Every day, the number of graves in the park next to the Calvary cemetery in Uzhhorod, western Ukraine, grows. In the past two-and-a-half years, this place has become the memorial site for the fallen fighters of Transcarpathia. As many as 70,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died since Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, according to US estimates. In the first days of the war, ethnic Hungarian men from Transcarpathia fled to Hungary to escape military drafts, but some did not want to leave their lives behind. Two Hungarian-Ukrainian men hiding in western Ukraine spoke to Euronews on condition of anony...

A Hungarian government decree amending rules on support for refugees fleeing war in Ukraine means thousands face being turfed out of emergency accommodation – and evictions have already begun, according to human rights advocates. Under the decree issued in June, as of today (21 August) only refugees from parts of Ukraine deemed to be affected by conflict are now eligible for free housing from the Hungarian state. There are currently 13 regions on the list, none of them in the westernmost part of the country. This leaves several thousand Ukrainian citizens, notably from the western Transcarpath...

We are preparing reinforcement, defense in the Pokrovsk and Toretsk directions. The situation is difficult, but our guys are doing everything to eliminate the occupier." Earlier, he had emphasised that if Ukraine's partners lifted the restrictions on the use of long-range weapons, Ukraine "would not need to physically enter particularly the Kursk region to protect our Ukrainian citizens in the border communities and eliminate Russia’s pot...

The Russians and the Ukrainians seem to be fighting in two parallel dimensions: both contending armies claim military success in two different regions. While the Ukrainian incursion in the western Russian territory of Kursk seems to be steadily gaining ground, the Russians are close to achieving a goal of their own in the Donbas after they took the town of Niu-York and advance on a key transport junction of Pokrovsk. In the Kursk area, the Ukrainian forces are trying to seize Korenovo. The fall of this city would allow them to strengthen their defences in Russian territory and build a coherent...

Ukraine controls over 1,250 square kilometres of Russia's territory, including 92 settlements, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at a meeting on Monday with heads of the country's foreign diplomatic mission.

Ukraine's forces have destroyed the final bridge over the Seym river located in the village of Karyzh in Russia's Kursk region, according to Russian officials. The bridge is the third one destroyed, after Kyiv damaged the first bridge 16 kilometres northwest of the main battle zone in Kursk in late August, and the second in Zvannoe on Sunday. The bridge was the last major crossing in the region, and its destruction means that Russian forces will struggle to get supplies and reinforcements into an area of about 700 square kilometres. Russian units on the southern side of the river will now be d...

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said the military incursion into Russia's Kursk region aims to create a buffer zone to prevent further attacks by Moscow across the border. It was the first time Zelenskyy clearly stated the aim of the operation, which was launched on August 6. "Today, we achieved good and much-needed results in destroying Russian equipment near Toretsk. And all this is more than just defence for Ukraine, it is now our primary task in defensive operations overall - to destroy as much Russian war potential as possible and conduct maximum counteroffensive actions," Zel...
