Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday that Kyiv's forces had repelled a new Russian onslaught on the eastern town of Avdiivka and were holding their ground in heavy fighting.
Zelensky and top military commanders visited the southern region of Kherson, where they discussed the situation there and around Avdiivka and Kupiansk, a town north of Avdiivka where Russian forces have also intensified attacks.
