Zelenskiy says Ukraine is facing a difficult situation and calls for faster weapons supplies
Three people were killed and six injured on Sunday by Russian strikes on Kherson that damaged a hospital and a school, the regional administration said.
Later on Sunday a missile struck an apartment building in the northeastern town of Kharkiv, killing an elderly woman, regional governor Oleh Synehubov said. A Ukrainian military statement issued on the previous evening had noted intensified fighting in Vuhledar, southwest of Bakhmut, in recent days. After weeks of wrangling, Germany and the United States last week said they would send Ukraine dozens of tanks to help push back Russian forces, opening the way for other countries to follow suit.
Talks were also under way between Kyiv and its allies about Ukraine’s requests for long-range missiles, a top aide to Mr Zelenskiy said on Saturday. Ukraine has also asked for US F16 fighter jets.
