"Ukraine Signals Impending Counterattack as Russian Assault Loses Steam in Bakhmut"

As the Russia-Ukraine war enters its 394th day, Hungary said Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be arrested if he enters the country despite the International Criminal Court issuing an arrest warrant against him on war crimes charges. Ukrainian President Volodmy Zelenskyy called on the EU to provide his forces with more modern weaponry, particularly jet fighters and long-range missiles. Ukrainian commander Oleksandr Syrskyi said Russian forces fighting in Bakhmut were "losing considerable strength and are running out of steam". The international medical aid group Doctors Without Borders has revealed in a new report the widespread destruction of health facilities in Ukraine due to Russia's invasion. Slovakia's defence ministry said the country has handed over the first four of its Soviet-era MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine and the remainder of the 13 planes pledged are to be delivered in the coming weeks.
