'You feel danger when you want to say something about the war' Little Big, one of Russia's most popular bands, has chosen to leave the country after condemning the war in Ukraine, and fled to Los Angeles Watch now 👇👇👇
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered his defence minister to continue the offensive in Ukraine after Russia captured the city of Lysychansk.
Russia has now stepped up its bombardment of cities in the neighbouring Donetsk region, with the areas around Sloviansk and the road between Lysychansk and Bakhmut in particular being targeted, according to Ukrainian forces.Mr Putin was seen telling Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu that troops who took part in the campaign to capture Luhansk should "rest and develop their combat capabilities".
Just before he launched the invasion of Ukraine on 24 February, Mr Putin recognised all of Luhansk and Donetsk as independent states. Russian proxy forces began an insurgency there in 2014 - the year Russia also annexed the Crimean peninsula. They can't give details of casualties, but talked of "so many". "People we studied with, shared food with, volunteers like us. Many are gone."Speaking about the decision to leave Lysychansk, Mr Haidai said: "Our military could have held the city for a long time, but Russia currently has a huge advantage in artillery and ammunition. They would have simply destroyed the city from a distance, so there was no point in staying.
