Fiercest battle rages in east, says Ukraine

KYIV

UKRAINE said on Thursday the war in the east of the country had hit its fiercest level yet as it urged Western allies to match words with support against invading Russian forces. Moscow's troops are pushing into the industrial Donbas region after failing to take the capital Kyiv, closing in on several urban centres including the strategically located Severodonotak and Lyeyehansk.

Russian forces also shelled Ukraine's second city Kharkiv, killing four people, after Moscow's efforts to capture the northeastern hub were repelled by heavy battles early in the war.

Kyiv called on the West to urgently supply more heavy weapons for its outgunned forces.

"The fighting has reached its maximum intensity," Ukraine's Deputy Defence Minister Ganna Malyar hold told a press briefing about the battles in the east.
