Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to meet with defense personnel in the Donetsk region on Tuesday. The president confirmed that he consulted warriors at the command post of the first unit of the National Guard of Ukraine Azov, which is leading defense efforts in the Dobropillya zone, a location approximately 12 miles from Pokrovsk.

The national leader also signed a law allowing military conscription all year round whereas previously it was possible only during limited periods in fall and spring. Moscow legally bars recruits from being assigned to fighting, but after their defense commitment they enter Russia's reserves, putting them at risk of being sent to war.

Substantial defense expenditures have also started to strain the Russian state budget, with authorities hiking rates to address growing shortfalls.

The President's Appeals for Allied Help

The Ukrainian president appealed to Washington to continue considering to supplying Kyiv with long-range weapons.

The Russian embassy in Rome later posted condolences for the death of a Romanian worker in the collapse but seized the moment to protest that the negative feedback to the remarks was anti-Russian.
