A Senior Ukrainian Military official on Thursday said that Russia plans for a renewed attack on Kyiv if it can first take control of Donbas, reported Reuters. Russian forces have started using old tanks, the official added, a sign that its resources are being exhausted. 

Separately, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Thursday on Twitter that he met with G7 ministers and told them that Ukraine can defeat Russia if the world provides the necessary support. "Ukraine proposes a fair deal: the world provides us with all the support we require; we fight and defeat Putin in Ukraine," he said.
