The war of aggression unleashed by Russia has been raging in Ukraine for 100 days this Friday. At the same time, Ukrainian troops continue to defend themselves against the loss of the city of Sievjerodonetsk in the east, where Russian troops are advancing with their superior firepower. The city should not be abandoned if possible, said Deputy Chief of Staff Oleksiy Hromov on Thursday in Kyiv.
