Russia Deploys Troops in Donetsk
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy states that Russia has deployed approximately 170,000 troops in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region.
The goal is to capture the stronghold of Pokrovsk in a major push for a battlefield victory.
"The situation in Pokrovsk is difficult,"
Zelenskiy said, rejecting recent Russian claims that the city is surrounded after more than a year of fighting.
He acknowledged that some Russian units had infiltrated the city, but insisted that Ukrainian defenders are weeding them out.
"There are Russians in Pokrovsk,"
Zelenskiy told a media briefing in Kyiv.
