Ukraine: The situation is escalating - the enemy is preparing an offensive
During the last week, Ukraine stated that Russia is attacking hard along the northeastern front and on Monday the commander Oleksandr Syrskyi says that the situation in the area has escalated further, writes Sky News.
He describes it as Russian artillery raining down on the Donetsk region and that civilians have been evacuated from the area.
- The enemy is seriously preparing for an offensive and bringing in personnel, he says in a video clip according to Reuters.
Furthermore, he says that Russia seems to want "revenge" for Ukraine liberating land in the north-eastern parts of the country.

The Riksdag gave tanks that ÖB wanted to keep
The military support that Sweden's Riksdag has given to Ukraine includes tanks that the Swedish Armed Forces actually wanted to keep. This is what ÖB Micael Bydén says to DN.
- We submitted our application in October last year. It was quite comprehensive, we took in as much as we could. We also said that in this there were things that we recommended not to give away.
Defense Minister Pål Jonson (M) says that new tanks must be purchased for the Armed Forces. However, no order has been placed yet, and the defense industry is struggling to meet demand.
