Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his nightly address Saturday “the situation in Donbas is extremely difficult,” as the Russian army has been escalating the attacks on Slovyansk and Severodonetsk over the past few days.
“The Armed Forces of Ukraine are deterring this offensive. Every day that our defenders take away from these offensive plans of Russia, disrupting them, is a concrete contribution to the approach of the main day. The desired day that we are all looking forward to and fighting for: Victory Day,” Zelensky said.
“No Russian strikes; neither by missiles in the Rivne region, nor by artillery in the Kharkiv or Sumy region, nor by all possible weapons in Donbas, will give Russia any result,” Zelensky added.
