The head of the Moscow-controlled part of Donetsk, Denis Pushilin, said Russian forces now held 75% of the city.“The Russians have turned Avdiivka into a total ruin,” said Pavlo Kyrylenko, Donetsk’s regional governor, describing an air strike on Monday that destroyed a multi-storey building.In Chasiv Yar, the first major town to Bakhmut’s west, few buildings are left intact and locals lining up to collect food and other aid do not even flinch at the sound of artillery.
The documents detail topics including information on the Ukraine conflict, in which Washington has supplied Kyiv with huge amounts of weapons and led international condemnation of Moscow’s invasion. Some national security experts and US officials have said they suspect the leaker could be American, but have not ruled out pro-Russian actors.
Donetsk is one of four provinces in eastern and southern Ukraine that Russia declared annexed last year and is seeking to fully occupy in what appears to be a shift in its war aims after failing to overrun the country after its February 2022 invasion.
