Ukraine’s military said “the occupiers made an attempt to break through our defenses along nearly the entire front line,” while Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said the goal was "full liberation" in Donetsk and Luhansk.

Ha. The Russians gave them another opportunity to surrender.
Lesson of the day, never poke a bear.
“As the dead continue to pile up in Ukraine, are we just beating the drums of war to keep sending weapons—instead of trying to make this awful conflict end? Should we be doing more to try to bring about a peaceful resolution?” from MSNBC NEWS

This guy has that look on his face. The look of a guy who just realized he’s won an all expense paid trip to Gulag 37, Yakutsk Oblast .
