Ukraine's top commander said Kyiv's outnumbered troops had fallen.
Ukrainian military cadets visit graves of Ukrainian servicemen, who were killed during Russia's attack on Ukraine, to mark the Orthodox feast of Palm Sunday at the Lychakiv cemetery in Lviv, Ukraine April 28, 2024.Ukraine’s top commander said on Sunday Kyiv’s outnumbered troops had fallen back to new positions west of three villages on the eastern front where Russia has concentrated significant forces in several locations.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a fresh plea to international partners to speed arms deliveries so Kyiv could maintain its positions and disrupt Russian plans. “In general, the enemy achieved certain tactical successes in these areas, but could not gain operational advantages,” he said, adding that Russia had committed four brigades to the assault.
Moscow’s troops have been slowly advancing since capturing the bastion town of Avdiivka, taking advantage of Ukrainian shortages of artillery shells and manpower. Syrskyi described Chasiv Yar and the village of Ivanivske to its northeast as the “hottest spots” on that part of the front. Russia’s defence ministry said it had repelled Ukrainian counter-attacks near Chasiv Yar.In what could prove a worrying development for Ukraine, Syrskyi said his forces were closely monitoring an increase in the number of Russian troops in the area of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city.
