The overnight missile barrage targeted fuel depots, warehouses and other infrastructure, according to Russia’s Defense Ministry. David Guttenfelder for The New York Times President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said, “A very significant part of the Russian army is now concentrated for that offensive,” adding, “No matter how many servicemen get thrown there, we will fight, we will defend ourselves.”Īlexandre Bulatov, 49, digging a grave Monday at the civilian section of a cemetery in the Kyiv suburb of Irpin, Ukraine.
The secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, Oleksiy Danilov, said on national television that the Russian ground assault, which had been anticipated for weeks, stretched along nearly the entire front line, from the northern Kharkiv region south to the besieged port of Mariupol. The Lviv attack followed 300 missile and artillery strikes that Russia claimed to have carried out, mainly in the east, in what appeared to be a campaign to terrorize the population and intimidate Ukraine’s military before the new ground offensive had begun in the part of the country known as the Donbas.

Many people have speculated that Latch has some sort of mechanical parts under his hat, but it has been confirmed to be just scales. Latch's mechanical tail is part of Team Reptile's logo. By inputting only Down, Latch will use Air Down in the air and Ground Down on the ground, and by inputting Forward + Down, Latch will spit it downward at his Latchflip angle, which is a different, shallow angle. When Latch spits the ball out at an angle, he can choose Up, Forward, Air/Ground Down, and his "Latchflip" angle in the direction he is facing. Latch can bunt out of special at any time, allowing him to mix up his opponent. Latch will keep the ball in his mouth until the ball's original hitpause is used up, at which point he spits it back out. Upon activating special, Latch scoops the ball into his mouth. This gives him a new downward neutral angle and also changes his hitboxes slightly. Unlike Switch, Latch can swing from the wall without giving up his position. Latch can wall-climb by maintaining a jump input upon impacting a wall, and must be held to stay on the wall. His personality is calculated, his movement is raw. He is in possession of tremendous physical as well as mental strength. Enhancements to his spine and brain allow him to function in human society. Latch is a crocodile outfitted with a mechanical tail. Though success is definitely possible with this character, his playstyle is not at all straightforward, and you will need a good understanding of nearly everything in the game in order to make up for his low offensive and interceptive potential. Nonetheless, you will most likely have a hard time killing with him, often having to rely on baits or offensive reads in order to punish your opponents. As for his special, it’s very basic, but does give you some time to move around and find a better spot, if necessary. His fastfall is yet another great tool to trip up your opponent and create some distance. The wall is also a great place to fall back on if you need to defend. Furthermore, his wall tech is unparalleled, allowing for a great way to keep the ball at arm’s length, as well as punish steal attempts. His angles are very wide, which allows him to have long range control, rather than having to rely on very tight ball control. He is quite good when it comes to ball hogging, especially when you use his special to recover in a pinch. However, he does have a few good qualities. It can be very hard to kill with latch, as his angles aren’t very threatening. There is no reason to pretend that Latch doesn’t have flaws, because he does.
