And they are targeting the southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.
Overnight Ukraine's Air Force said it had shot down 18 out of 25 Russian drones And One of two cruise missiles.
With temperatures falling below freezing and Ukraine cloaked with snow, President Zelensky has said " winter as a whole is a new phase of war".
The Ukrainian leader said " maximum attention" would be paid to eastern towns coming Under Fire in the Donetsk region as well as a key defensive line in the north-east between Kupyansk and Lyman.
He also included the region around the capital Kyiv where fortifications would be bolstered.
President Zelensky's emphasis on strengthening defensive lines may lend weight to fears of an increasingly " frozen" conflict, despite some continued fierce fighting.

One community to the north-west of Avdiivka, Stepove, was coming under repeated attack, and Russia was sending significant forces in a bid to seize a nearby coke plant just outside Avdiivka.
" Without taking the coke plant, they can only dream about [capturing] Avdiivka. . I'm not convinced they have such power to do that, although very many of them are concentrated there, " he told Ukraine's public broadcaster.
In The South -east as well, Russian forces have sought to regain areas lost during Ukraine's counter-offensive around Robotyne, according to Ukrainian officials, who say they are managing to maintain positions they recaptured recently on The East bank of The River Dnipro.
Mr Zelensky said Ukraine was not backing down after its summer operations, although he was unhappy with the extent of casualties.
" We Are losing people, I'm not satisfied. We didn't get all the weapons we wanted, I can't be satisfied, " he told the Associated Press .
Ukraine forces regained The Village of Krynky last month after they crossed the Dnipro, and have since come under relentless Russian attack.
Russia's defence ministry has meanwhile said its navy repelled a Ukrainian naval attack on occupied Crimea via the Black Sea .
