Zelenskyy says situation in Ukraine’s east ‘getting tougher’

Al Jazeera  

Ukrainian leader says Russia is throwing more and more troops into battles on the eastern front lines. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that the situation on the eastern front line was getting tougher, with Russia throwing more and more troops into battle to break down Ukrainian defences. Zelenskyy’s comments on Saturday came as shelling continued in the eastern Donetsk region while an accident at a power plant in the southern region of Odesa left nearly 500,000 homes without electricity. “But thanks to the resilience of our soldiers, they did not succeed.” Ukraine’s border guard service reported that its soldiers killed four and wounded seven opposing forces as they fought off the latest attack. “We managed to return the bodies of the dead foreign volunteers,” said Zelenskyy’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, naming them as the two British men.
