"Ukrainian Forces Resist Russian Advance in Eastern Stronghold"

Ukrainian and Russian forces are engaged in fierce fighting near the town of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine, with Russian forces making advances despite denials from Kyiv. Ukraine is facing shortages of artillery shells with US aid stalled in Congress, while Russia has intensified its attacks on energy infrastructure, causing large-scale outages. Ukrainian President Zelensky has lowered the draft age for calling up reservists, and Ukraine has deployed long-range drones to attack targets deep inside Russia.
