The situation at the front in the Kharkov region
The head of state noted that special attention is now focused on the Kharkov region, since defensive battles continue there in a significant part of our border zone.
— There are villages that are actually from the “gray zone” have become a combat zone, and the occupier is trying to gain a foothold in some of them, and simply use some for further advancement. I want to thank our soldiers who hold their positions and destroy the occupier. Artillery, drones — everyone who is involved, and involved exactly, — thank you too. Our task is obvious — it is necessary to inflict the greatest losses on the occupier, — he emphasized.
The President also noted that constant attention to other areas of combat — Donetsk directions are no less aggravated now.
— Actually, the intention of the strikes in the Kharkov region is to stretch our forces and undermine the moral and motivational basis of the Ukrainians’ ability to defend themselves. Pokrovskoe direction, despite everything — the most severe. In just this 24-hour period there were already 30 military clashes in the Pokrovsky direction, — Zelensky said.
He reported that the Limanskoye and Vremovskoye directions, Kramatorskoye, Kupyanskoye — there our soldiers respond with dignity to the occupier and do everything possible to hold back Russian assaults.
