A top Ukrainian official identified a shift in Russian strategies, as Russia is now looking to annex two Ukrainian cities.
"The occupiers will try to pull the occupied territories into a single quasi-state structure and pit it against independent Ukraine," Budanov said in a statement via the Defense Ministry. The official said Ukraine would continue to fight to defend the regions.
The occupied territories include Donetsk and Luhansk, two cities Russian officials have demanded Kyiv hand over amid the negotiation process. In the Sunday address, Zelenskyy called for additional fighter jets and tanks to push back Russian advances, as the latter country has pivoted its focus to taking over the Donbas region in Eastern Ukraine.
"I’ve talked to the defenders of Mariupol today. I’m in constant contact with them. Their determination, heroism and firmness are astonishing," Zelenskyy said in the address."If only those who have been thinking for 31 days on how to hand over dozens of jets and tanks had 1% of their courage." A Russian military vehicle destroyed during combats against Ukrainian army is seen in a corn field in Sytnyaky, on the outskirts of Kyiv, Ukraine, Sunday, March 27, 2022.
