Russian forces claim incremental gains in eastern Ukraine adding up to their biggest advances in months, after relentless battles that Kyiv described as human wave attacks which showed Moscow had no regard for the lives of its own men.
"The situation is very tough. Bakhmut, Vuhledar and other sectors in Donetsk region — there are constant Russian attacks," President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a video address late on Sunday .
Vuhledar sits south of Bakhmut, near where the eastern frontline protects Russian-controlled rail lines supplying Moscow's forces in southern Ukraine. Ministers from the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies led by Russia, known collectively as OPEC+, are due to hold a virtual meeting on Wednesday.
