"Ukraine's Battle for Avdiivka: Zelenskyy Seeks International Support Amid Russian Assault"

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy seeks support from Germany and France as heavy battles rage in the front-line city of Avdiivka, where Russian forces are pressing in. The situation is difficult but controlled, with Ukraine facing ammunition shortages and delays in Western military assistance. Russia aims to capture Avdiivka to gain complete control of the eastern Donbas provinces, but Zelenskyy is striving to provide as much support as possible to Ukrainian forces. During his European tour, Zelenskyy aims to secure guarantees for Ukraine's future and has already secured a historic security agreement and military support package from Germany.
