NU.nl regularly provides you with an overview of the situation in Ukraine. At this time: Russia will execute its soldiers and fighting will intensify in eastern Ukraine.
Russia shoots its soldiers if they don’t listen
The White House says it has information that Russia is planning to kill its soldiers. Russian soldiers will be shot on the spot if they disobey orders.
Not only will Russian army leaders not shoot their recruits if they do not listen to them, but this will also be used as a signal to warn others.
“We also have information that Russian military commanders are threatening to kill entire forces if they try to withdraw from Ukrainian fire,” said John Kirby, US National Security Coordinator.
The majority of Russian conscripts, according to Kirby, are “untrained, barely armed and unprepared for war.” He describes Russia’s tactics as “human waves.”

Heavy fighting in Avdiivka and Kubyansk
The Russians are trying to launch new attacks, especially in eastern Ukraine. The fighting there is becoming increasingly fierce. For example, there is heavy fighting in the strategically important places of Avdiivka and Kubyansk.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says his forces succeeded in deterring the attacks. It is also said that Ukraine killed many Russian soldiers there. According to Zelensky, the Russians “definitely lost a brigade of soldiers.”
Russia is trying to encircle the cities of eastern Ukraine, but the rains that have fallen in the past few days have not helped. A Ukrainian army spokesman at the scene said: “Traveling on wet roads and fields is difficult, especially if you are carrying heavy equipment.”
Information coming from the war zone is difficult to verify. Pictures and images clearly show that there was heavy fighting and that war materials were destroyed.
Children are evacuated
Russian forces are launching more and more air strikes in the area surrounding the coastal city of Kherson. This means that more and more people, especially children, are being evacuated from the area.
According to reports, 90 children were forcibly removed from 23 villages along the Ukrainian-controlled portion of the western side of the Dnipro River.
Nearly seven hundred children are said to remain in areas witnessing heavy bombardment. The Russians carried out approximately 35 missile attacks there. According to Ukraine, at least eight civilians were killed, including a thirteen-year-old boy.
“We survived a disaster in Khmelnitsky”
Major explosions occurred at a nuclear power plant in western Khmelnytskyi. The station’s windows were shattered, but there were no reports of injuries or other damage to the nuclear reactor.
“However, the drone strike was very close,” said Rafael Mariano Grossi, director of the International Atomic Energy Agency. “Next time we may not be so lucky.” “Striking a nuclear power plant must be avoided at all costs.”
According to Zelensky, Russia is behind the drone attacks. He accuses the country of deliberately attacking the nuclear power plant. Two drones were shot down, and according to the Ukrainian president, the drones were targeting the nuclear power plant.
