Ukraine says eastern front has 'deteriorated significantly'

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukraine’s commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi warned on Saturday that the situation on the eastern front had “deteriorated significantly” in recent days.
The gains come after a year of the front line being mostly frozen and against a Ukrainian army dogged by manpower and ammunition shortages, amid delays in Western aid.
Syrskyi said the fighting had intensified after Russia’s presidential election, in which President Vladimir Putin triumphed against his permitted opposition.
Chasiv Yar lies 20 kilometers (12 miles) west of Bakhmut, which was flattened by months of artillery fire before being seized by Moscow’s forces last May.
Syrskyi took over as commander-in-chief in February after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy fired his popular predecessor, Valery Zaluzhny.
This week, Ukraine adopted new legislation, making it easier to recruit urgently needed soldiers and fining those who try to escape military drafts.
