US EditionUkrainian defenses face a challenge as Russian troops make gains ahead of the Putin-Trump summit
Russia claimed its largest frontline gain in over a year, advancing up to 6 miles near Druzhkivka, while diplomatic efforts continue ahead of the Alaska summit, analysts say.
- Russian troops breached Ukrainian defenses in the Donetsk region and advanced about 10 kilometers east of the coal-mining town of Dobropillia.
- Ukraine's military has been repelling these attempts, although the situation has not been stabilized, and additional battle-hardened troops like the Azov brigade have been deployed.
- President Zelenskyy said Putin wants Ukraine to withdraw from the remaining 30% of the Donetsk region it still controls as part of a ceasefire deal, a proposal Zelenskyy categorically rejected.
