The spotlight of the Russian Ukrainian War: War in Ukraine has entered the fifth week and Russia is the cities of bombarding where he promised to reduce military operations.

The Ukrainian military is preparing for a new Russian attack in the eastern region of the country, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Thursday because the war in his country entered the fifth week. In the video address, Zelensky said that the Russian troops were far from Kyiv and Chernihiv and said it was not a withdrawal but also “the consequences of our defense work.”

On Wednesday, Moscow announced that it would significantly reduce military operations in two cities above. And a day later, Ukrainian officials reported shooting outside Kyiv and fighting in Chernihiv.

The prospect of war to the end between the two countries seems almost impossible despite some round of peace negotiations. One day, President Zelensky said that the talks with Russia were underway but no concrete results.

Meanwhile, a local ceasefire in Port Mariupol, which is surrounded by Ukraine has been announced to evacuate civilians. Mariupol has been the worst hit since the beginning of the war and at least 5,000 civilians have lost their lives in Russian attacks.
