President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visited troops on Ukraine’s eastern front as the military reported further advances in the south, with the counteroffensive pressing ahead in a grinding effort to pierce Russian defensive lines.
A Russian drone attack on Izmail, a key Danube port, killed at least one person, the local governor said on Telegram early Wednesday. It marked the latest such assault on the city, which is crucial to Ukrainian grain exports. Kyiv also came under attack from Russian missiles overnight, but the city’s military administration said they had all been shot down.
