BlogPosting | Russia facing serious security threat in border regions, UK says | https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/23/ukraine-war-live-updates-latest-news-on-russia-and-the-war-in-ukraine.html#107245096-post | 2023-05-23T16:10:15+0000 | 2023-05-23T08:27:01+0000 | {'@type': 'WebPage', '@id': 'https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/23/ukraine-war-live-updates-latest-news-on-russia-and-the-war-in-ukraine.html#107245096-post'} | Russia is facing "an increasingly serious multi-domain security threat" in its border regions, the British Ministry of Defense said Tuesday after an attack on the Russian border region of Belgorod that Russian anti-Putin groups claimed to have carried out Monday. "Russia is facing an increasingly serious multi-domain security threat in its border regions, with losses of combat aircraft, improvised explosive device attacks on rail lines, and now direct partisan action," the ministry said in an intelligence update on Twitter. "Russia will almost certainly use these incidents to support the official narrative that it is the victim in the war," the ministry added. Anti-Putin militias known as the "Freedom of Russia" Legion and the "Russian Volunteer Corps" claimed responsibility for the raid on the district of Grayvoron in Belgorod that lies on the border with Ukraine. Belgorod's governor said Tuesday that a "counter-terrorism operation" was ongoing Tuesday. Russia blamed the attack on Ukraine, calling it the work of "saboteurs," but Kyiv has denied any involvement in the incident. — Holly Ellyatt | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107245098-1684830013057-gettyimages-1244579216-AA_07112022_931690.jpeg?v=1685626770', 'width': '4240', 'height': '2400'} | null |

BlogPosting | Fighting subsiding in 'captured' Bakhmut, minister says | https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/23/ukraine-war-live-updates-latest-news-on-russia-and-the-war-in-ukraine.html#107245094-post | 2023-05-23T16:12:26+0000 | 2023-05-23T08:01:57+0000 | {'@type': 'WebPage', '@id': 'https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/23/ukraine-war-live-updates-latest-news-on-russia-and-the-war-in-ukraine.html#107245094-post'} | Ukraine said fighting appeared to have subsided in Bakhmut, a town that Russia's mercenary forces claimed to have captured last weekend, although Kyiv denied it had fallen. "This day [the past 24 hours], the activity of the enemy's offensive actions in the Bakhmut direction decreased somewhat," Hanna Maliar, Ukraine's deputy defense minister, said Tuesday. "In the city of Bakhmut, the fighting has subsided, the enemy continues to clear the areas under his control," she added, in a post on Telegram. At the same time, the amount of shelling remains significant, she added. Ukraine still controlled parts of the southwest of the town, which has been largely reduced to ruins by months of attritional warfare, and fighting continues in the suburbs. "We have a slight advance on the flanks to the north and south of Bakhmut," she said. CNBC was unable to verify the information in the post. Russia's mercenary Wagner Group claimed last weekend to have fully captured Bakhmut, with footage showing Wagner head Yevgeny Prigozhin and mercenary troops raising Russian and Wagner flags in the town. Prigozhin said his force would hand over the town to regular Russian units in a matter of days. Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War said Monday that Russia's "hyperfocus on claiming victory in Bakhmut distracts from the precarious Russian military situation in and around Bakhmut." " The Russian military situation in Bakhmut is particularly vulnerable as the Russian offensive effort in the area has likely culminated, granting Ukrainian forces the opportunity to launch further counterattacks on Bakhmut's already-weakened flanks." "Wagner's withdrawal in contact will also likely result in the Russian MoD manning defensive lines with poorly trained and provisioned conventional units similar to those that retreated from their positions while defending against Ukrainian counterattacks earlier in May," the analysts said. — Holly Ellyatt | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107244637-1684761351523-AP23141287656235.jpg?v=1690953552', 'width': '3500', 'height': '2622'} | null |

