All bridges to Severodonezk have been destroyed by the Russian army. The city now is fully isolated.

Earlier this day I red that in the days of this war German imports of ores and industrial products from Russia have INCREASED. And this clever EU and Berlin coalition wants to give us the Green Deal planned economy schemes that save the world? Rette sich wer kann, flee from your saviors!

When it comes to income Russia made a great thing attacking Ukraine.
When it comes to the military...well things could have gone better. Markus

The Russians, whatever the costs for them are now (low) or will be in the future (hard to assess) - they seem to think they can afford it. And the ga sprices, as descirbes as such that they earn MORE profit with delivering LESS gas and oil to Eruope. Not bad deal. Russia prepares to continue the war AT LEAST until Octobre. They have the reserves for that, it seems. Does the Ukraine have the replenishments? Doubts are on order. They get not sufficient Western style weapons, and their ammo stocks for their Sovjet style heavy weapons are dying quickly. This is the kind of game where the Russians are stronger. Sad, but true.

President Zelensky called the number of Ukrainian deaths in the battle for the city of Severodonetsk frightening. In a video address, he said that the fighting in the eastern Donbas region is having a major impact on his country's citizens and military. According to Zelensky, his country is facing "absolute evil." Therefore, his military has no choice and must liberate the area to the Russian borders, he argues. The president believes that the battle in the Donbas "will undoubtedly be remembered in military history as one of the most violent battles in Europe."

Currently I cannot see the Ukraine being able to launch a major counteroffensive to retake the now fought-over areas. They apparently lack the heavy weapons, the ammunition, and their troops must be even more exhausted than that of the Russians. And these troops are outnumbered, too, get no rest, and now are hard to be rotated in and out. They say the war has degenerated into trench warfare like in WW1. Well, that emans: you do not get any rest at all. And has its toll.
When the battle for Donbass began, they wrote the Ukraine has its best and most experienced troops in there. And they are getting chewed on all time over, have high losses. They get their best combat units degraded currently. The Russian firepower currently has overwhelming superiority in the battlezone. Its a question of maths. Artillery superiority is 5:1 to 7:1, write some sources, others go as high as claimning 15:1 superiority. No army can endlessly survive getting hammered by such superior firepower. Can those 12 Dutch and German Panzerhaubitzen 2000 make a difference? They may be precise, and still, its only 12 pieces of artillery. Can these really make themselves being felt by the Russians like 120 howitzers? I admit I have doubts. Those American triple-sevens may count more, because there are so many more of them. I think currently the war is no longer going so good for the ukraine, the surprising victories of the first weeks are over. Maybe that better warfoghting will come back in the future - but for that THEY NEED MORE WEAPONS, and AMMO. The front, said the ukrainian generals yesterday, has a total length of 2400 km. Thats more than twice as long as Germany's length in North-South direction.

UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss says she will do "whatever necessary" to free two Britons sentenced to death after fighting in Ukraine.
Aiden Aslin, Shaun Pinner, and a Moroccan, Saaudun Brahim, deny charges of being mercenaries. They were sentenced this month by the self-proclaimed Donetsk People Republic in eastern Ukraine. Meanwhile, all bridges to the embattled Ukrainian city of Severodonetsk are destroyed. The evacuation of civilians – and troops - and the delivery of supplies is increasingly difficult. Russia's military is likely to have made small advances in the Kharkiv region for the first time in several weeks, the UK says.

Show us clear support - Zelensky to Germany
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to show clear support for Ukraine. In an interview with German broadcaster ZDF on Monday night, Zelensky said Germany should not try to balance its interests between Ukraine and its relationship with Russia. "We need from Chancellor Scholz the certainty that Germany supports Ukraine," he said. "He and his government must decide: there can't be a trade-off between Ukraine and relations with Russia." There has been speculation Scholz could make his first trip to Kyiv since the start of the war later this week. The chancellor defended Germany against accusations it wouldn’t deliver weapons it promised for Ukraine. Before modern weapons could be delivered, Ukrainian soldiers needed to be trained how to use them, he said last night. Leading politicians from across Germany's political spectrum accuse Scholz of acting as a brake on arms deliveries.

On the New York Times homepage the word "Trump" appeared 10 times, "Ukraine" appeared 5 times.
On the Washington Post homepage the word "Trump" appeared 12 times, "Ukraine" appeared 5 times. On the Wall Street Journal homepage the word "Trump" appeared 9 times, "Ukraine" appeared 3 times. The Google Trends graph for Ukraine has fallen to near zero.
