Zelensky's Surprise Visit to Bakhmut Amid Intense Fighting and US General's Warning on Russian Presence in Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited front line military positions near Bakhmut despite intense fighting in the region and reports that Russian forces have the area surrounded. A Russian drone attack killed at least four people in the Kyiv region overnight. The Russian navy "repelled" a drone attack on the port of Sevastopol in Moscow-annexed Crimea early on Wednesday, the Kremlin-backed governor of the city said. The International Monetary Fund said on Tuesday it has reached a staff-level agreement with Ukraine for a four-year financing package worth about $15.6 billion.
