Former President Trump held a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Trump Tower in New York. Zelenskyy discussed how it was important for him to meet with both presidential candidates about continuing support for Ukraine after the November election.
KYIV, Ukraine — Russian troops on Wednesday took charge of the eastern Ukrainian town of Vuhledar, a bastion that had resisted intense attacks since Russia launched its full-scale assault in 2022. The advance of Moscow’s forces, which control just under a fifth of Ukraine, has underlined Russia’s vast superiority in men and materiel as Ukraine pleads for more weapons from the Western allies that have been supporting it.
But in August the battlefield became much more dynamic: Ukraine smashed through the border in Russia’s Kursk region in a bid to divert Russian forces, and Russian troops began advancing faster than before in eastern Ukraine. Russian forces have been pushing westwards at key points along some 95 miles of the front in the Donetsk region, with the logistics hub of Pokrovsk also a key target. They captured Ukrainsk on Sept. 17 and then began encircling Vuhledar, about 50 miles south of Pokrovsk.
