Nato allies weigh more arms for Ukraine as Russia gears up offensive

KYIV - Russian forces bombarded Ukrainian positions along the frontlines in eastern Donetsk region on Tuesday in what appeared to be early salvoes of a new offensive, as Nato allies met in Brussels to plan stepped-up supplies to the Kyiv government.

He said Russian artillery was hitting targets all along the frontlines in Donetsk, which along with Luhansk region makes up the Donbas, Ukraine’s industrial heartland and a main objective for the Russians. Ukraine’s military said on Tuesday its forces had repelled attacks in five settlements in Luhansk and six in Donetsk, including in Bakhmut, over the past 24 hours.

The capture of Bakhmut would give Russia a new foothold in Donetsk and a rare victory after months of setbacks. “Thank you to every one of our soldiers who are preventing the occupiers from encircling Bakhmut... and who are holding our key positions at the front,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in an evening address.
