Ceasefire reached after chemical attack on Ukrainian positions.

Heavy combat has been reported across Ukraine, with more than 20 engagements occurring in areas in the Donetsk region. Ukraine claims it made gains around Bakhmut and says nearly 200 Russian soldiers were killed within the last day. US President Joe Biden spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and reaffirmed unwavering US support. UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged all parties involved in the insurrection in Russia to avoid furthering tensions. The Russian State Duma is working on a law to regulate the Wagner Group, and US officials were surprised that Russia's professional military didn't do a better job of confronting Wagner troops as they moved into Rostov and up toward Moscow.
