Ukrainian forces were maintaining their positions on the front line in eastern Ukraine despite considerable pressure from constant Russian attacks, said Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“It is very important that despite great pressure on our forces, the front line has undergone no change,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address.
Zelensky said Russian forces were suffering “staggering losses” in constant attacks in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the main focus of the fighting.