BlogPosting | 'Counter-terrorism operation' in Russia's Belgorod region continues, governor says | https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/23/ukraine-war-live-updates-latest-news-on-russia-and-the-war-in-ukraine.html#107245067-post | 2023-05-23T16:14:32+0000 | 2023-05-23T05:26:05+0000 | {'@type': 'WebPage', '@id': 'https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/23/ukraine-war-live-updates-latest-news-on-russia-and-the-war-in-ukraine.html#107245067-post'} | The governor of Russia's Belgorod region said on Tuesday the "counter-terrorism operation" in the region was ongoing, with the defense ministry and law enforcement agencies continuing "to clean up" the territory on the border with Ukraine. "On the situation in the Graivoron district: the cleaning of the territory by the Ministry of Defense together with law enforcement agencies continues," the governor, Vyacheslav Gladkov, said on the Telegram messaging app. "I now appeal to the residents of the Graivoron district, who ... temporarily left their homes, it is not possible to return yet." Gladkov said Monday that at least three people had been injured and three houses and a local administrative building damaged during a cross-border attack from Ukraine. A senior aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv had nothing to do with the armed operation in the Belgorod region. "Ukraine is watching the events in the Belgorod region of Russia with interest and studying the situation, but it has nothing to do with it," presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak tweeted. "As you know, tanks are sold at any Russian military store, and underground guerrilla groups are composed of Russian citizens." In a written statement to Reuters, Podolyak said Ukraine's military operates only on Ukrainian territory and echoed Ukrainian military intelligence in blaming Russian partisans for the incursion. — Reuters | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107245084-1684824578570-gettyimages-1252188190-AFP_33DV7D8.jpeg?v=1689196103', 'width': 5310, 'height': 3488} | null |

Energoatom said earlier Monday that the plant was forced to go into "blackout mode" and that back-up diesel generators were operating at the plant to make sure nuclear fuel was kept cool. Later this morning, Energoatom and Ukraine's national grid operator Ukrenergo said power had been restored to the plant , which is occupied by Russian forces. The outage was the seventh the plant has experienced, Energoatom said. Ukraine and Russia continuously accuse each other of endangering the nuclear plant, Europe's largest, and the International Atomic Energy Agency has repeatedly called for the facility to be "demilitarized." — Holly Ellyatt | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107244500-1684744724704-gettyimages-1249887450-AA_29032023_1133235.jpeg?v=1687428977', 'width': '1024', 'height': '683'} | null |

BlogPosting | Fighting continues in Bakhmut, Kyiv says, with Russia bulking up forces | https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/23/ukraine-war-live-updates-latest-news-on-russia-and-the-war-in-ukraine.html#107244547-post | 2023-05-23T16:17:38+0000 | 2023-05-22T10:55:09+0000 | {'@type': 'WebPage', '@id': 'https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/23/ukraine-war-live-updates-latest-news-on-russia-and-the-war-in-ukraine.html#107244547-post'} | Kyiv says Ukrainian troops are advancing around Bakhmut while Russia is bulking up forces, rebuffing claims by Russia that its fighters have fully seized the town in eastern Ukraine. "Now the fiercest battles are taking place in the Mariinka, Avdiivka and Bakhmut directions. The enemy is concentrating most of its forces in the direction of Bakhmut," Ukrainian deputy defense minister Hanna Maliar said on domestic television, NBC reported. "The situation has not fundamentally changed since yesterday ... You remember that yesterday we remained in control of certain infrastructural facilities, as well as private houses in the southwestern part of the city. Today we still control this, albeit small, part of the city," she said. "Fighting continues. Last night, the enemy carried out a sweep of the territories he took under control; that is, they checked whether any of our sabotage groups remained there," Maliar said. She said Russian forces in the city — which are made up largely of mercenary fighters — were being forced to go on the defensive in parts of the city. "Due to the fact that we moved along the flanks from the north and south and occupied certain heights there, we made it very difficult for the enemy to stay in the city. And we continue to advance [on the flanks]. The intensity is somewhat reduced, but we keep moving. In the north, there are much less action now. In the south, we are moving forward," she said. — Holly Ellyatt | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107230630-1682432793107-gettyimages-1252158951-AA_25042023_1168133.jpeg?v=1684752909', 'width': '8256', 'height': '5504'} | null |

BlogPosting | Wagner mercenary group head says his forces will leave Bakhmut soon | https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/23/ukraine-war-live-updates-latest-news-on-russia-and-the-war-in-ukraine.html#107244540-post | 2023-05-23T16:24:57+0000 | 2023-05-22T10:47:55+0000 | {'@type': 'WebPage', '@id': 'https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/23/ukraine-war-live-updates-latest-news-on-russia-and-the-war-in-ukraine.html#107244540-post'} | The head of Russia's prominent private military company, the Wagner Group, said Monday that his fighters will soon leave the town of Bakhmut his fighters claimed to have captured. Commenting on his business' Telegram channel, Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin said "there are lines of defense on the western outskirts [of Bakhmut] now therefore, PMC Wagner is going to leave Artemovsk from May 25 to June 1," he said, using the Soviet-era name for Bakhmut. The Wagner Group claimed to have wholly captured Bakhmut in Eastern Ukraine on Saturday, after months of bloody combat in and around the town. Ukraine has denied Russia's claims that the town has fallen, saying it continues to hold positions on the outskirts of the town. Prigozhin said his group would hand over control of the city to the regular Russian army and made a another dig at the Russian Defense Ministry, with which he has a very fractious relationship, saying it could send its generals — whom he has frequently disparaged as lacking the requisite skills for their positions — to defend the town. "If there are not enough personnel in the ministry of defense [to replace Wagner], we have thousands of generals [in Russia], so we just need to make up one general's regiment, put everyone under arms — and everything will be fine," he said wryly. — Holly Ellyatt | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107242858-1684346707238-gettyimages-1255500225-ua_bakhmut_ukraine_06_may15_2023_maxar.jpeg?v=1684752475', 'width': '1024', 'height': '606'} | null |

