In Ukraine, the dead are counted day after day. This Sunday at dawn, rescuers were trying to find survivors in the ruins of a building in Dnipro (in the east) hit by a Russian strike. At the end of the day, the toll had already reached more than 20 dead, mainly civilians. “The enemy carried out three airstrikes and about fifty missile launches during the day,” specified the staff of the Ukrainian army. On the front line, the kyiv authorities still claimed to control the small town of Soledar (East) which Moscow claimed to have taken after fierce fighting. “Everything is going according to plan,” said a confident Vladimir Putin, for whom his army’s campaign in Ukraine is following a “positive dynamic”. Will NATO accelerate the supply of heavy tanks to Ukraine? The idea is gaining ground. The United Kingdom promised on Saturday the delivery “in the coming weeks” of 14 Challenger 2 heavy tanks. Poland has already said it is ready to deliver 14 Leopard 2 heavy tanks of German design.
