The Russian army has started a dangerous war near the eastern city of Bakhmut in Ukraine. Bakhmut is withering under heavy artillery fire. At least five civilians were killed, while at least five others were injured in shelling in the war-torn country in the past 24 hours. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has expressed concern after this attack. Supporting the report of the local authorities, he said that we are keeping an eye on how they are sending their troops and weapons. We will support Ukraine at all costs.

The Russian military has shelled dozens of towns and villages in the Donetsk region in the past 24 hours. A missile targeted the hospital.

Russia's new offensive comes just days before the first anniversary of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. Although, Ukraine said it knew Russia would invade the region at some point. Gaining a foothold in Bakhmut has been a major goal for Russian President Vladimir Putin, as a Russian capture of the city would quickly break Ukraine's back. However, the Ukrainian army is also giving a befitting reply.
