Ukrainian Force fire artillery systems from NATO allies in Donetsk region

Ukrainian Force fire artillery systems from NATO allies in Donetsk region. Commanding a Czech-made RM-70 multiple launch rocket system, Mykola commented on the much expected Ukrainian counter offensive. Ukrainian soldiers fired western-supplied artillery systems in the eastern Donetsk region on Wednesday (May 31) as the country’s president wanted to receive a “clear“ decision on its future in the NATO military alliance. Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskiy made the remark at a summit of over 40 European leaders in Moldova, one month before the bloc’s leaders will meet in Vilnius in July. More than 600 km (375 miles) east from the summit, the Ukrainian army kept fighting Russian troops with artillery systems supplied by Czechia and France. “We’re always ready to attack. We are waiting for the orders, and the moment the order comes in, we’ll attack.“ He added that his soldiers had hit an “enemy stronghold.“ In another undisclosed location in Donetsk region, a battery commander going by the nickname Citroen said Ukraine could never have too many western-supplied shells. “We have enough shells to carry out our tasks. But if someone wants to give us more, we would welcome this. We can’t have too many shells.“ Ukraine has proposed a peace summit this summer to cement its vision of peace as the only way to end Russia’s war. It has not said where the event would take place. Zelenskiy, whose 10-point peace “formula“ entails the full withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, also called for a coalition of powers to supply Patriot air defence systems and fighter jets to Ukraine to help fend off Russian forces.
