Q&A

The situation is uncertain, with Ukrainian forces claiming to have regained some territory near the city [PBS], while Russia continues its operations [Pravda][Pravda][Pravda].



News Media Bias (?)


Some sources may favor Ukrainian advancements, such as PBS [PBS] and Ukrinform [ukrinform.net], while Pravda [Pravda][Pravda] focuses more on the Russian perspective.

Independent verification is difficult.
