huge aircraft bombs that didn\u2019t explode in courtyards are not surprising anyone anymore,\u201d he said. \u201cPeople are simply tired of being scared and don\u2019t even always go down to the basements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>British defense officials said Saturday that the Russian military continues to besiege a number of other major Ukrainian cities, including Chernihiv, a 1,000-year old community known for ancient monasteries and churches, along with Kharkiv and Sumy in the east.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\"

to limit its own already considerable losses, at the cost of further civilian casualties,\u201d the U.K. Ministry of Defense said in its latest intelligence briefing on the war. <\/p>\n<p>In areas where Russian troops have entered cities, they\u2019ve encountered fierce resistance.  Ukranian forces have had some success driving the invaders out of part of the southern city of Kherson.<\/p>\n<p>But the bombarded cities are left without electricity, heat, food or water. Residents line up each day for the little drinkable water available and cook on open fires in the street.

The discovery of the possible naval mine followed warnings that mines laid at Ukrainian ports could break free in bad weather and cross the Black Sea.<\/p>\n<p>-U.S. officials said Russian troops appear to have halted for now their ground offensive aimed at capturing Kyiv, and were concentrating more on gaining control of the Donbas region in the country\u2019s southeast. Donbas is the largely Russian-speaking eastern region where Russian-backed separatists have been fighting Ukrainian forces since 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow signaled on Friday it was scaling back its ambitions in Ukraine to focus on the eastern territories. In an announcement that appeared to indicate more limited goals, the Russian Defence Ministry said a first phase of its operation was mostly complete and it would now focus on the region.<\/p>\n<p><em>-With Post Wires<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
