Ukrainian defenders battled on Saturday to contain Russian forces along several fronts, officials said, as the United States urged China to align itself with the West in opposing the invasion following an ill-tempered G20 meeting.

A missile strike on the northeastern city of Kharkiv wounded three civilians, its governor said, though Russia’s main attacks appeared focused southeast of there in Luhansk and Donetsk.

Donetsk regional Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said on the Telegram messaging service that a Russian missile had struck Druzhkivka, a town behind the front line, and reported shelling of other population centres. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the armaments were priority needs. “It is what helps us press on the enemy,” he said on Twitter.

The Chinese foreign ministry said, without giving details, that Wang and Blinken had exchanged views on “the Ukraine issue”. Kharkiv’s Governor Oleh Synehubov said on Telegram that, as well as the missile strike, fighters had repulsed two Russian attacks near Dementiivka, a town situated between the city and the border with Russia.

Russian-backed forces on the territory of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic said three people died and 17 were wounded there in the past 24 hours as Ukrainian forces shelled 10 locations.Following Friday’s testy G20 exchanges, President Vladimir Putin also signaled that the Kremlin was in no mood for compromise, saying sanctions against Russia risked causing “catastrophic” energy price rises.