BBC Verify, a new unit within the British broadcaster charged with investigating and verifying information, video, and images, said it had examined hundreds of satellite images of Ukraine and had "identified some key points in the significant build-up of trenches and other fortifications in southern Ukraine since October." The images showed a 15-mile section of Crimean coastline "littered with defence structures installed by Russian troops" as well as defensive lines of antitank trenches and dragon's teeth (pyramid-shaped concrete blocks designed to block military vehicles) near the potential area of Ukraine's counteroffensive, in southern Ukraine. Investigative journalists and analysts at the BBC also found that a line of anti-tank ditches and trenches now runs alongside a major highway near the potential counteroffensive site and that the route is likely to be heavily mined; Ukraine has understandably not said where or when it will launch its counteroffensive. Read BBC Verify's article here. The report echoes concerns voiced by British defense analysts last Friday when they said Russia's large-scale defense-building could prove a challenging obstacle for Ukraine to overcome, warning onlookers not to dismiss Russia's military as incompetent, as it had been labeled early on in the invasion after previous mistakes.

Justice ministers from over 40 countries met in London for the war crimes conference days after the global court issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, accusing him of personal responsibility in the abduction of children from Ukraine. Friday's move was the first time the court has issued a warrant against a leader of one of the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council.

"I am confident that with the support of our local and international partners, we will continue to stand with the people of Ukraine," said Denise Brown, U.N. humanitarian coordinator, in a statement. Brown said that in 2022, the U.N. was able to reach 16 million people, or about a third of Ukraine's population, with lifesaving humanitarian assistance. "We organized thousands of humanitarian convoys delivering vital supplies such as food, water, medicine, hygiene kits, and winter supplies to war-torn communities and to those who had fled to safer areas. We worked around the clock to order and deliver generators to critical facilities across the country, mainly to hospitals and shelters, to make sure essential services could continue and people would be protected against the cold of the winter. We also provided material and carried out repairs so that people whose homes had been damaged could live with dignity," she added. — Amanda Macias | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107043257-1649336721799-gettyimages-1390048572-_ste2340.jpeg?v=1679425241', 'width': '594', 'height': '396'} | null |

The U.S. sanctions come as Washington ups the ante against Tehran for supplying Moscow with weapons for its war in Ukraine. Here's a look at the new designations: Defense Technology and Science Research Center for conducting "defense-related procurement and research and development for Iran," according to the Treasury Department. The company was previously sanctioned by the European Union. Asghar Mahmoudi for orchestrating the movement of supplies to Iran. Selin Technic Co. , which the Treasury Department identified as a front company that helped to facilitate Mahmoudi's business with sanctioned entities. Amanallah Paidar for working as a "commercial manager and procurement agent for Iran," according to the Treasury. Farazan Industrial Engineering, Inc. , which the U.S. alleges helped Iran obtain defense supplies and attempted to acquire European-made engines for drones and surface-to-air missiles. Murat Bukey , who the U.S. said is a procurement agent who has backed Paidar. Ozone Havacilik Ve Savunma Sanayi Ticaret Anonim Sirketi, who the Treasury alleged helped to "facilitate Burkey's business with Iran." "Iran's well-documented proliferation of UAVs and conventional weapons to its proxies continues to undermine both regional security and global stability," said Brian Nelson, under secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. "The United States will continue to expose foreign procurement networks in any jurisdiction that supports Iran's military-industrial complex," he added. — Amanda Macias | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107135492-1665994639990-gettyimages-1244032825-AFP_32LK62R.jpeg?v=1679420346', 'width': '2200', 'height': '1617'} | null |

"We believe that many points of the Chinese peace plan correlate to the point of view of the Russian Federation and many of these points can be adopted in the West," Putin said in a speech, according to a readout of the Russian government. "However, we do not see the readiness from their side for this," Putin added, referencing Ukraine and its Western allies. Meanwhile, Chinese President Xi Jinping said in a separate statement that he discussed efforts to boost cooperation between his country and Russia. "The two countries have enjoyed deepening political mutual trust, convergence of interests, and understanding between the peoples, and have advanced cooperation on trade, investment and energy, and on exchanges at people-to-people and sub-national levels," China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a readout of the two-day meeting.

