Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy says the battle for the Donbas will be remembered in military history as one of the most violent in Europe:
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy believes the cost of the Donbas war is “extremely significant” and “simply scary” for Ukraine. The President of Ukraine says dealing with absolute evil. He goes on to say that it will go down in military history as one of Europe’s most bloody conflicts.
According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, Russia’s principal goal in Ukraine is to protect the separatist self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics. Authorities are probing the deaths of more than 12,000 Ukrainians during the war, according to Ukraine’s police head.
Russian troops in Mariupol, Ukraine’s southern city, are planning to reopen the drama theatre where ‘hundreds’ of Ukrainians were blasted, according to a Ukrainian official. According to media reports, the attack killed approximately 600 persons both inside and outside the structure.
Russia’s intention, according to Mariupol mayor’s advisor Petro Andriyushchenko, was to refurbish and reopen the theatre on September 1. He described the proposal as “a dance on bones, an exhibition in a cemetery.”

According to the city’s governor, Oleh Synehubov, Russian shelling killed one lady and injured her three-month-old infant in the eastern Kharkiv region today. As well as four additional people were wounded in the region, according to Synehubov, as Russian shelling destroyed residences and apartment complexes and ignited fires.
Moreover, Russian servicemen abducted three Ukrainians in the occupied parts of the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region, Ukrainian officials said. One was kidnapped from Enerhodar, the company town of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, and the other two were taken away from the Melitopol district, the regional state administration said on Facebook.
Dozens of the plant’s employees and pro-Ukrainian sympathizers have been kidnapped since Russian forces seized more than half of the region according to Mansur Mirovalev in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Pope Francis has launched a new round of criticisms of Russia’s activities in Ukraine, describing Russian troops as “brutal, harsh, and ferocious,” while hailing “brave” Ukrainians for fighting for their lives. However, he also stated in the text of a chat he held with editors of Jesuit media last month that the situation was neither black and white and that the war was “perhaps in some way prompted.”
“If we want to solve the fundamental problems, we must not forget about them,” Francis remarked, citing the armaments industry as one of the elements that encourage war. Dealing with absolute evil are remarks of Kyiv!
“It’s also true that the Russians expected everything to be over in a week. They, on the other hand, miscalculated. “They came across brave people that are fighting for survival and have a history of hardship,” he said.
