President Zelensky visits new frontline defences in Donetsk

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday (April 19) visited the frontline Donetsk region in Ukraine's east and held a meeting on the defence situation.

He said on X that he also visited a paratroopers' medical platoon and examined the construction of fortifications: "Every effort must be made in this regard."

Twenty-five months into Moscow's full-scale invasion, Ukraine is on the back foot, and Russian troops are inching forward.
