KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine’s top general said Kyiv’s troops were stepping up assaults on Russian forces around the eastern Ukrainian town of Dobropillia to ease pressure on the embattled hub of Pokrovsk.

In a statement, Oleksandr Syrskyi also said Ukrainian forces were broadly focused on securing lines of logistics and pushing Russian troops out of urban buildings.
