commander

Ukraine has deployed special forces to the eastern city of Pokrovsk, where it is under pressure from an intense Russian assault involving thousands of troops, Kyiv's top commander said Saturday.

These give the commander in chief wide latitude over war powers, and both Democratic and Republican presidents have been happy to retain that power.

In the text messages, firefighters complained that commanders failed to make certain that the mop-up was finished.

The fire initially required 30 firefighters but once the incident commander saw the robot’s capabilities, he released more than half in response, freeing crews for other emergencies.

The commander in chief of Ukraine's armed forces has warned Russian activity is increasing around the key frontline town of Pokrovsk, saying "the situation is difficult".
