PAVLOGRAD, Ukraine – Russian forces on Wednesday made gradual gains in their offensive in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine as Western nations rushed more weapons at superior Ukrainian troops.
In the port city of Mariupol in Donbass, besieged by Russian forces since late February, other Ukrainian defenders warned that time was running out and demanded their evacuation to a third country, along with the wounded and civilians sheltered in a shrinking Ukrainian-controlled area. Russia has called for an unconditional surrender and has continued to launch artillery and air strikes on Ukrainian forces, which are hiding mainly in Azovstal’s extensive steel production.
