Ukraine's military says it is regrouping its forces to defend Donetsk. Commanders say they have repelled attacks by Russian forces on several positions in the eastern region, where they still control major cities. Many residents are evacuating in anticipation of an increased Russian offensive.

The city of Slovyansk came under shelling again overnight. Russian missiles have destroyed homes and killed several people in recent days, after Ukraine retreated from nearby Lysychansk. Can Ukraine turn the situation around?
