Moscow's lengthy assault in eastern Donetsk continues to be met with force, Ukraine's military says.
Ukraine's military has not commented on US media reports that Kyiv may be now running dangerously low on its artillery stockpileNumerous attacks have been repelled in the area of eastern Donetsk over the last 24 hours, Ukraine's military says.
A key concern for Ukraine is its ever-decreasing ammunition stocks as the high-intensity war with Russia shows no sign of slowing. Separately, partial evacuation was on Thursday ordered in the north-eastern city of Kupiansk, Kharkiv region, which was liberated from the Russian occupation last September.In a statement on Friday, Mr Blinken said: "This military assistance package includes more ammunition for US-provided Himars and howitzers, which Ukraine is using so effectively to defend itself".
Those advances - and the liberation of the southern city of Kherson - were the most significant front-line changes since Russia withdrew from areas around Kyiv in April. Both Ukraine and Russia are believed to be firing tens of thousands of artillery shells every day in what is seen as a high-intensity war of attrition in recent months.However, President Zelensky on Thursday said that "artillery is number one that we need".
