Russia is planning to launch a new offensive in eastern Ukraine, according to Ukrainian officials. The offensive is expected to target the Donbas region, which has been partially controlled by Russian-backed separatists since 2014. The Ukrainian military is preparing for the offensive, which could begin as early as this week.
Meanwhile, Ukraine is continuing its counteroffensive in the south of the country, aiming to retake territory that was seized by Russia in the early stages of the war. Ukrainian forces have made significant progress in recent weeks, pushing back Russian troops in the Kherson region.
The war in Ukraine has had a significant impact on the global economy, particularly in terms of energy prices and food security. The conflict has also led to increased tensions between Russia and the West, raising concerns about a potential escalation of the conflict.
