The President of Ukraine appealed for the acceleration of weapon and ammunition deliveries primarily to the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.
He also pointed out that the Ukrainian army is achieving success in fighting the Russian aggressor, despite the difficult situation at the front, especially in the Toretsk and Pokrovsk regions, where the Russians are constantly attempting to break through Ukrainian defensive lines.
– In just one day, there have been dozens of attacks, but our units, our brigades, are doing everything to hold the positions. I thank everyone who is making this possible – emphasized President Zelensky.
"Buffer zone on the aggressor's territory"
According to the President of Ukraine, the primary objective of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' ongoing defensive actions is to destroy as much of Russia's war potential as possible and conduct effective counterattacks.
Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized the particular significance of the ongoing operation conducted by Ukrainian forces in Russia's Kursk region. As he highlighted, it aims to "create a buffer zone on the aggressor's territory."
