Ukraine has been struggling to fend off Russia's assault in the east, hence the calls for accelerated weapons deliveries.

Russia is rapidly advancing near Pokrovsk, Toretsk and Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region.

Russian forces almost seized Krasnohorivka and occupied New York, a town in the Donetsk region, a Ukrainian army brigade said in a Telegram post on Sunday.

The General Staff of the Ukrainian army did not reply to POLITICO's request for comment.

Ukraine is finding more success across the border on Russian soil, where it caught the Kremlin's forces on the hop nearly two weeks ago now. »
