Russia said its forces in eastern Ukraine had edged forward, Kyiv said Moscow was "planning something" in the south and NATO sought on Wednesday to shore up other countries that fear destabilisation from Moscow.
Ukraine's General Staff said earlier that its troops had repelled six Russian attacks in 24 hours in the eastern Donbas region, while Russian artillery had relentlessly shelled across the Dnipro River, including at Kherson city, in the south.
