Moscow is ramping up pressure in several pivotal points along the frontline in eastern Ukraine. Ukraine's army has pulled back from five villages in the southern Zaporizhzhia region following intense battles with Russian forces, the Army Group South said. In a statement on Facebook on Tuesday, the Ukrainian command reported that positions northeast of Huliaipole — including the villages of Yablukove, Rivnopillia, and Solodke — had come under heavy artillery fire, leading to the "de facto destruction of all shelters and fortifications." The withdrawal order was issued after sustained Russian attacks that military observers say resulted in a breakthrough along this stretch of the front. Moscow has claimed the capture of several settlements in the area. Ukraine has been defending against Russia's invasion for more than three and a half years. In the eastern Kharkiv and Donetsk regions, its forces have been gradually retreating under continued Russian pressure. #UkraineWar #Pokrovsk #Donetzk For more news go to: http://www.dw.com/en/ Follow DW on social media: ►Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dwnews ►TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dwnews ►Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deutschewellenews/ ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/dwnews Für Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https://www.youtube.com/dwdeutsch Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/user/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1
