Ukraine's top general says troops fall back as fighting worsens on eastern front

"Ukraine's army leader admitted Sunday that Kyiv's position on the battlefield has worsened after Russian forces captured another village in the east, pressing their advantage in manpower and ammunition. Ukrainian troops had "retreated" westwards to new defensive lines in a section of the front that runs past the city of Donetsk. Russia's defense ministry earlier on Sunday claimed its troops had captured the village of Novobakhmutivka in the eastern Donetsk region – around 10 kilometres (six miles) north of Avdiivka, which they seized in February."
