Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy visited troops tasked with defending the northeastern city of Kupyansk as Russia seeks to press home an advantage against Kyiv’s embattled forces.

In a trip which appeared to be a show of support to the hard-pressed military after last week’s retreat from the besieged eastern city of Avdiivka, Zelenskiy handed out awards to servicemen and discussed the situation on the ground.
