Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine has begun what he calls a historic week. With fighting raging on in the Donbas, the Ukrainian President has predicted that Russia will likely intensify its attacks in the coming days. His warning comes as Kyiv awaits a landmark decision from European unx leaders on its bid for candidate status.

泽连斯基表示,乌克兰开始了他所谓的历史性的一周。随着顿巴斯战斗的激烈进行,乌克兰总统预计俄罗斯可能会在未来几天加强袭击。他发出这一警告之际,基辅正在等待欧盟领导人就其争取候选者身份做出具有里程碑意义的决定。

Top Ukrainian officials say they need a massive increase of military hardware if they are to drive Russian forces out of their country. Right now western allies have supplied Ukraine with just over 100 howitzers - only one tenth of what Ukraine says it needs.

乌克兰高级官员表示,如果要将俄罗斯军队赶出乌克兰,他们需要大量增加军事装备。目前,西方盟国只向乌克兰提供了100多门榴弹炮——这只是乌克兰所说的需求量的十分之一。

And no rocket launchers have arrived, even though Ukraine has asked for 300 of them. DW’s Nick Connolly reports from the frontlines in the southern Mykolaiv region, where Ukrainian forces are making some advances despite a shortage of equipment.

尽管乌克兰要求得到300台火箭发射器,但没有一台运到。DW记者尼克·康诺利在南部麦可莱夫地区的前线报道,尽管装备短缺,乌克兰军队仍取得了一些进展。
