Shelling and strikes in Donbas increasing but Russians hampered by logistical problems, Ministry of Defence claims
Russia has increased the intensity of its eastern offensive but has been repeatedly repelled by Ukrainian forces, the UK’s Ministry of Defence has said, as western governments pledged to send more artillery, and a new deadline for surrender in Mariupol approached.
“We appeal and plead to all world leaders to help us,” Volyna said in the video. “We ask them to use the procedure of extraction and take us to the territory of a third-party state.” Serhiy Gaidai, the governor of the Luhansk region, said Russian forces had attacked “from all sides”. He added: “It is impossible to calculate the number of dead among the civilian population. We have official statistics – about 200 dead – but in reality there are many more,” he said.
Brimstones have previously been used by UK forces in Libya and Syria, and are typically launched from fast jet aircraft against fast-moving land and sea targets. Stormer High Velocity Missile launchers will also be sent, which uses Starstreak missiles to take down low-flying aircraft.
