The Australian government has come under pressure from Ukraine to provide more assistance to its war effort as Russia pushes on with its spring offensive.
Russia is currently focusing its attacks on the eastern Donetsk region, where several cities and towns have been under heavy bombardment, Ukraine’s general staff said on Tuesday reported Reuters. Ukrainian forces have accused Russia of using “scorched earth” tactics.
“The enemy switched to so-called scorched earth tactics from Syria. It is destroying buildings and positions with air strikes and artillery fire,” Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, commander of Ukraine’s ground forces, said of Bakhmut.
