Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday visited special forces in the Kharkiv region, where the military said it had repelled six Russian attacks over the past day. Zelensky’s visit comes as Moscow said its forces had captured Vovche, a settlement in the Donetsk region northwest of Avdiivka, and Progres and Yevgenivka, villages a few kilometres away from Vovche.
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.
