“This is how the terrorist state marks Palm Sunday,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address. “This is how Russia places itself in even greater isolation from the world.”
The majority of Ukraine’s 41 million people are Orthodox Christians who celebrate Easter a week from now. Russia’s Defence Ministry said its forces had destroyed a depot containing 70,000 tonnes of fuel near Zaporizhzhia. It also said Russian forces had destroyed Ukrainian army warehouses storing missiles, ammunition and artillery in Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions.The General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces said more than 40 enemy attacks had been repelled over the past 24 hours.
The military have said Ukrainian forces will keep defending Bakhmut against repeated Russian attacks, though Zelensky last week acknowledged that if troops risked being encircled they could be pulled back.
