FRANCE 24 is joined by Dr. Sergej Sumlenny, #Ukraine expert and former Director of the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Kyiv. He highlights three major developments in the war: #Russia's offensive spanning between Kharkiv and the neighboring #Donbas region, the "humanitarian catastrophe" in Mariupol in what's being labeled a "genocide," and Russia's attempt to "destabilize" #Transnistria. As Russia's invasion of Ukraine rapidly evolves into a war of attrition, Dr. Sergej Sumlenny asserts that "Ukraine is fighting for every single nation in #Europe, and we must not make any illusions." He describes the Russian assault as an onslaught of "terror on a scale unseen since World War II."
