Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky handed out medals to troops in southeastern Zaporizhzhia, the latest stage of his tour of frontline regions, as Kyiv’s forces seek to break the back of Russia‘s winter offensive before starting their own.
It was Mr Zelensky’s third visit to the front line in less than a week. The president also discussed nuclear safety with International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief, Rafael Grossi, who also travelled to the area, home to Europe’s biggest nuclear power plant. The plant has been occupied by Russian forces for the last year, with Kyiv having regularly raised concerns about its condition – although there is no immediate danger.
