President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine needed modern anti-missile weapons now, adding there could be no justification for partner countries to delay delivery.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday said defending the Donbas was"vital" as the outcome of the battle for the eastern region would indicate the course of the war.
Ukraine said its forces were still trying to evacuate civilians from Severodonetsk after Russia destroyed the last bridge to the city, the latest stage in a weeks-long battle in the Donbas region that Moscow seeks to capture."The fiercest battles, as before, are in Severodonetsk and other nearby towns and communities. The losses, unfortunately, are painful," said Mr Zelenskyy."But we have to hold strong - holding strong is so critically important in Donbas.
Luhansk regional governor Serhiy Gaidai said shelling on Azot was so powerful that "people can no longer stand it in the shelters, their psychological state is on the edge."
