Moscow/Kyiv: ‘Russia’s response can be of any kind. The Russian President has clearly stated his stand on this. Considering the current threats Russia faces, Russia has not defined any limits for its action. According to Russian policies, we can use any kind of weapon. It includes the nuclear policy. Ukraine will get a strong response if it attacks Russian territory with the help of weapons given by western countries. The issue of attacks in a province like Crimea will not be discussed but will be met with a strong response. The entire territory of Ukraine under the current Kyiv regime will be burnt down to ashes,’ Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned.  

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine seems to have intensified again in the last few days. Russia has launched a series of intense attacks on the entire Ukrainian front. Many areas are constantly being targeted, from Kharkiv in the north to Odesa in the south. Both sides claim that the war between the cities of Donetsk and Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine has assumed a deadly form. Both countries have made the occupation of Bakhmut a matter of prestige, and the Russian Army is rapidly closing its siege around the city.  

Russia’s Wagner Group, which is involved in the battle of Bakhmut, has issued a statement in this regard. It said that the Ukrainian Army is fighting for every inch of Bakhmut by putting their lives on the line. The Wagner Group also claimed that the battle was going on for every road and every house in Bakhmut. At the same time, the Russian group has also pointed out that the Ukrainian Army has not withdrawn from any part of the city. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also claimed that the Ukrainian military was in a very difficult situation in many parts of eastern Ukraine, including Bakhmut.  

Russia has also carried out missile attacks in Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv and Odesa areas in the last 24 hours. According to the UK agencies, there were casualties in the attacks. The power supply to Odesa city was also disrupted due to the destruction of a power substation in Odesa. According to the Russian Defence Ministry, over 100 soldiers have been killed in the attacks on various Ukrainian bases. It is also said that Russian forces have been continuously attacking the city of Kherson for the last few days.  

Meanwhile, the US Department of Defense has declared a new arms aid of $ 2.2 billion for Ukraine. These include GLSDB missiles, HIMARS rockets, 250 Javelin anti-tank weapons, 2,000 anti-tank rockets, 181 armed vehicles, Hawk air defence systems, drones and radars. The media said about 200 war prisoners were exchanged between Russia and Ukraine on Saturday.