The original plan was to send Ukraine 31 of the newer M1A2 Abrams, which could have taken a year or two to build and ship. But officials said the decision was made to send the older M1A1 version, which can be taken from Army stocks and could be there before the end of the year. Officials said the M1A1 also will be easier for Ukrainian forces to learn to use and maintain as they fight Russia's invasion. The officials spoke on Tuesday on the condition of anonymity because the plan has not yet been publicly announced. Pentagon officials are expected to make the announcement Tuesday. The Biden administration announced in January that it would send the tanks to Ukraine — after insisting for months that they were too complicated and too hard to maintain and repair. The decision was part of a broader political maneuver that opened the door for Germany to announce it would send its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and allow Poland and other allies to do the same. — Associated Press | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107212406-1679411065784-AP19294510420064.jpg?v=1679413333', 'width': '4053', 'height': '2710'} | null |

Security Council in early April on what it said is "the real situation" of Ukrainian children taken to Russia, an issue that has gained the spotlight following the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin for war crimes related to their abduction. Russia's U.N. Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told a news conference Monday that Russia planned the council meeting long before Friday's announcement by the ICC. Russia holds the rotating presidency of the council in April. The court said it was seeking Putin's arrest because he "is allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of (children) and that of unlawful transfer of (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation." The announcement of the warrants for Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, the commissioner for Children's Rights in the Office of the President of the Russian Federation, was welcomed by Ukraine as a first step toward accountability by Russia for crimes following its Feb. 14, 2022, invasion. It was dismissed by Moscow, which is not one of the 123 countries that are parties to the court, calling the action "legally void" and "outrageous." — Associated Press | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107210864-16790733232023-03-17t171331z_219536705_rc2tvz9xcyx5_rtrmadp_0_ukraine-crisis-icc-russia-children.jpeg?v=1679411215', 'width': '3500', 'height': '2223'} | null |

Despite the shelling, about 2,000 civilians remain, Protsyk said. For months, authorities have been urging civilians in areas near the fighting to evacuate to safer parts of the country. But while many have heeded the call, others — including families with children — have steadfastly refused. So it has fallen to police to try to persuade people to leave. A special unit known as the White Angels risk their lives to head into front-line villages and towns, knocking on doors and pleading with the few remaining residents to evacuate. In early March, the government issued an order for the compulsory evacuation of families with children from combat areas. Under the order, children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. But it currently applies only to Bakhmut, the hard-hit eastern city where fighting has raged for months. "The compulsory evacuation order is unfortunately only in force in Bakhmut. In Avdiivka, this law is not adopted," said White Angels policeman Gennadiy Yudin. "We're driving around to all the families. We are warning them, we are informing them about the evacuation." In Bakhmut itself, the situation is so dangerous that civilian evacuations are exceptionally risky. "I already think that for Bakhmut, it's too late," Protsyk said. "Here in our region, ... if such a decision would be made now, it would be safe." But without a compulsory evacuation order, the hands of the police are tied. All they can do is use their powers of persuasion. — Associated Press | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107195185-1676485346671-gettyimages-1247150742-AFP_339A9WC.jpeg?v=1679407569', 'width': '6000', 'height': '4001'} | null |

The vessels are destined for Egypt and are carrying corn. The Black Sea Grain Initiative , a deal brokered in July among Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the United Nations, eased Russia's naval blockade and saw three key Ukrainian ports reopen. The deal was extended over the weekend. Ukraine and the UN pushed for a 120-day extension, but Russia agreed to only 60 days, which would expire in May. So far, more than 700 ships have sailed from Ukrainian ports since the deal began.

It's no secret that Russia would like China to help it out while it flounders in an economic and military quagmire brought about by its invasion of Ukraine a year ago. International sanctions have restricted or cut off Moscow's access to numerous Western markets, while the ongoing war in Ukraine shows all the signs of turning into a bloody stalemate that could, if it loses, cause seismic political change in Moscow. While he's in Moscow, President Xi and President Vladimir Putin have been discussing the war in Ukraine and China's peace plan, according to the Kremlin's spokesman. Unofficially, however, analysts say the presidents are also likely to discuss ways for China to help Russia without it risking being hit with Western sanctions itself. For many close watchers of Russia and China's deepening relationship over the past decade, the big question then is this: What could China want in return for helping Moscow?

