Russia poured more troops into Ukraine on Tuesday to up its battle for control of the country's eastern industrial heartland of coal mines and factories.
The eastern cities of Kharkiv and Kramatorsk came under deadly attack, and Russia also said it struck areas around Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro west of the Donbas with missiles.
The arms provided by Europe and America have been key to bolstering Ukraine's defense, helping the under-gunned country to hold off the Russians.
