Ukrainian Troops Retreat As Conflict With Russia Intensifies In Eastern Front, Zelenskyy Urges US For Swift Arms Deliveries
In the latest development in the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, the country’s top commander, Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi, has reported a worsening situation with Ukrainian troops falling back to new positions.
What Happened: Syrskyi revealed that Ukrainian troops have retreated west of three villages where Russian forces have amassed in significant numbers, Reuters reported on Monday. The areas west of Maryinka and northwest of Avdiivka, a town seized by Russian forces in February, are described as the “most difficult.”
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged international partners to expedite arms deliveries to help maintain positions and disrupt Russian plans. He emphasized the need for Patriot systems in a conversation with U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
