On the frontline in eastern Ukraine as Russians move closer

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged leaders at the UN General Assembly to seek a “real, just peace“ for Ukraine, not “an out“. Tomorrow he’ll present what he’s calling his “victory plan“ to President Biden. But there’s little talk of victory among his soldiers on the frontline in eastern Ukraine, where Russian forces have been making slow and steady progress for weeks. Russia says its troops have begun storming the town of Vuhledar, a Ukrainian stronghold. Further north the town of Ukrainsk was taken in the last 24 hours. And they’re moving in on the strategically important city of Pokrovsk, which we’ve visited. An evacuation order was issued there weeks ago, but around 15,000 of its 50,000 population have stayed put.
