Ukraine war briefing: Chasiv Yar is Russians’ next big objective, says Oleksandr Syrskyi, link
Capture would give Russians a high-ground advantage for further advance through Donetsk region. What we know on day 782Russian forces aim to capture the town of Chasiv Yar by 9 May, Ukraine’s commander in chief, Col Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi, has said. It is the date Russia marks as the Soviet victory in the second world war. Syrskyi said Russia was focusing its efforts there before moving towards the city of Kramatorsk. Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region lies 5-10km (3-6 miles) from Bakhmut, captured by Russian forces in May 2023.Rob Lee, a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, a thinktank in Philadelphia, said on X that Chasiv Yar would likely prove an important battle. “Chasiv Yar is located on defensible high ground. If Russia takes the [town], they could potentially increase the rate of advance deeper into Donetsk [region] as part of an expected summer offensive. Russian forces will still have to cross the canal to take the [town], but they have now reached the canal south-east of the [town]. Immediate increased deliveries of ammunition could prove critical.”Fragments from a downed Russia missile fell on a settlement outside the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Sunday, injuring 12 people, said the regional governor. Serhiy Lysak said the debris fell on a settlement known as Liubymivska Community. A child was among those injured, and more than 30 private homes suffered damage.Lysak said Russian forces used artillery in 11 attacks on the town of Nikopol, a frequent target opposite the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. He said four people had been injured.In Donetsk region, the focal point of Russia’s slow advance through eastern Ukraine, the governor, Vadym Filashkin, said an aerial bomb struck a five-storey apartment block in the town of Ocheretyne, killing one and injuring two.Three people were reported killed in the region on Saturday. Reuters could not independently verify battlefield accounts.Volodymyr Zelenskiy told Ukrainians in his nightly address on Sunday: “The situation at the front during such a hot war is always difficult. But these days – and especially on the Donetsk front – it’s getting harder.” Ukraine’s president has warned that Russia may be preparing to launch a big offensive in late spring or summer.Zelenskiy condemned Iran’s drone and missile attack on Israel and said Ukraine needed help from its allies to fend off threats from the air, just as Israel did. Zelenskiy again called on the US Congress to approve further aid.European energy prices will rise dramatically if the Russian destruction of Ukrainian energy infrastructure continues unabated, Andriy Kobolyev, a former head of Ukraine’s Naftogaz, has told the Guardian. “Russia is trying to wage a global energy war and Ukraine is part of that war and if the markets perceive that Russia is winning that war … you will see a spike in prices all round the globe.”Last week a massive missile and drone attack destroyed one of Ukraine’s largest power plants and damaged others. Kobolyev told the Guardian’s diplomatic editor, Patrick Wintour: “The solutions are twofold. First, there should be immediate supply of air defence components and munitions to protect the system. Secondly, we need to develop a new distributed and protected generation system around the country, that should replace the destroyed balancing generation.” Continue reading…

Liverpool suffer huge blow to title hopes after Eberechi Eze gives Palace win, link
The immediate reaction to the final whistle painted the picture of a truly damaging week for Liverpool. Jürgen Klopp hugged a victorious Crystal Palace manager, Oliver Glasner, before puffing out his cheeks and shaking his head. Andy Robertson sank to his haunches and stared into the middle distance disconsolately. Liverpool fans filed out without a sound. Their team has faltered badly in the title race.Soundly beaten in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals by Atalanta on Thursday, Liverpool succumbed again on home soil as Eberechi Eze’s early goal gave Palace a deserved victory and huge lift in their bid to pull clear of relegation trouble. They may just have holed Liverpool’s Premier League title prospects in the process. Klopp’s team have lost two successive home games for the first time since the Covid season of 2020-21 and only have themselves to blame after another lacklustre display. An improved second-half display came too late. Continue reading…

Middle East crisis live: UN secretary general calls for de-escalation after Iran attack on Israel, link
António Guterres says ‘the Middle East is on the brink’ and the region is ‘confronting a real danger of a devastating full-scale conflict’Full report: Iran warns it will strike again if Israel or US retaliateWhat we know so farUnited Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has called on members not to further escalate tensions with reprisals against Iran.Guterres was speaking to a meeting of the UN security council called in the wake of Iran’s attack on Israel, Reuters reports.The Middle East is on the brink. The people of the region are confronting a real danger of a devastating full-scale conflict. Now is the time to defuse and de-escalate.The Israel Defense Forces announced that it intercepted a UAV that approached Israel earlier this evening. In a post on X, the IDF wrote: “A Sa’ar 6-class corvette successfully intercepted a UAV that approached Israeli territory from the south-east using the ‘C-Dome’ Defense System earlier this evening.”UN chief António Guterres called for maximum restraint on Sunday following Iran’s retaliatory attacks on Israel, Reuters reports. In a UN security council meeting, Guterres said: “The Middle East is on the brink. The people of the region are confronting a real danger of a devastating full-scale conflict. Now is the time to defuse and de-escalate.”Jordan’s prime minister Bisher Khasawneh said that escalation in the region would lead to “dangerous paths,” Reuters reports. Speaking to the Jordanian cabinet, Khasawneh said. “The army will respond to anything that will jeopardise the security and safety of the kingdom and the sanctity of its airspace and territory in the face of any danger from any party with all the available means.”The G7 has released the following statement on Iran’s retaliatory attacks on Israel: “We, the leaders of the G7, unequivocally condemn in the strongest terms Iran’s direct and unprecedented attack against Israel … We express our full solidarity and support to Israel and its people and reaffirm our commitment towards its security.”Jordan has summoned the Iranian ambassador to protest against Iran’s comments which were regarded by Jordan as an interference in the kingdom’s internal affairs, Reuters reports. Speaking to Jordan’s state-owned Mamlaka news outlet, Safadi referred to comments made by Iranian official media which warned that Jordan would be the next target in the event it cooperated with Israel in a showdown with Iran.A senior Joe Biden administration official has told reporters on Sunday: “We are committed to defending Israel. We would not be a part of any response they do. This is a very consistent policy.” “Our aim is to de-escalate regional tensions. We do not want a broader regional conflict. Our focus has been to contain this crisis,” the official added.Iran’s action against Israel was a “legitimate act of self-defence,” Syria’s foreign minister Faisal Mekdad told his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian in a phone call on Sunday. Syrian state media SANA further reports: “It is a legitimate right to self-defence against this racist Zionist entity, which does not respect international law and will, nor the Charter of the United Nations.”US air carrier United Airlines has cancelled Sunday’s planned flight from Newark, New Jersey, to Tel Aviv after rising regional tensions, Reuters reports.
