According to the paper, this aligns with the strategy that the US is reportedly selling to Ukraine, with Joe Biden’s administration said to be pushing Kyiv to focus on holding its territory, entrenching positions and beefing up supplies and forces over the coming months. It came as a local official claimed a Russian oil tank near Ukraine’s northern border caught fire, after the military brought down a Ukrainian drone trying to attack targets in the Bryansk town. Russian news outlet Tass claimed the fire had spread to 1,000 square metres, with four fuel tanks burning.
