A service member of the Ukrainian armed forces observes the area bordering the rebel-controlled city of Horlivka from combat positions near the line of separation in New York town in the Donetsk region, Ukraine February 9, 2022.

April 24 (Reuters) - Ukraine has repelled numerous Russian assaults along the line of contact in Donbas this week, a British military update said on Sunday.

Despite Russia making some territorial gains, Ukrainian resistance has been strong across all axes and inflicted a significant cost on Russian forces, the UK Ministry of Defence tweeted in a regular bulletin.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
