Ukraine reinforces Donetsk as it seeks to disrupt Russia's weapons flow

Is the war entering a new phase? Ukraine reinforces Donetsk as it seeks to disrupt Russia's weapons flow Share Ukraine reinforces Donetsk as it seeks to disrupt Russia's weapons flow on social media Ukraine has reinforced the defence of its eastern Donetsk region as Russia mounted renewed efforts to seize Sloviansk, a key part of Ukraine's "fortress belt" of cities that include Kramatorsk, Druzhkivka and Kostiantynivka. At the same time, Britain and France made a crucial decision to transfer Storm Shadow cruise missile technology to Kyiv, as Ukraine shifts its air defence strategy to destroying Russia's means of ballistic missile production and launch, rather than intercepting the missiles individually. Russia has also been infiltrating the fortress city of Kostiantynivka to the south of Sloviansk, but does not control it. Ukrainian military observer Kostyantyn Mashovets said Kyiv still maintains positions in central and northern Kostiantynivka.
