Zelensky appoints new ground forces chief
KYIV, Ukraine: Ukrainian President Voloydmyr Zelensky on Thursday appointed Gennadiy Shapovalov as commander of the country's ground forces, replacing a previous commander who resigned following a deadly Russian strike on an army training ground. Shapovalov worked as a military aid liaison in Germany and previously commanded Ukraine's southern military district. In his evening address, Zelensky said he hoped Shapovalov would bring 'real combat experience' to the role and called for changes in the Ukrainian army, which is struggling to hold off Moscow's forces more than three years into Russia's invasion. 'Changes are needed, this is a mandatory issue,' Zelensky said in his evening address. Moscow's forces have been advancing across the front line for over a year and have been making inroads in Ukraine's Sumy region, which the Kremlin had not occupied since the start of the war. Peace talks on ending the conflict have stalled in recent weeks and Kyiv's biggest ally, Washington, is now focusing its attention on the Middle East. Russia says it is open to a peace settlement but Kyiv has accused Moscow of deliberately sabotaging talks to prolong the fighting.

Russia says captured another village in Ukraine's Sumy region
Russia's army said Wednesday that its forces had captured another village in Ukraine's northeastern Sumy region, where Moscow has stepped up its offensive in recent weeks. The Russian troops captured Novomykolaivka in Sumy, a settlement around four kilometers (two miles) from the Ukraine-Russia border, the defense ministry said on Telegram. The advance of Moscow's army comes as peace talks have stalled and as Russia rejects the unconditional truce demanded by Kyiv and its European allies. Ukraine has dismissed Russia's demands as 'ultimatums.' Russia first tried to capture the regional capital Sumy at the start of its offensive in 2022, before being pushed back in a Ukrainian counter-offensive later that year. In 2024, Kyiv used the Sumy region as the base for its own armed incursion into Russia's western Kursk region. After recapturing the Kursk territory earlier this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his army to once again advance across the border to push back Ukraine's forces. Sumy is not one of the five Ukrainian regions that Russia claims to have formally annexed. Russia's defense ministry said Wednesday that its troops had also captured the settlement of Dovgenke in the Kharkiv region.
