Euhene in Ocheretyne says he is ready to evacuated if the Russians come closer. The houses on either side of his have been hit by Russian shelling
Soldiers and civilians fear what comes next as Russia gains momentum in eastern Ukraine
OCHERETYNE, Ukraine — A T-64 tank sits hidden in a trench just outside of Chasiv Yar, surrounded by the cacophony of Russian forces trying to take Ivanivske, a tiny village on the outskirts of Bakhmut, eastern Ukraine.Yet its gun was not fired once during a 72-hour period, an hour of which CNN witnessed on a visit. The reason? A lack of the Soviet-era shells it uses. Instead, Ukrainian soldiers say they must sit and await an order to join the fight around them.The unit’s commander, Yaroslav, said he understood the war in Ukraine might feel “very far away” to Western politicians. “But this war is happening in my country. I don’t know ... imagine the war coming to your doorstep. Would you hesitate then? We need those weapons. The enemy is much stronger. Without their help we will...

Ukrainian investigators demand answers after Russian strike on Odesa kills 12
KYIV — Serhiy Haidarzhy is likely alive because his wife Anna fell asleep.Like every night, Anna was in the bedroom with their 4-month-old baby boy Tymofii, while Serhiy was putting their older daughter Liza to bed in her own room.“Usually, very often, I fall asleep in the room with Liza, then Anya wakes me and tells me to come to her,” he said at a memorial service on Sunday.“That night she fell asleep with Tymofii, and didn’t call me, and it so happened that the Lord took them to himself,” he added.Anna and Tymofii were killed in a Russian attack early on Saturday. A drone turned their apartment in Odesa, southern Ukraine, into a pile of concrete and bricks, with only the narrow room where Serhiy and Liza, who is just two-and-a-half-years-old, were sleeping remaining...

Villages tumble as Russia exposes Ukraine’s vulnerable defenses
KYIV — A series of swift Russian advances have challenged Ukraine’s new line of defense set up after their withdrawal from the key town of Avdiivka and are raising fears about Kyiv’s tactics and momentum on the front lines.Ukraine announced a withdrawal from Avdiivka on February 17 to a series of positions to the town’s west.

Swiss vote to give themselves a bigger pension
GENEVA — Swiss voters have given themselves an extra month's pension each year — in a nationwide referendum focusing on living standards for the elderly.The government had warned that the increased payments would be too expensive to afford.But almost 60% of voters said 'yes' in Sunday's poll. Separately, 75% rejected raising the pension age from 65 to 66.The maximum monthly state pension is €2,550 (£2,180; $2,760) — not enough, many say, to live on in Switzerland.The cost of living in Switzerland, particularly in cities such as Zurich and Geneva, is among the highest in the world.Health insurance premiums, which are obligatory for everyone, have been rising fast, and older people sometimes struggle to pay them.Women who may have had work breaks to raise a family,...
