelenskyy said in his address, calling for maximum economic sanctions on Russia. The toll Zelenskyy announced on Monday was more than double the number killed in a similar attack on a Ukrainian training base in Yaraviv in the west in March. Moscow had said at the time that it hit a training base with long-range missiles. Eighty-seven corpses," President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said during a speech by video link to business leaders in Davos, Switzerland. In Desna, under the rubble, there were 87 casualties. Previously, Kyiv had said eight people died in the May 17 strike on the barracks in the town of Desna. The disclosure that scores had been killed in the attack demonstrated Russia's ability to inflict huge losses, even far from the front. MARIUPOL, Ukraine - Kyiv revealed its worst military losses from a single attack of the Ukraine war on Monday, saying 87 people had been killed last week when Russian forces struck a barracks housing troops at a training base in the north.
