Ukrainian separatists backed by Russia say they have “completely” encircled the key city of Lysychansk in the eastern Luhansk region. Russian forces have destroyed five Ukrainian army command posts in Donbas and Mykolaiv regions with high-precision weapons and also struck three storage sites in the Zaporizhia region, the defence ministry says. The mayor of Ukrainian city Mykolaiv warns residents to stay in shelters as powerful explosions rock the city. Leaders from dozens of countries and international organisations will gather on Monday and Tuesday in the Swiss city of Lugano to discuss rebuilding Ukraine, hoping to draw up a “Marshall Plan” for the country’s reconstruction despite the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. The plan would “absolutely” have to include an environmental component, said Virginijus Sinkevicius, the European Union commissioner for the environment. He spoke of the mass destruction of forests, land covered with mines and trenches, chemical pollution spread by munitions, and contaminated waterways and soil. “The [environmental] price tag every day is increasing, because we see the barbaric actions of the Russian side [are] not stopping,” he said in an interview with AFP. He added there was now a “unique opportunity” to create a “cleaner” Ukraine, but warned: “We can rebuild roads, we can rebuild the infrastructure, but for forests to grow, you need hundreds of years. So it will take time.”

Can anyone win? Experts explain Russia Ukraine war latest 2,142 views Jul 19, 2022 Russia and Ukraine are suffering devastating losses after months of bloody war. But the latest from Ukraine does share one striking similarity to the start of the conflict; both Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy are determined to win - so will either side claim a decisive victory?
Russian forces have seized key cities in the eastern Donbas region in recent weeks, outgunning Ukraine in an artillery slugfest.
But advanced Nato weapons like HIMARS, MLRS and drones are constantly arriving in Ukraine and early reports suggest they could play a significant role in the weeks to come, provided Nato can maintain the supply of hardware and ammo Ukraine needs.
Neither side is in the mood to back down.
Experts tell Paraic O'Brien what is happening on the ground in Ukraine and explore whether either side will win this war.
