Eastern Ukrainian town of Volnovakha completely destroyed after Russia invasion

It is more and more difficult to confirm the exact number of civilians killed and wounded in this barbaric war. The military losses are also difficult to assess. But, Putin’s savage bombing of civilian structures – schools, hospitals, residential districts, private homes – proves that these horrific actions are WAR CRIMES (File photo: Euromaidan Press)

Donetsk governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said on Saturday, the eastern Ukrainian town of Volnovakha has been completely destroyed following the Russian invasion but fighting continues for territory there to prevent a Russian encirclement, Metro US reported, citing Reuters.

On day 17 of Russian invasion, the Euromaidan Press reported that in Luhansk Oblast, the entire territory, which is under the control of Ukraine is being shelled. Dozens of civilians were killed. Ukrainian army holds central Severodonetsk city and surrounding but 70% of the region is occupied (35% was before 2022).

Upon arriving to participate in the summit of the European Political Community, which includes around forty heads of state in Budapest, he said, "I look forward to sitting with the elected U.S. president and seeing how we will collectively ensure we meet challenges, including the threats from Russia and North Korea." He also noted that the strengthening of ties between Russia and North Korea poses a threat to the United States as well, according to reports from Agence France-Presse.

Before Trump's victory, Rutte expressed confidence that a united Washington would remain part of the defensive alliance, even if Trump became the 47th president of the United States. In an interview with German public broadcaster ZDF last Monday night, he stated that both Republicans and Democrats understand that NATO serves not only the security of Europe but also that of America. He added that both candidates are aware that the security of the United States is closely tied to NATO.

On Wednesday, NATO congratulated Trump on his victory but did not address the Ukrainian issue.

It is noteworthy that the relationship between the elected U.S. president and the defense alliance was not the best during his first term in the White House. Trump criticized NATO member states multiple times and even hinted at withdrawing from the alliance unless they increased their financial contributions.

Additionally, the issue of the Russian-Ukrainian war is one of the matters that complicate relations between the two sides, especially since Trump has repeatedly stated that he can end this ongoing conflict, which began in 2022, quickly. He implied that he had a peace plan between Kyiv and Moscow, while his vice president, JD Vance, revealed aspects of that plan, which stipulated Ukraine's commitment not to join NATO, thereby sending reassuring signals to the Russians.

Furthermore, many NATO member states in Europe fear that Trump might halt military aid to Ukraine after he previously criticized the U.S. for pouring funds into supporting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
