The Russian army has taken “more advantageous lines and positions” in the Zaporizhia region of Ukraine, according to reports. Ukrainian forces have not taken control of the village of Lezhyno, which was hit by artillery fire. Vyacheslav Volodin, the speaker of the lower house of Russia’s parliament, has warned that countries supplying Ukraine with weapons could cause a “global tragedy that would destroy their countries”. Germany has ordered a review of its Leopard 2 stocks in preparation for a possible green light, but has shown caution. France and Germany committed to showing “unwavering support” to Ukraine during ceremonies and talks Sunday celebrating the 60th anniversary of their postWorld War II friendship treaty. Poland has offered to build a “smaller coalition” of countries to send weapons to Ukraine if Germany does not consent.
