The combat seems to have moved to eastern Ukraine as the Russia-Ukraine war enters its 48th day.
On Tuesday, Ukraine’s Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar claimed that authorities are investigating allegations that Russia may have used chemical weapons in Mariupol.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has informed Russia that if it wants the Kremlin’s most visible supporter in the nation released, it must release prisoners of war, as the US is likely to deploy additional weaponry following Russia’s clearest indication yet that the conflict will continue.
