Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily powered by Turning Point USA today's top stories. The war in Ukraine, we're on day 26. We've got a full on the ground update for you next up for US Marines died in Norway during a NATO drill. Explain that.

Third, the UK says that COVID deaths may have been overcounted and Twitter is censoring the article and then finally alwevo's capture a milestone in the cartel war. We'll dig into it all this more ahead, Human Events Daily.

Now is the time for meaningful talks that was the message from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to Moscow on Saturday as he called on Russia to stop its invasion. This is the only chance for Russia to reduce harm from its mistakes. He said adding that it would offer a good deal of support for Ukraine.

Adding that it would otherwise take Russia several generations to recover from the war.

All right, so we now enter day 26. The war in Ukraine, we've got a new assessment out just last night from the French Ministry of Defense. Let's dig into it.

Strong pressure on urban centers on the eastern south is maintained by intense bombardments in particularly in Mariopoul and Mika live.

In addition, the city of Mariopoul whose first defenses have been breached, Iseum is under strong pressure elsewhere the tactical situation remains fixed. On Northern Front, Kiev, the encirclement maneuver from the west and east of the capital continues. On the eastern front, Harkop, the Russian forces continue their maneuver to encircle the city in parallel with numerous bombardments.

In particular, the south and the area of Isium, remember that city of Isium, I've explained again and again, is such an important point to this because that would be the breakout point for those Ukrainian forces that are at risk of envelopment in the east.

If Russia is able to take that strategic city of Isium, cut off that highway from north and south, then they will effectively have encircled in what they call the southern cauldron, the Ukrainian forces that are there in the east that have originally been maintained along the line with the region.

Next, Denebro again, Denebro is just passed this to the west on the Denebro River itself. We're seeing now a probable convergence point of Russian forces in the south and east, which continue to regenerate in preparation for maneuvering into that city of Depeiro-no itself.

The fighting is now taking place near the city center itself, and Russian strikes remain intense as the health situation of the inhabitants and the combatants continues to deteriorate.

Now, on the southern front, slow but steady advance of Russian forces towards the towns of Zapraszizia and Krivyri is very significant because that is again on the western bank of the Denebro River.

This is an area where we haven't seen the Russians too active, now they're beginning to advance along that western half of the country as well.

Finally, Mikhaili of the bombardments and the fighting are extremely intense for control of the town and its surroundings.

Now, some information on the political side that came out over the weekend, President Zelensky has banned 11 opposition parties and has signed a new order under martial law to consolidate all Ukrainian television under one government approved media.

I think a lot of people here in the west are worried that, boy, Klaus Shoab would love to be able to do something like that here in the United States or across the west writ large.

He wants to shut down shows like this, they want to censor people like ourselves and others out in independent media across social media.

That's why you see the kind of censorship that's out there. We're going to talk about censorship in an upcoming segment about COVID and the overcounting of deaths or possible overcounting of deaths in the UK.

Ukrainian military forces are in dire straits. Now, Russia, it was reported over the weekend called for the combatants in Mariuple, just a render.

They said, we're going to institute a ceasefire, allow civilians to continue to flee the area and hopefully as many civilians as possible can get out of these areas where the fighting is in.
