Russia’s army has made its biggest weekly advance in Ukraine since the early days of its full-scale invasion, analysts have said, with its troops entering a key frontline town in the Donetsk region.
The gains came as Russia vowed a fresh response to new Ukrainian strikes on its territory with US-supplied missiles, something the Kremlin has warned could spark a nuclear war, as one of President Putin’s top allies said Moscow had no interest in a ceasefire.
