Zelenskiy says Russian attacks are increasing around Donetsk, Kupiansk and AvdiivkaUkraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has said Russia is increasing its attacks across the frontline, AFP reports.
Neither side has made any significant territorial gain for months, but both Zelenskiy and the Kremlin have denied the conflict has ground to a stalemate.
“The military reported an increase in the number of enemy assaults,” Zelenskiy wrote on Telegram on Tuesday, saying Russian forces were attacking around Donetsk, Kupiansk and Avdiivka.
“The enemy continues to take revenge on the free Kherson, shelling the city centre without any military necessity,” he added.
Zelenskiy has said Russia is likely to increase airstrikes against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure before winter, as it did last year.
