Tank assault 'repelled' in Donetsk by Ukrainian brigade & saboteurs use 'Molotov cocktail' to torch Russian fighter jet

Day 1,251.

Today, as Russia continues its mechanised push in the Donetsk region, we continue reporting on the corruption bill that has shaken Ukraine, as some MPs fear ‘revenge’ if they were to reinstate anti-corruption agencies. Meanwhile, Russia cancels its annual Navy Day parade for security reasons, Russian tourists continue flocking to Europe for their holidays, and we hear Ukraine’s ambassador to Australia and New Zealand.
