Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited troops at the southeastern front line on Wednesday and presented medals to soldiers. He said he was working with Commander-in-Chief Mykhailo Drapaty in the Oleksandrivsky sector and met commanders about drone and artillery supplies, AWOL issues, training, and motivation. Ukraine said earlier this month it had retaken around 26 villages across three eastern and southern regions, but AFP could not verify that claim. The war has left Ukraine’s army facing desertions, conscription problems, and a drone-heavy front line.