"Assault groups of the enemy try to advance from the outskirts to the center of the city, but the Defense Forces work and destroy them 24/7," the Commander of Ukraine's Ground Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Telegram on Tuesday . Both Russian and Ukrainian military officials have acknowledged the difficulty of fighting in and around Bakhmut in Donetsk, where battles have been raging for seven months. Russian forces are believed to almost encircle the city to the north, east and south but Ukraine recently vowed to continue defending the city. Syrskyi said Tuesday that "intensive combat operations" were taking place along the entire front line in eastern Ukraine but that "the defense of Bakhmut continues." There, he said, Russian equipment, manpower and warehouses "are constantly being destroyed." Russia sees the capture of Bakhmut as a stepping stone to other regional targets such as Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. Given the extreme difficulty Russian units and mercenary fighters in the Wagner Group have had in fighting in and around Bakhmut alone, Russia's ability (or appetite) to maintain a wider offensive in the region looks uncertain. Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War said Monday that "Russian forces made marginal gains in and around Bakhmut amid a reported increase in the tempo of Russian operations around Avdiivka," a town south of Bakhmut and north of Donetsk city. "Russian forces likely made additional gains in southwestern and northern Bakhmut," the ISW noted. Nonetheless, the ISW assessed "that the overall Russian spring offensive is likely approaching culmination, and Russian forces may be intensifying efforts to make even marginal gains before they lose the initiative in Ukraine." "It remains possible that Russian advances could prompt Ukraine to withdraw from Bakhmut and/or Avdiivka although neither appears likely at this time," the ISW noted. — Holly Ellyatt | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107212215-1679400062096-gettyimages-1248904750-AFP_33BQ3KF.jpeg?v=1679405765', 'width': '3000', 'height': '2000'} | null |

Kishida will convey "his respect for the courage and perseverance of the Ukrainian people standing up to defend their homeland," it said. Japan will host a G7 summit in Hiroshima in May, and Kishida has previously said that the summit should demonstrate a strong will to uphold international order and rule of law in response to the Ukraine war.

"Obviously, a very thorough exchange of views took place, a serious conversation in the informal part," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, Russian state news agency TASS reported. "I will not give any assessments now, we will wait for the press statements of the two heads of state," he said, referring to a joint statement that's expected to be agreed and released by the leaders after further talks on Tuesday. According to Peskov, Putin and Xi Jinping discussed the 12-point peace plan for Ukraine that China proposed last month, calling for a de-escalation of armed aggression in the country. Western nations have viewed China's peace plan, and the fact it appears to want a role as a mediator in the conflict, with suspicion given Beijing's alignment with Russia on an ideological level and refusal to condemn the invasion of Ukraine. — Holly Ellyatt | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107170350-16717275532022-12-22t164230z_1356465643_rc24by9qoy8l_rtrmadp_0_ukraine-crisis-russia-usa-zelenskiy.jpeg?v=1684251824', 'width': '3201', 'height': '2134'} | null |

Xi and his host, Russian President Vladimir Putin, are expected to hold more talks today and to sign a number of bilateral agreements. The presidents reportedly held talks for at least four hours on Monday.

Before the summit, Putin's assistant, Yuri Ushakov, said Putin and Xi would make a joint statement on their "comprehensive partnership and strategic cooperation entering a new era," and then the leaders would also sign a "joint statement on the plan for the development of key areas of Russian-Chinese economic cooperation up to 2030." "In addition to these two documents, there are many more documents in completely different areas of cooperation - over 10 documents, which are in varying degrees of readiness and will be signed, as they say, on the sidelines of the visit," Ushakov said, according to a report by Russia state news agency Tass .

The leaders were expected to talk about strengthening economic and political ties, as Ukraine and its allies watch whether China will move to provide military support to Moscow. — Jacob Pramuk | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107211592-16793260482023-03-20t150251z_1134291389_rc2rxz9voegf_rtrmadp_0_china-russia-diplomacy-xi-putin.jpeg?v=1679381995', 'width': '3500', 'height': '2402'} | null |

The Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights said the death toll in Ukraine is likely higher, because the armed conflict can delay fatality reports. "Most of the civilian casualties recorded were caused by the use of explosive weapons with wide area effects, including shelling from heavy artillery, multiple launch rocket systems, missiles and air strikes," the international organization wrote in a release. — Amanda Macias | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107177819-1673534077419-gettyimages-1246179293-AFP_336X67B.jpeg?v=1675816480', 'width': '3526', 'height': '2299'} | null |

