Copied and pasted from the Greek website: WAR NEWS 24/7:
V. Zelensky recently admitted in his statements the surrender of 264 Azov fighters and "paved the way" for the total surrender of the Order to Azovstal
At the same time, he fired the commander of the Land Defense Forces, Galushkin, for the defeats in Donbas and replaced him with Tantsyura.
The reason is the multiple defeats in Donbas that have prepared the ground for the loss of the entire area. Members of many Ground Defense Battalions refuse to fight and accuse the leadership of treason.
"We are in complete hell"
A volunteer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine turned to Volodymyr Zelensky on his knees and said to the camera:
"We are in complete hell right now. "Do not let it happen like in Mariupol, or like in the Ilovaisk cauldron" , he begs, remembering one of the most defeats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2014.
"We will not be enough for a long time, our air force and artillery are not working, our command has been fired, we do not have ammunition.
"They hit us with Grad and mortars for days and today they started beating us with BM-27 Uragan, we have very big losses" , the Ukrainian soldier describes the situation.
"It seems that the finale of these people will be the same as the finale of 'Azov' - a lot of camera noise and no real attempt at salvation," Russian sources said.
Zelensky fires head of Territorial Defense Forces
At the same time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky replaced the head of the Territorial Defense Forces almost three months after the start of the war with Russia.
The cause is the collapse of the Donbass front.
Ukraine's Defense Ministry said today that Zelensky had appointed Lt. Gen. Ihor Tancyura to succeed Yuri Haluskin as commander of the Ground Forces.
The ministry said Tantsiura was an experienced officer who had previously served as chief of staff of Ukraine's ground forces.
He said the Territorial Defense Forces had grown rapidly since their inception shortly before the invasion and were playing a key role in the conflict with Russia.
"The explosive enlargement of the structure, especially in situations of intense battle, is a huge experience, (with) mistakes and achievements. "There are successes and, unfortunately, losses, " the ministry said in a statement.
"White flag" from Azofstal
At the same time, the evacuation operation from the Azofstal steel plant continues. As the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense confirmed, the evacuation from the facility is progressing as more than 260 soldiers have been evacuated from the area.
Among the troops evacuated from Azovstal, the 53 seriously wounded were taken to the Russian-controlled town of Novoazovsk in the Donbas region.
Another 211 were evacuated via humanitarian corridors and taken to the town of Olenivka, which also belongs to the Donbas district.
The Ukrainian president sent a message about the evacuation operation.

The night in the city of Lviv on the Polish-Ukrainian border was a nightmare as Russia launched the heaviest missile strike since the start of the war in the country.
According to Ukrainian media reports, eight to ten rockets were fired, with the mayor confirming the attack. Civil defense sirens sounded in the city and residents ran to the shelters.
Russia has launched Kalibr cruise missiles and it is very likely that strategic bombers were involved in the raids.
The extent and intensity of the rocket strike in Lviv is impressive. Either Moscow wanted to send a message to Poland or arms convoys were found.
