– Russian forces have now shifted most of their focus on the Donbas region in eastern Ukraine with assaults beginning Monday along a 480-kilometre long front. Russian soldiers who retreated from the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv have since regrouped in preparation for a major assault on Donbas, which had seen fighting since 2014 from Russia-backed separatists. Russia claims it hit 1,260 Ukrainian military facilities and 1,214 troop concentrations over a 24-hour span, but the numbers have not been independently verified. United States President Joe Biden will hold a call with allies on Tuesday to discuss the crisis.
