Volodymyr Zelensky said he met Ukrainian soldiers near the town of Pokrovsk in Donetsk, where one of the fiercest front-line battles between Russia and Ukraine is underway.

According to Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence agency (GUR), a Ukrainian intelligence drone strike has destroyed the command centre of Rubicon, in what Kyiv says was a major blow to Moscow’s battlefield capabilities.

In Ukraine, unmanned weapons hunt the wounded and medics alike. Moving injured soldiers to safety has never been more difficult.
