Putin appears to hint at further invasions; Zelenskyy says Ukrainian forces holding on in the Donbas
Speaking at an event with young entrepreneurs in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared to ominously hint at further territorial expansion.

“It’s impossible — do you understand? — impossible to build a fence around a country like Russia. And we do not intend to build that fence,” Putin said, according to Sky News.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said the country’s troops are holding on in cities in the Donbas region. This refers to the Donetsk and Luhansk provinces in the easternmost part of Ukraine.

The U.K.’s Ministry of Defense says the Kremlin is struggling to provide basic services to Russian-occupied territories. The ministry has warned the ruined seaside city of Mariupol is at risk of a major cholera outbreak.
