Russia is pulling its forces from the outskirts of Kyiv and shifting focus to Ukraine’s east. Analysts say the move represents a new phase of the war and that it’s an admission by Russia that it won’t achieve its original goals of seizing the capital and installing a friendly government. As Russian troops pulled out of the city of Bucha on the northwest outskirts of Kyiv, Ukrainian troops found civilian bodies on the streets. Reports this morning say 410 bodies have been found in towns near Kyiv, and local investigators are collecting evidence for future war crimes prosecutions against Russia. Russia’s new strategy to take the Donbas region Ukraine’s east is making a bleak situation even worse in the city of Mariupol. And just to double-back on an issue from last week: Australia will supply Ukraine with the Bushmaster armoured vehicles requested by President Volodymyr Zelensky in his address to MPs and senators last week.
