Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the Donbas region in Eastern Ukraine could soon fall to Russian forces, giving his most grim assessment yet.
In a video address over the weekend, Zelenskyy said that conditions in Donbas have grown “indescribably difficult” and suggested the region could fall to Russia. Since the 2014 color revolution in Kyiv, pro-Russian forces have controlled parts of Donestk and Lugansk and sporadic fighting has erupted over the years.
