KYIV: Ukrainian forces have pushed back some of the advances Russia made over the summer, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday, calling the operation an “important success” after months of battlefield setbacks. Zelensky said his troops had reclaimed 160 square kilometers (62 square miles) of land near the eastern coal mining town of Dobropillia, where Russia pierced Ukraine’s defenses in August. US President Donald Trump, meanwhile, expressed mounting frustration at his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for not halting the invasion.

Volodymyr Zelensky denounced 'an obvious expansion of the war by Russia' after Russian drones flew over NATO countries.
