Hi, what are you looking for?
Ukrainian President Zelensky says his country's forces are involved in "very difficult battles", including in the eastern Donbas region.
Ukraine's army has little option but to try to stall their larger and better-equipped enemy in the sprawling plains of Donbas.
Stiff resistance from Ukrainian troops and caution after Russia's failure to capture Kyiv has led to "slow and uneven progress" in Donbas.
Russia says its forces have carried out dozens of air strikes in eastern Ukraine as part of a major offensive in the Donbas region.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of wanting to "destroy" the entire eastern region of Donbas.
While Russia appears to have abandoned for now its aim of pushing deep into the heart Ukraine.
Russian forces are reinforcing around the Donbas, notably near the town of Izyum, but have not yet launched an offensive to seize control.
Ukrainian forces are dug in around the village of Krasnopillia in the Donbas as they brace for an anticipated Russian offensive.
The situation in the Ukrainian controlled eastern region of Donbas is "tense", a regional governor said Monday.
Russia's refocusing of its military efforts on the Donbas could herald a "longer, more prolonged conflict" as Ukrainian forces put up fierce resistance.
