Whatʼs happening in the Russia-Ukraine war: regular updates from trusted sources.

Бабель» Russia continues to escalate military and diplomatic aggression against Ukraine. It swiftly recognizes the so-called "Donetsk and Luhansk Peopleʼs Republics" and already sent its troops there, which is an official violation of Ukraineʼs sovereignty and territorial integrity. Joint field exercise with Belarus, supposed to end on February 20 was prolonged, and shootings from Russian-supported forces on Donbas, are the most intense in recent years. Ukrainian officials keep insisting that diplomacy is the only possible way of solving this military conflict. Ukrainian armed forces dispositions at Donbas are remaining the same as during last months, and weapons prohibited by Minsk agreements stay out of use. "Babel" is a Ukrainian digital media outlet based in Kyiv actively covering Russian-Ukrainian war updates and news. Babel editorial policy is grounded on the principles of validity and integrity, which means that our texts are based only on trusted sources, we publish news only when there are no doubts about their veracity. In recent weeks we have monitored multiple inaccuracies in how foreign media covers events in Ukraine ― even when it comes to the location of the borderline between the temporarily occupied territory and controlled territories of Ukraine.
