Russia is moving reserve forces from across the country and assembling them near Ukraine for future offensive operations: British military intelligence.
Donetsk regional Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said on the Telegram messaging service that a Russian missile had struck Druzhkivka, a town behind the front line, and reported shelling of other population centres.Since Russia, which has also seized a big chunk of territory across Ukraine's south, started what it calls a "special operation" to demilitarize Ukraine on Feb. 24, cities have been bombed to rubble, thousands have been killed, and millions displaced.
The pair held over five hours of talks on the sidelines of the G20 gathering of foreign ministers on the Indonesian island of Bali. On Friday, Russia's Sergei Lavrov had walked out of a meeting there, denouncing the West for "frenzied criticism." It also quoted Wang as saying that Sino-American relations were in danger of being further led "astray," with many people believing that "the United States is suffering from an increasingly serious bout of 'Chinaphobia'."
