Ukraine says its military is putting up fierce resistance to Russian forces trying to advance through the eastern Donbas region, inflicting significant losses on Moscow's armies. The head of the Luhansk region military administration, Serhiy Hayday, says Ukrainian fighters are putting up stiff resistance. “We restrain the enemy on the border of Luhansk region and Donetsk region — the occupiers are suffering significant losses, as they themselves admit,” Hayday said. “Every day, the Russians receive an order to advance further, but they do not always carry it out, because the losses in personnel are very significant. “During the assault of Lysychansk alone, the enemy lost thousands of dead and wounded. Yes, they have more forces and means, but the Ukrainian army is better prepared and motivated.” The Russian Ministry of Defense does not regularly report the number of dead and injured among its forces and CNN could not independently verify Hayday’s claims about Russian casualties.

  It's becoming the MAGA midterms -- with or without  former President Donald Trump . Sixteen months after leaving office, he's unquestionably still  the figurehead of the red-hatted "Make America Great Again" brigades , but talented messengers running in this year's midterm elections have sometimes been more effective in articulating that brand and where it is headed. Trump is now facing a fresh test: not only whether he can vault  his endorsed primary candidates  to victory, but also whether he can maintain control of the movement he started as some candidates he spurned are claiming the MAGA label anyway and as his loyalists reject his chosen candidates. The former President is sprinkling primary endorsements like springtime blossoms as he seeks to prove his power before a possible 2024 White House race. Rival Republican candidates are feuding over who truly epitomizes the "America First" mantle regardless of who the former President has backed. And P...
