From Ukrainian soldiers in Toretsk:
The situation in Toretsk is not pleasant, I try to move forward through narrow corridors to the central part of the city. All this is specific to fighting in the city: today this house is gray, in a few hours there may already be gunmen there, and you don't even know about it. In general, the city is a mess and it is difficult to define a clear frontline.
DRGs are constantly climbing, they can set up ambushes and mine the paths, so everyone who plans to ride in Toretsk should clarify the information about the reliability of the paths for movement.

If convicted, he faces up to life in prison.
The West is increasing pressure on Kyiv, seeking to start negotiations with the Russian Federation, — El Pais
The publication emphasizes that the position of the allies regarding the need for a dialogue with the Russian Federation becomes obvious due to the "lesser" support of Zelenskyi during his visit to the USA. The West is also concerned about the deterioration of the situation at the front.
"The offensive of the Russian Federation in the direction of Donetsk has been going on continuously since the summer, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot yet change the course of events. An additional factor is the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran, which diverts the West's attention to the Middle East," the publication notes.
El Pais also mentions Donald Trump, who "humiliated Zelensky" during election rallies. The newspaper suggests that Trump's election victory may significantly affect the US foreign policy towards Ukraine.
This is a delusion: the OP reacted to the article about supposed guarantees for Ukraine in exchange for territories captured by the Russian Federation
"There is no such conversation at all. No one in the West has officially and clearly offered such security guarantees to Ukraine, which would definitely prevent the expansion or repetition of the war," the source said.
Ukraine does not trade sovereignty and territories.
In essence, the S-70 “Okhotnik” (Hunter) is an attempt to copy the American X-47B.
Moreover, the Americans also produced only two X-47B units, after which they recognized it as a failure and in 2017 the project was closed. The developments of the X-47B were subsequently used in the development of the MQ-25 Stingray unmanned refueling aircraft, the only prototype of which was produced in 2019.
That is, the Americans realized that this type of UAV is unpromising in the modern realities of combat - the concept itself is unsuccessful: it is too big, too noticeable, and most importantly, too expensive.
But Russia still copied it and launched it. Someone sawed up the budget well.
P.S. The Chinese GJ-11 Sharp Sword is also a copy of the American X-47B.

Ukraine can be accepted into NATO with the occupied territories, — Stoltenberg
"When there is a will, there are ways to find a solution. But a border is needed that defines where Article 5 applies, and Ukraine must control the entire territory up to that border."
He added that after the elections in the USA there may be an impetus to end the war in Ukraine.
