"Ukrainian Troops Withdraw as Russia Advances in Eastern Ukraine, EU Shells Shortage"

Ukrainian troops have retreated from a village in eastern Ukraine as Russian forces continue to advance, displaying advantages in manpower and ammunition. The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have "liberated" the village, while Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustan Umerov expressed frustration over delayed Western military support. Western leaders have pledged to stand by Ukraine, with Bulgarian Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov visiting Kyiv to show support, and more than 20 European heads of state and government meeting in Paris to discuss the ongoing conflict. Additionally, there were reports of a drone strike on a Russian city near the Ukraine border and casualties on both sides.
