POKROVSK
RUSSIA pressed its offensive in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region on Sunday as Poland's president travelled to Kyiv to support the country's Western aspirations and became the first foreign leader to address the Ukrainian parliament since the start of the war.
Ukrainian lawmakers stood to applaud Polish President Andrzej Duda, who thanked them for the honour of speaking in a place where "the heart of a free, independent and democratic Ukraine beats", according to remarks carried by the Polish state-run news agency PAP.
Duda's visit, his second to Ukraine's capital since April, came as Russian and Ukrainian forces engaged in battles along a 551-kilometre wedge of the country's eastern industrial heartland.
After declaring its full control of a sprawling seaside steel plant that was the last defence holdout in the port city of Mariupol, the Russian military launched artillery and missile attacks in Ukraine's industrial heartland, seeking to expand the territory Moscow-backed separatists have held since 2014.
In a Saturday night video address to the nation, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the situation in the Donbas as "really hard", but he said his country's ability to withstand nearly three months of full-scale war against Russia "is good news'.
