• 5 a.m.: Ukraine demands “fire parity” with Russians after Severodonetsk withdrawal

"I stressed the need to achieve fire parity with the enemy, which will allow us to stabilize the situation in the most threatened region of Luhansk," said Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhnyi , reporting on his Facebook page on a telephone conversation with his American counterpart, General Mark Milley.

Ukraine continues to demand more heavy weapons from its allies to counter Russian strike power, particularly in the Donbass, an industrial region in the east of the country, already partially under the control of pro-Russian separatists since 2014, and that Moscow has sworn to conquer completely.
