'Bakhmut, Vuhledar and other sectors in Donetsk region - there are constant Russian attacks,' Zelenskiy said.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Ukraine was facing a difficult situation in Donetsk and needed faster weapons supplies and new types of weaponry, just days after allies agreed to provide Kyiv with heavy battle tanks.
Russian troops had occupied Kherson shortly after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and held the city until Ukrainian forces recaptured it in November. Since its liberation, the city has regularly been shelled from Russian positions across the Dnipro river. Ukraine's General Staff said in a statement late on Sunday that Russian forces had shelled Bakhmut, the focus of Moscow's offensive in the eastern Donetsk region, as well as Vuhledar to the southwest where fighting has intensified in recent days.
After weeks of wrangling, Germany and the United States last week said they would send Ukraine dozens of tanks to help push back Russian forces, opening the way for other countries to follow suit.
