Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said defences must be quickly beefed up across the front line, after meeting commanders in some of the main pressure points in the south and east.
"In all major sectors where reinforcement is needed, [we must] speed up building of structures," he said in his nightly address.
Russian forces are trying to encircle the eastern town of Avdiivka.
And they are targeting the southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.
With temperatures falling below freezing and Ukraine cloaked with snow, President Zelensky has said "winter as a whole is a new phase of war".

Go right ahead, Z, but do it on your own dime.
Ukraine: We will fortify the front line and place all our resources up front in strong points to wait out the winter.
Russia: Frozen ground means our armored divisions can move more quickly. All we need is a breakthrough and we can then maneuver with impunity.
Couldn’t we just send him a couple box car loads of those green plastic silhouette targets that the Army uses at the rifle ranges?
A new money laundering scheme for Western aid.
The work should have been done long ago shortly after the front line was stabilized.
The Russians apparently fortified in depth before the Ukrainian counteroffensives.
IOW, send me billions of US tax dollars, ASAP.
LOL, its the SECOND winter of the war, where russian "armored divisions... can maneuver with impunity". Delusional idiocy.
Is this strutting boob now playing a new role in his acting career as battlefield commander?
Time to cede the Donbas Region and Crimea to Russia, and sue for peace, Zelinskyyyyyy.
You’re out of soldiers, and we’re out of ammunition, money, and patience.
Zelenskyyyy: I saw another pretty yacht, I need more money.
Sure, because THIS time you can trust Putin?

Russia has no plans:
On any Ukrainian territory.
Ok, Just Crimea
Ok, just Crimea & a small part of Donetsk
Ok, Just Crimea & all of Donetsk
Ok, Just Crimea & all of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk & Zaporizhzhia
But this time we’re not lying. Ukraine should negotiate.
Zelensky must be running out of Human Shields.
Some day that will happen. Just a question of how many more must die until then.
LOL, sure, our "treasury" is dry because we spent 100 billion on Ukraine last year, out of a total US budget of 6.5 trillion. That's the reason, not the other 6.4 trillion in spending. Okay
Destroying our enemies military without one US injury or death is a worthwhile goal. US spent 5% of its military budget(Donating mostly older weapons) to destroy half of Russia’s capability with the help of Ukraine.
Its also an important warning to China.
You didn’t address the Ukrainian manpower issue, which is also a limiting factor in continued fighting. Russia’s military is not ‘destroyed,’ and the only warning to China is that we’re out of artillery shells and HIMARS rockets.
