KYIV (Reuters) - Ukraine's military said its troops were subjected to dozens of attacks by Russian forces on Monday around Toretsk and Pokrovsk, two settlements in eastern Ukraine where Moscow is gaining ground against embattled Ukrainian forces.
In a statement, the military said Russian troops attacked Ukrainian defenders 21 times over the course of Monday in the Toretsk area, with some of the attacks still ongoing after nightfall.
It also said there were 63 skirmishes on Monday around Pokrovsk, a logistics hub. The Pokrovsk front is the area with the most intense fighting in eastern Ukraine with a record number of clashes reported last week.
