Chechen leader: Mariupol will fall today!

The war in Ukraine is gone on the 57th day. The second phase, with the Russian large-scale offensive against eastern Ukraine to occupy the Donbass, is underway, but according to the United States, Russian progress is still limited.

Moscow announced yesterday that it had tested the new Sarmat ballistic missile, capable, according to the Ministry of Defense, of "penetrating any existing or future missile defense system". For Putin, the new missile "will make those who threaten Russia think twice."

Mariupol remains besieged, and the last bastion of resistance. The Azovstal steel plant continues to ignore Russian ultimatums. Ukraine yesterday offered a "special negotiation session" to be held in Mariupol.

The Chechen leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, said Russian forces would neutralize today the latest resistance by the Azov Regiment and the Ukrainian Marines at the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol.

"Before or after lunch today Azovstal will be under the full control of the forces of the Russian Federation," Kadyrov wrote on his Twitter profile.

The occupation of the steel plant would mark the final occupation of Mariupol by Russian forces, who have besieged the city since the beginning of the military occupation of Ukraine about eight weeks ago.

China, on the other hand, continues not to condemn Russian aggression in Ukraine, where Chinese leader Xi Jinping proposed a new approach to "promoting world security," which "respects the sovereignty of all states and the path of development that each chooses."

"We respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries. "We adhere to the non-interference in the internal affairs of others and equally respect the path of development that everyone chooses," said the Chinese leader, noting that Beijing is against "the typical Cold War mentality, unilateralism and blockade", the statement that the country's politicians Asian often use it when referring to the United States to criticize its foreign policy.
