Russia-Ukraine war live

In late 2022, as Ukrainian counteroffensives reclaimed ground in the east of the country, the front between Bakhmut and Soledar to the north became a key focus for both sides. The Battle for Bakhmut has turned the city and surrounding areas into a hellscape over the last eight-and-a-half months. Ukrainian forces are seen to recover quickly from a grenade explosion at the opening of the dug out, assessing injuries and reporting that 'orcs jumped into our trenches'. Yet Russia has slowly managed to gain control of the area by exhausting Ukraine’s supplies in a deadly war of attrition, and is now believed to control around 80% of the city.

This in turn would prevent reinforcements from being sent to other key Ukrainian cities such as Kyiv. It added that “capturing these locations would consolidate Russian military control of the north-eastern Donbas and provide a staging point for their efforts to cut off Ukrainian forces in the region”. The British Ministry of Defence said on Wednesday that 22 BTGs had been deployed “near Izium” in a bid to capture two significant cities nearby, which would lay the groundwork for encircling Ukrainian forces.

Already one American filmmaker has been killed by the Russian invaders. In the video above, a Sky News team are attacked by Russian death squads, but manage to survive. What we are witnessing in Ukraine may well be dubbed as the first online resistance campaign of our time. Although none of these tactics are new, for the first time, we are seeing this multifaceted resistance develop in real time, online. Its viral nature comes with a host of benefits as well as potential pitfalls.

It is approximately 39 minutes after Mark’s men called a radio report (9-liner) to have him extracted from Haji Alem. The Special Investigations Branch of the Military Police report (SIB report) confirms that the US Black Hawk helicopter is only just taking off from Camp Bastion to medevac Mark. As the soldier with the head-cam enters to his left Mark is seen lying on the ground as his men try to help him. Nato’s frequency is called ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) military net. He shouts down the radio, “It’s under ISAF f###### military…” to make his message clear. The film reveals the first round hit Lt Evison’s body armour, but the second hit his shoulder from behind, severing an artery, and leaving his body through the front of his shoulder.
Ukrainian troops have also been accused of abuses, and last year Kyiv said it would investigate video circulating online that Moscow alleged showed Ukrainian forces killing Russian troops  who may have been trying to surrender. The video spread quickly online and drew outrage from officials in Kyiv including President Volodymyr Zelensky, as well as international organisations. With Russian landing craft at sea within the Baltic, Swedish military commanders were also concerned, sending troops to the streets of the Baltic island of Gotland, seen as a likely potential target for Russian seizure in any more with the Baltic states.

Intense footage from the frontlines in Ukraine shows a squad of soldiers fending off an ambush from Russian forces on the outskirts of Bakhmut. A spokesperson for the German defence ministry said Berlin’s stance still stood. “The Kyiv regime is already crossing all the lines,” Natalia, 59, told Reuters, referring to the Ukrainian government which Russia said was behind the drone attack on Moscow.
And the Taliban’s capture of Kabul, with all the chaos that wrought, was live-tweeted into our homes last year. Images of unspeakable horrors supplanting the banality of status updates and selfies is nothing new. But the current conflict is a very different kind of social media war, fueled by TikTok’s transformative effect on the old norms of tech. Its more established competitors fundamentally changed the nature of conflict, but TikTok has created a stream of war footage the likes of which we have never seen, from grandmothers saying goodbye to friends to instructions on how to drive captured Russian tanks.

While the attack on the plant continues, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) siad Russia’s offensive has “lost momentum” while up to a third of its ground force has now been lost since the invasion of Ukraine began. Sharing videos off-platform has long been a tool deployed by parent company ByteDance to help promote TikTok. One of Vasyuta’s TikTok videos, showing bombs raining down on Kyiv, has been seen 44 million times on TikTok—and shared beyond the app nearly 200,000 times. Where it’s gone is difficult to tell—TikTok’s method of sharing removes the ability to trace a video back to its source—but a search of Twitter shows plenty of videos shared from TikTok on the platform.

It noted that Russia has launched 20 nights of one-way-attack uncrewed aerial vehicle and cruise missile attacks deep inside Ukraine this month. The centre said on the Telegram messaging service that Ukrainian forces had used HIMARS rocket launchers to attack a poultry farm in the village of Karpaty. "The UK acts as Ukraine’s ally providing it with military aid in the form of equipment and specialists, i.e., de facto is leading an undeclared war against Russia," Medvedev said on Twitter. His comments came after foreign secretary James Cleverly said Ukraine had the right to “project force beyond its borders” into Russia to resist Mr Putin’s invasion. Artificial intelligence could lead to the extinction of humanity and the risks should be treated with the same urgency as nuclear war, dozens of experts have warned – including the pioneers who developed it.
As the war went on at least 350 UKSF members, across SAS, SBS and SRR, were reportedly in Libya, leading the hunt, along with their French counterparts, for Col. Gaddafi and his loyalists. Meanwhile, on 1 March the UK MoD reported ''Russia has failed to gain control of the airspace over Ukraine prompting a shift to night operations in an attempt to reduce their losses' a significant shift in its tactics. Without NVGs, targeting pods and PGMs - along with RuAF's lack of training for night operations, this is likely to lead to less effective and more indiscriminate air strikes.
