Ukrainian officials have pointed at the mounting losses to emphasize their urgent requests for more Western weapons, which have been critical to the country\u2019s unexpected success in holding off Russia\u2019s larger and better-equipped forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"7504\" height=\"5003\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22158694991536.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22158694991536.jpg.jpg 7504w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22158694991536.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22158694991536.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22158694991536.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22158694991536.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22158694991536.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 7504px) 100vw, 7504px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An injured Ukrainian servicemen is transferred to a medical facility after getting an emergency medical treatment in the  Donetsk region, eastern Ukraine, Tuesday, June 7, 2022. (AP Photo\/Bernat Armangue)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a bungled attempt to overrun Kyiv, Ukraine\u2019s capital, in the early days of the war, Russia shifted its focus to an eastern region of coal mines and factories known as the Donbas. But its progress there has been plodding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Podolyak said the delivery of state-of-the-art artillery systems would not only diminish Ukrainian casualties, it would help its the nation\u2019s forces reclaim seized territory. The Ukrainian government also is seeking more multiple-rocket launchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s something really important&#8230;that our partners need to understand, and that\u2019s until Russia suffers a serious military defeat, no form of dialogue will be possible, and they will continue to be able to try and take parts of our country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Podolyak also addressed Western fears that Ukraine\u2019s forces would use Western-supplied rocket launchers to strike targets inside Russia and potentially escalate the conflict to a wider conflagration: \u201cIt won\u2019t happen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Street battles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fighting in the Donbas has ground on for more than two months, and the slog continued Friday. A provincial governor said Russian and Ukrainian forces battled \u201cfor every house and every street\u201d in Sievierodonetsk, a city that recently has been under steady attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sievierodonetsk is in the last pocket of Luhansk province that has not yet been claimed by Russia or Moscow-backed separatists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai told The Associated Press that Ukrainian forces retain control of the industrial zone on the edge of the city and some other sections amid the painstaking block-by-block fighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An envoy for the Luhansk People\u2019s Republic, a self-proclaimed separatist territory, reported Friday that some Ukrainian troops were trapped inside a chemical plant on the city\u2019s outskirts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll escape routes have been cut off,\u201d Rodion Miroshnik, Moscow ambassador for the unrecognized republic, wrote on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3000\" height=\"2000\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1241154697.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54164\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1241154697.jpg.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1241154697.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1241154697.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1241154697.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1241154697.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1241154697.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3000px) 100vw, 3000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ukrainian troops fire with surface-to-surface rockets towards Russian positions at a front line in the eastern Ukrainian region of Donbas on June 7, 2022.

Only the laying down of arms and surrender,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Miroshnik echoed earlier claims by a Russian defense official that civilians remained on the plant\u2019s grounds. But he stopped short of reiterating allegations that Ukrainian forces were barring them from leaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of Friday afternoon, there was no response from the Ukrainian side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018Sham\u2019 trial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The British government said Russia must take responsibility for the \u201csham trial\u201d of two Britons and a Moroccan who were sentenced to death for fighting against Russian forces in Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Britons Aiden Aslin and Shaun Pinner and Moroccan Brahim Saadoun&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-moscow-business-blockades-74883ed750fb8778259cf733e1095fb8\">were convicted by a court<\/a>&nbsp;run by pro-Moscow separatist authorities in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People\u2019s Republic, which is not recognized internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Separatist authorities argued that the men were \u201cmercenaries\u201d not entitled to the usual protections accorded prisoners of war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aslin\u2019s and Pinner\u2019s families have said the two men were long-serving members of the Ukrainian military. Saadoun\u2019s father told a Moroccan online newspaper that his son is not a mercenary and holds Ukrainian citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">British government minister Robin Walker said Friday that it was \u201can illegal court in a sham government\u201d but that the U.K. would use \u201call diplomatic channels to make the case that these are prisoners of war who should be treated accordingly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss is due to speak to her Ukrainian counterpart, Dmytro Kuleba, later Friday about the case. The U.K. has not announced any plans to speak to Russian officials. It does not recognize the self-proclaimed Donetsk republic and will not officially contact the authorities there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the ministry has so far not received any specific appeals about the men from Britain and as such, \u201cwe can make an unambiguous conclusion that until now the fate of these citizens was not of interest to London.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Karmanau contributed from Lviv, Ukraine.
