Ukraine's Zelensky visits frontline in rare appearance outside Kyiv
UKRAINIAN President Volodymyr Zelensky visits the frontline in rare appearance outside of Kyiv.

The trip marks his first official appearance outside the Kyiv region since the start of Russia's invasion on February 24.

The president's office website said Zelensky spoke to soldiers, handing out commendations and gifts.

Several explosions were heard in the city of Kharkiv, just hours after the president's visit, according to a Reuters journalist.

Kharkiv has been subjected to Russian shelling in recent days after several weeks of relative quiet.
