Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed the commander of

Ukrainian forces fighting Russian forces in the Donbas region in the country's
east.

He has given no reason for the dismissal of Eduard Moskalyov announced

on Sunday. He stressed his resolve to regain all occupied territories from
Russia.

Ukrainian media say Moskalyov had served as the commander for Donbas
since March last year, shortly after the Russian invasion began.

The dismissal comes as fierce battles continue to rage in Donbas, which

covers the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Donetsk Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko wrote on social media on Sunday that

Russian rocket strikes continued in his region from Saturday evening to
Sunday morning.

He said the attacks killed three people and wounded four others in and near
Bakhmut, one of Ukraine's regional strongholds.

In Ukraine, a number of high-ranking government officials have been

replaced this year.
