Zelensky visits Ukraine front as Moscow claims fresh gains

New Indian Express  

KYIV: Russia said on Monday its forces had captured the village of Vovche in eastern Ukraine, the latest in a string of frontline advances Moscow has claimed in recent weeks. The announcement came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited special forces in the border region of Kharkiv, where Moscow's forces launched a surprise ground offensive in May but failed to make any major breakthrough. Now grinding through a third year of fighting, neither Kyiv nor Moscow has managed to swing the conflict decisively in their favour, even though Moscow's forces have gained ground in recent months. Ukraine's head of the Donetsk region Vadym Filashkin said Russian forces had killed three people and wounded three more on Monday in the town of Toretsk, which is under Kyiv's control.