Hidalgo previously said Russian competitors could take part under a neutral flag but she backpedaled on Tuesday in an interview with French media France Info. Acknowledging that a final decision belongs to the International Olympic Committee, Hidalgo said she wishes Russian athletes will be banned "as long as there is this war, this Russian aggression on Ukraine." "It is not possible to parade as if nothing had happened, to have a delegation that comes to Paris while the bombs continue to rain down on Ukraine." Hidalgo's comments came after Ukraine's sports minister last week renewed a threat to boycott the games if Russia and Belarus are allowed to compete and said Kyiv would lobby others to join. No nation has so far declared it will boycott the 2024 Summer Games. But Ukraine won support from Poland, the Baltic nations and Denmark, who pushed back against an IOC plan to allow delegations from Russia and ally Belarus to compete in Paris as "neutral athletes" without flags or anthems. — Associated Press | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/103799244-GettyImages-474420451.jpg?v=1676050421', 'width': '4974', 'height': '2807'} | null |

According to court documents unsealed in New York, Vladimir Voronchenko participated in a "scheme to make over $4 million in U.S. dollar payments to maintain four real properties in the United States that were owned by Viktor Vekselberg." Vekselberg was most recently sanctioned by the United States in the weeks after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. He was previously designated in 2018 for his role in supporting the Kremlin's annexation of Crimea. Voronchenko, 70, attempted to sell two of those four properties on Vekselberg's behalf; a Park Avenue apartment in New York City and a Southampton estate. Voronchenko also worked to conceal the ownership of Vekselberg's luxury properties. The case is the latest operation carried out by the Department of Justice task force, dubbed KleptoCapture, aimed at depriving Russian oligarchs of assets and other tools used to evade sanctions. — Amanda Macias | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107030172-1647285919686-vick.jpg?v=1675804834', 'width': '3000', 'height': '2000'} | null |

The ruling by the Moscow City Court against Novaya Gazeta, which was Russia's most renowned independent newspaper until the authorities ordered it shut last year, comes as Russia's grinding military campaign in Ukraine approaches its one-year mark. The court rejected Novaya Gazeta's appeal against September's ruling by a district court in Moscow that approved a petition by Russia's media regulator to revoke Novaya Gazeta's license. The regulator accused the newspaper of failing to submit its newsroom charter to authorities on time, the claim that Novaya Gazeta rejected as a cover for what it described as the authorities' effort to muzzle an independent voice. Dmitry Muratov, Nobel Peace Prize-winning editor-in-chief of the newspaper, denounced Tuesday's ruling, saying that it "serves a bunch of people who want to leave the nation facing only propaganda." Days after Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24, the Kremlin-controlled parliament approved legislation that outlawed alleged disparaging of the Russian military or the spread of "false information" about the country's military campaign in Ukraine. Dozens of Russian independent media outlets were banned as a result, while others announced that they were halting any reporting related to Ukraine. — Associated Press | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107078241-1655809983010-gettyimages-1404107113-032a2706_3a23e123-244a-48bc-bee2-e56aff3e3123.jpeg?v=1675801343', 'width': '5780', 'height': '3854'} | null |

"Ukrainian defenders are heroically repelling the attacks of the Russian occupiers along the entire line of the eastern front," Ukraine's Ground Forces said in a statement. "In the eastern direction of the front, the Russian occupiers do not stop their offensive attempts in the Lyman and Bakhmut directions," the statement, translated by Google, noted. It added that Russian forces continue "to make attempts to break through our defenses" but suffer "heavy losses." "On the approaches to Bakhmut, our military showed great endurance and professionalism, which hindered the enemy's actions and caused enormous losses in manpower for the Russian occupiers," the statement continued, saying that as a result, Russian forces had not been able to break through the defenses of the "Bakhmut fortress." CNBC was unable to verify the information in the update. Russian forces and mercenaries belonging to the private military company known as the Wagner Group have been attempting to capture Bakhmut for months. Capturing the city in Donetsk is seen as a strategic goal for Russia as it tries to seize the region and wider Donbas area of eastern Ukraine. Russia is expected to launch a large-scale offensive action to try to seize Donbas in the coming weeks. — Holly Ellyatt | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107187813-1675321163548-gettyimages-1246717058-AFP_338B4T6.jpeg?v=1676275017', 'width': '6000', 'height': '4001'} | null |

Roksolana Pidlasa, the head of the parliamentary budget committee, said spending had been increased by 5.5 billion hryvnias ($150 million). The increase included funds to finance and modernise hospitals in the capital Kyiv and the western city of Lviv, and to rebuild bridges damaged in Russia's war on Ukraine. The amended budget also plans for 1.28 billion hryvnias in additional support for small businesses in the processing industry and state guarantees for loans in the agriculture sector. Almost a year of war has ravaged Ukraine's public finances, leading to double-digit inflation, higher unemployment, a sharp fall in exports and big losses in revenue and tax income. Ukraine's budget deficit this year is expected to be about $38 billion. The government plans to cover the deficit with Western foreign aid. The finance ministry has said the budget received 35.8 billion hryvnias from tax revenues and 31.5 billion hryvnias from customs in January. The government also received 155.24 billion hryvnias in foreign aid last month. — Reuters | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107131584-gettyimages-1372012399-cm1_8060_1955a11e-85d2-4452-a079-8c04a680ed6a.jpeg?v=1684393649', 'width': '594', 'height': '396'} | null |

