After more than 50 days, the war in Ukraine has come to a standstill. The Russian army, after withdrawing from the Kyiv region, is reorganizing to attack in the east of the country, where clashes with the Ukrainian army continue, but without the bulk of the Russian forces having yet been deployed. In the Kyiv region, Ukrainian security forces continue to work to regain full control of the areas previously occupied by the Russians, who have started hitting the area again with longrange missiles in recent days. In Mariupol, clashes between the Russian army and the last remaining Ukrainian soldiers in the city, located in the area of the huge Azovstal Steel Plant, continue: for days it seems only a matter of time before Russia fully conquers the city.
