Day 708
Articles and Reporting
Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief General Zaluzhnyi published an essay analyzing the current state of the war in Ukraine and detailing the technologies and tactics he believes the military will need to achieve success. This appears to be an effort to emphasize his vision of the way forward, either to forestall his dismissal, provide advice to whoever replaces him, or clear the record for posterity.

War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity
Russian forces in Ukraine have committed and continue to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity in the occupied regions of Ukraine, in violation of international law and basic human decency. Russian crimes in Ukraine constitute genocide and ethnic cleansing, with Russia’s stated war aims including the elimination of Ukrainians as a separate country, language, culture, and people.
No especially notable atrocities reported today.
