Russia-Ukraine war enters second week Russia has been on the offensive for 14 days. But Ukrainian President Vladimir Selensky said he would fight to the last breath against Russia in the war. Russia has announced a temporary ceasefire, but two weeks after the start of the war, Russia’s offensive continues.
Russia has announced a ceasefire in Ukraine today as part of a rescue mission. The ceasefire was announced in five cities: Kiev, Chernihiv, Sumi, Kharkiv and Mariupol. Many people from these cities are fleeing en masse to different countries. Ukrainian President Vladimir Selensky has vowed to fight to the last breath against Russia and to continue fighting for his country at all costs.
Selensky’s announcement was made while addressing the British Parliament. But sanctions against Russia continue. According to a statement issued by the US State Department, Russia is not allowed to host or bid for international sporting events.
850 McDonald’s restaurants in Russia have been temporarily closed. The Russian Football Union has appealed against the suspension of Russian teams and clubs from FIFA and UEFA matches. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke by phone with Dutch Prime Minister Monk Rutte to assess the progress of the evacuation of Indians from Ukraine.
