Ukraine says Russian advance has ‘slowed significantly’

The General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces says that while the Russian offensive is continuing, it has “slowed significantly.”

“The occupiers are demoralized and increasingly turning to looting and violations of international humanitarian law on military conflicts,” the armed forces write in a post on Facebook.

The military lists a number of transgressions, including alleging that Russian troops have been committed acts of violence toward Ukrainian civilians, appropriated property and set up military positions in populated areas.

Ukraine also says Russia is using psychological warfare to spread propaganda among the population.

None of the claims can be immediately independently verified.
