Ukraine battles Russian push in east as Kyiv allies pledge $1 billion in aid

KOSTIANTYNIVKA, 14 December 2022, (TON): Russia and Ukraine pounded each other’s forces in heavy fighting in the eastern region of Donetsk as Kyiv’s allies meeting in Paris pledged just over 1 billion euros to help Ukrainians survive the freezing winter.

Russian forces are battling to take control of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, two of four territories the Kremlin claims to have annexed in votes rejected by most countries as illegal.

Moscow is also attacking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure with waves of missile and drone strikes, at times cutting off electricity for millions of civilians enduring Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War Two.
