Ukraine's President Visits Front-Line Ahead of New Phase.

Ukraine's President Zelenskyy visited areas affected by Russia's war, including Kherson and Donetsk, as a possible new phase of the conflict looms. Ukraine is receiving modern weapons and training from Western allies, while Russia has been digging in and making long-range attacks. Ukraine's ground forces commander hinted at a counteroffensive, as Russian forces are "exhausting themselves" in their push to take Bakhmut. The EU endorsed a plan to send Ukraine 1 million rounds of artillery ammunition and missiles if requested, while Finland delivered additional defense material worth $175 million. Bulgaria, a member of NATO and the EU, said it won't export weapons to Ukraine.
