KYIV (Reuters) - Ukraine's army chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Friday he would strengthen troops deployed on the eastern front with reserves, ammunition and equipment after he visited two key Ukrainian-held sites in the Donetsk region.
Russian forces are advancing in the Donetsk region at the fastest rate since the early days of the 2022 invasion, and the defence ministry in Moscow on Friday claimed control of two new settlements there.