"The USA and its allies are trying to prolong the conflict as much as possible," Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said on a conference call reported by Russia's Ministry of Defense on Tuesday. "With this purpose, they have started to deliver heavy offensive weapons openly urging Ukraine to capture our territories," he said, without providing evidence. Such steps, he added, bring NATO into the conflict "and can lead to an unpredictable level of its escalation." NATO has offered Ukraine weapons to fight Russia, but has repeatedly insisted that they must be used in a defense capacity and not deployed against targets on Russian territory. Shoigu said Russian forces were making progress in eastern Ukraine, listing a number of settlements that Russia has captured in recent weeks, including Soledar. He said Russian forces were making progress around Vuhledar and Bakhmut (called 'Artemovsk' by Russia). "The groups of Russian forces continue grinding all the armament and hardware delivered to Kyiv [by its allies], both at the routes of their delivery, and at the combat positions," Shoigu said, adding that Ukraine was suffering "considerable losses." Russia and Ukraine both claim that each others' forces have suffered high death tolls from relentless combat in parts of eastern Ukraine. Analysts say that Russian forces have made incremental gains in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine in recent weeks. — Holly Ellyatt | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107169588-16716342942022-12-21t143641z_2056524627_rc2eay9ufbcy_rtrmadp_0_ukraine-crisis-putin-military.jpeg?v=1682429079', 'width': '3500', 'height': '2408'} | null |

"Thank you all for your support, as well as constructive criticism," Reznikov said on Twitter. A top Ukrainian lawmaker said Sunday that Reznikov was going to be replaced as defense minister with the chief of Ukraine's military spy agency, Kyrylo Budanov. The government has not yet officially confirmed the move, however, and the official — David Arakhamia, head of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's parliamentary bloc — said Monday that the changes would not take place this week. The prospect of a possible wartime reshuffle, which has not been confirmed by the government, has raised eyebrows as it comes ahead of an expected Russian offensive in mid-February, and after a purge of government officials as part of a crackdown on corruption. Several defense officials lost their jobs as part of the crackdown following a procurement scandal at the defense ministry, although Reznikov had denied allegations made against it. On Tuesday, Reznikov said reforms continue to take place in Ukraine, even during the war. — Holly Ellyatt | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107179634-1673978296059-gettyimages-1457126091-img_2796_samsonov_17012023_kyiv_dt.jpeg?v=1682009324', 'width': '3500', 'height': '2333'} | null |

The English-language online paper said a large part of thousands of bunkers, reinforced cellars and other safe hideouts had been out of use for decades but that the war in Ukraine had prompted the authorities to spend millions of rubles to make them fit for use again. "A decision to inspect the network of bomb shelters was made by the government in the spring," one Russian official told the news outlet, citing knowledge of government meetings on the matter. "The command for a large-scale inspection and to put things right was given by the Emergency Situations Ministry, the Defense Ministry and [other] civilian ministries," the unnamed official said. The paper noted that the overhaul of the country's bomb shelter network comes against the backdrop of Kremlin nuclear saber-rattling and "a growing militarization of daily life in Russia." — Holly Ellyatt | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107189941-1675762979343-gettyimages-80276547-51607188.jpeg?v=1675763436', 'width': '3000', 'height': '1998'} | null |

"We are seeing more and more (Russian) reserves being deployed in our direction, we are seeing more equipment being brought in," Serhiy Haidai, Ukraine's governor of the mainly Russian-occupied Luhansk province, said Monday, according to Reuters. "They bring ammunition that is used differently than before - it is not round-the-clock shelling anymore. They are slowly starting to save, getting ready for a full-scale offensive," Haidai told Ukrainian television. "It will most likely take them 10 days to gather reserves. After Feb. 15 we can expect (this offensive) at any time." Ukrainian officials have been warning for weeks that Russia is planning to launch a large-scale offensive in mid-February — and perhaps times to coincide with the first anniversary of the invasion — in order to try to capture the entire eastern Donbas region. Fighting has been relentlessly intense in Donetsk and Luhansk, which make up the Donbas, for months. Ukraine is in a tricky position as it prepares to defend its positions in eastern Ukraine but awaits battle tanks and longer-range weaponry from its international allies.

