During an Oval Office meeting this afternoon, President Trump showed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky a map of Ukraine, titled “Russia-Ukraine Conflict Map,” indicating what percent of territory is under Russian control or contested land.

Oleksandr Syrskyi says special forces have been deployed but denies Russian reports Ukrainian troops are surrounded in Pokrovsk.

Moscow’s forces infiltrated Pokrovsk after months of attacks on the city, a strategic part of Ukraine’s eastern defenses.

Ukrainian long-range drones have reportedly struck an industrial plant deep inside Russia, approximately 1,300 kilometres (800 miles) from the border, while Kyiv’s forces continue to fight an intense battle to repel a Russian advance on the strategic city of Pokrovsk in eastern Donetsk.

Russia has been threatening Pokrovsk for more than a year. Instead of the full frontal assaults it used in earlier battles like the bloody campaign for the similarly sized city of Bakhmut, Russia's military is using a pincer movement to gradually encircle Pokrovsk and threaten Ukrainian supply lines.

Kyiv and Moscow have offered contrasting responses after Donald Trump imposed sanctions on Russia's biggest oil firms in a major shift of policy. Meanwhile, NATO jets are scrambled after Russian military aircraft briefly enter Lithuanian airspace.

Kyiv says it is preparing to carry out more long-range strikes on Russian energy infrastructure as winter approaches
