BAKHMUT , Dec 9 ― Russian forces shelled the entire front line of Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine yesterday, Ukrainian officials said, part of what appeared to be the Kremlin's scaled-back ambition to secure only the bulk of lands it has claimed.
In Bakhmut and other parts of the Donetsk region that neighbours Luhansk province, Ukrainian forces countered with barrages from rocket launchers, Reuters witnessed. In Rome, Pope Francis broke down and cried as he mentioned the suffering of Ukrainians during a traditional prayer. The Kremlin said on Thursday it was still set on securing at least the bulk of the territories in east and south Ukraine that Moscow has declared part of Russia, but appeared to give up on seizing other territory in the west and northeast that Ukraine has recaptured.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says his troops will eventually drive Russia from all the captured territory, including the Crimea peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014 that sits between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.In the settlement of Posad-Pokrovske in the southern region of Kherson, retaken by Ukraine, some villagers have returned to homes damaged or reduced to rubble by Russian shells, set in a landscape of downed utility poles and spent munitions.