Russia's "operational goal is almost certainly to capture the remaining Ukrainian-held parts of Donetsk Oblast [region]," it added in its daily intelligence update on Twitter. "Russian forces have only managed to gain several hundred metres of territory per week. This is almost certainly because Russia now lacks the munitions and manoeuvre units required for successful offensives." The ministry noted that senior commanders are likely making plans "requiring undermanned, inexperienced units to achieve unrealistic objectives due to political and professional pressure" with Ukrainian intelligence suggesting that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants the Donbas region to be captured by March. "Russian leaders will likely continue to demand sweeping advances. It remains unlikely that Russia can build up the forces needed to substantially affect the outcome of the war within the coming weeks," the ministry said. — Holly Ellyatt | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107138269-1666289916794-gettyimages-1244105720-AA_20102022_907962.jpeg?v=1696324777', 'width': '1880', 'height': '1160'} | null |

Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov told a news conference in Kyiv that Ukraine has already received everything from its "wish list to Santa," except planes. "There will be planes, too," Reznikov predicted. "The question is just what kind exactly.... Consider that this mission is already completed." So far, Ukraine has won support from Baltic nations and Poland in its quest to obtain Western fighter jets. But several Western leaders have expressed concern that providing warplanes could provoke the Kremlin and draw their countries deeper into the conflict, which has cost tens of thousands of lives and wreaked massive destruction. Kyiv says such jets are essential to challenging Russia's air superiority and ensuring success in a Russian offensive that Reznikov predicted could begin around the war's one-year anniversary, Feb. 24. — Associated Press | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107149966-16681072602022-11-10t190206z_462720421_rc21jx9nqqsj_rtrmadp_0_ukraine-crisis-reznikov.jpeg?v=1675702057', 'width': '3500', 'height': '2333'} | null |

"This is another clear sign that the Kremlin has no intention of ending the war." A widely-expected and forthcoming Russian offensive may be launched in Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine, and Zaporizhia in the south, Skibitskyi said. "At the same time, Russian troops will further defend [a part of the] Kherson region and Crimea," Skibitskyi said, according to Ukrinform. — Holly Ellyatt | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107132423-1665488650697-gettyimages-1243760804-AA_06102022_890594.jpeg?v=1696334055', 'width': '5472', 'height': '3648'} | null |

BlogPosting | 'Very difficult' situation in Donetsk where battles are raging, Zelenskyy says | https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/07/ukraine-war-live-updates-latest-news-on-russia-and-the-war-in-ukraine.html#107189250-post | 2023-02-06T08:13:10+0000 | 2023-02-06T08:13:10+0000 | {'@type': 'WebPage', '@id': 'https://www.cnbc.com/2023/02/07/ukraine-war-live-updates-latest-news-on-russia-and-the-war-in-ukraine.html#107189250-post'} | Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the area of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine continues to be a hot spot in the war, with the country now preparing for a Russian offensive aimed at seizing the entire eastern Donbas region. "There are already many reports that the occupiers want to do something symbolic in February. To try to avenge their last year's defeats," Zelenskyy said in his nightly address Sunday evening , referring to Russia's expected offensive. "We see this increased pressure in various areas of the frontline, as well as pressure in the information field," the president added. Donetsk has been the scene of intense fighting for several months, with Ukrainian forces battling regular Russian army units as well as mercenaries belonging to the Wagner Group private military company. In recent weeks, Russian forces have been seen to have made gains around the area of Bakhmut, capturing which is a key aim for them. Zelenskyy remarked Sunday that "it is very difficult in the Donetsk region - there are fierce battles. But no matter how hard it is and no matter how much pressure there is, we have to withstand it." He added that every day has to be spent reinforcing "our defense at the front, to strengthen our international position, to increase pressure on Russia and to give our people new opportunities to get through this difficult time." — Holly Ellyatt | {'@type': 'NewsMediaOrganization', 'name': 'CNBC', 'url': 'https://www.cnbc.com/', 'foundingDate': '1989-04-17', 'logo': {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://sc.cnbcfm.com/applications/cnbc.com/staticcontent/img/cnbc-hdr-logo2.png', 'width': 378, 'height': 98}, 'sameAs': ['https://www.facebook.com/cnbc', 'https://www.instagram.com/cnbc', 'https://www.linkedin.com/company/cnbc', 'https://twitter.com/cnbc', 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNBC', 'https://www.youtube.com/cnbc']} | {'@type': 'ImageObject', 'url': 'https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/107189251-1675665372224-gettyimages-1246792561-AFP_338J4M6.jpeg?v=1676279653', 'width': '6000', 'height': '4001'} | null |
