Ukrainian Troops Retreat from East as Russia Escalates Attacks During Lull in Weapons Transfer
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ukrainian troops have begun retreating from several villages in eastern
Ukraine as Russia intensifies its attacks while Ukraine waits for a new
shipment of arms from the United States. Over the weekend, Russian
forces reportedly captured two villages in the Donetsk region. Russia
has also ramped up attacks on Ukraine's railroad system in an effort to
disrupt weapons supply routes.
